Ummm?

I know that internal consistency (the logical kind, not the jelly donut kind) is so 20th century, but one would assume that a Newspaper like the Washington Post could manage to at least have its own stories on the same event match up.

In the 'content' article about the Nat's Opening Day, we get this:

Vice President Cheney threw out the ceremonial first pitch, a right-handed toss that bounced in the dirt to the outside of the plate before being scooped up by catcher Brian Schneider. Cheney, booed by some as he walked to the mound, got even more catcalls after his throw -- a far cry from President Bush's fastball at last year's home opener.

Incidentally, that's the modified text. It originally read:

The first pitch of the Washington NationalsÂ’ second season at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium was low and away, bouncing in the dirt before being scooped up by catcher Brian Schneider. For that, Vice President Cheney received a round of boos from the home crowd this afternoon.

The 'Reliable Source' section, essentially the WaPo's gossip column, recalled the event in a way that is more consistent with, you know, the video evidence:

Vice President Cheney , tapped to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at yesterday's Nationals home opener, drew boisterous boos from the moment he stepped on the field until he jogged off. The derisive greeting was surprisingly loud and long, given the bipartisan nature of our national pastime, and drowned out a smattering of applause reported from the upper decks.

So we've gone from booed for a bad pitch to booed a little bit and then booed more for a bad pitch to booed onto the field, on the mound, through the wind-up, the pitch, and the jog off the field (with 'reports' of applause.) Isn't this the sort of thing that editors are supposed to check?
