Smart-aleck column title
Apparently mlb.com has a naming convention for post-game “notebook” stories: they’re “Short Hops”.
Which meant that after the Milwaukee Brewers lost Game 4 today, I kept seeing the headline “Brewers Short Hops” in the Sox Gameday window. It wasn’t until I also saw “Phillies Short Hops” that I realized the headline wasn’t some editor’s clever comment on the end of Milwaukee’s season.
