what's worse?

I'm not going to talk much about this, but what part of this story has the most unfortunate wording: headline, sub-head, or the actual tale of woe it relates? (From today's Boston Globe).

Listen to me now & believe me later: I will comment no further regarding the events that occurred in Fenway Park over the past four days. So don't ask me!

Jeter's fister KO'd Papelbon
Yankee's blooper landed just right

By Amalie Benjamin, Globe Staff | August 21, 2006

It was the perfect moment, the perfect matchup. The rookie against the captain. The game on the line. Everything down to a single moment in the ninth.

With Melky Cabrera on third base after a double and wild pitch, Jonathan Papelbon had struck out Bernie Williams and Johnny Damon. And so, with two outs and a one-run lead, Derek Jeter stepped to the plate, hoping to continue the Yankee dominance in the most crushing way possible.

It wasn't a hard hit, not a home run or a smash. But it was just enough to tie the game, a soft liner that dropped a few feet in front of charging right fielder Gabe Kapler and brought in Cabrera with the Yankees' fifth run, setting the scene for Jason Giambi's game-winning smash one inning later in the 8-5 loss to New York last ni...blahblahblah...jeter sucks...giambi's on roids...arod sucks worse... blahblah blah... posada's a shithead ... blahblah
