Warehouse Wire 2048.05: BNN is Fake News

[bcslouck]

Toward the end of every season, the reports file in from BNN alerting the sports World of a teams elimination from playoff contention, along with some "facts." Unfortunately for the Jimmies, their report has come out. But some immediately questioned if the editor was drunk.

The Jimmies have made the playoffs 0 times in their 20 years as a Brewster Baseball Association franchise

That's clearly not true. They last made the playoffs in 2046 and have made it a few times before, including a Landis appearance in 2032.

This playoff miss is the club's 2nd in a row, with their last postseason appearance coming in 2046.

Oh wait. So they do know?

Between things like this and the crazy preseason predictions they put out before Spring Training that gets everyone in a tizzy, can we really trust BNN? I mean, can we really even trust that the Jimmies are eliminated from playoff contention?

Okay. Maybe that last question is a little much. It only takes looking at the standings a half a second to see that they are mathematically eliminated in 2048. It's been a rough year. But's it a pretty egregious mistake. And looks even weirder when the next sentence has the facts.

So, BNN. What gives?

I vote you keep fighting for playoffs. I bet they’re wrong.
