No truth in advertising

We can assume the layout folks at the Philadelphia Inquirer aren't big baseball fans.

In a Dewey defeats Truman moment, here's the back page of section one today, the day after the Phillies fell down 3-1 in the World Series against the Yankees:

Some magic indeed. According to NBC Philadelphia, this may be the work of a rogue Yankee fan on staff: "Next to the offending ad is an article that should have the headline “Limbaugh, Axelrod Trade Jabs.” Instead, the second blooper on the same page reads: 'Limbaugh, Alexrod Trade Jobs.'"

See what they did there? That's Yankee comedy gold.

According to NBC, the Inquirer has refused to comment.
