Safe to safe that the St. Louis Post Dispatch headline genius was praying that Cardinals youngster, Mitchell Boggs, had himself a mediocre performance on Monday night against the Cincinnati Reds.

That last name just fits *so* well into headline insolence.

Dan Caesar, from the Post Dispatch, posted his Friday “Media Views” column today – which contains the quarterly sports talk radio rankings, which are less reliable than JD Drew’s lineup availability.  You can read the banter yourself, but apparently, Kevin Slaten isn’t doing so hot in the aforementioned rankings.

The STLToday.com online editor decided to have a little fun at Mr. Slaten’s expense, posting the following picture on the front page of the website.

I don’t care how much of an ass you think he is, slapping a picture of him smiling next to that headline is just mean.  Mean, yet hilarious.

Nevertheless, let’s get back into it, shall we?
