Maybe We Need To Start an "Edit Buster Olney" Blog

Today, my question isn't, "How stupid is Buster Olney?" but rather, "Which of these two headlines is dumber?"

7/7/08, the day after C.C. Sabathia was traded to the Brewers:

Count on Sabathia having an impact in the NL

7/8/08, the same day Rich Harden was traded to the Cubs:

Don't expect Cubs to answer CC trade

The first headline is the baseball equivalent of, "Count on the sun to rise tomorrow". The second is not only untrue, but was proven to be false less than 24 hours after the column was posted. I leave it to you to decide.
