The Onion weighs in on matters sporting: A-Rod Also Leading Yankees In Grammatical Errors July 27, 2006 | Issue 42•30 NEW YORK—After an embarrassing post-game interview in which Alex Rodriguez committed three sloppy grammatical errors in a single sentence, the Yankee third-baseman moved into the team lead with 57 on the season. "I'm feeling really well out there, and I thought I had proved myself after yesterday's game, but I just can't seem to remember that prepositions are not a good thing to end a sentence with," said Rodriguez, who has been working with Yankees sentence-construction coach Lee Mazzilli on his fielding of questions. "But irregardless of what my critics say, this inflammable problem will be fixed by me." Rodriguez was also quick to note that he would likely only be third on the team in both grammatical errors and double-negatives if Hideki Matsui and Gary Sheffield had been healthy and talking all season. |

That might have had a better shot at being funny if the fabricated A-Rod quotes actually contained grammatical errors. As it is, the whole thing falls terribly flat and just makes the Onion staff look ignorant. |
