Two Hits, One Error 2
Typing closed captions for a live television show must be quite challenging. Mistakes can be forgiven.
But sometimes they make one laugh. Watching the Phillies and the Cubs on WGN.
Announcer, discussing the Cubs pitching woes:
. . . and they haven’t even gotten to the All-Star break.
Caption:
. . . and they haven’t even gotten to the All-Star briquet.
And then I saw something I haven’t seen before: the person typing the caption backspaced and corrected the mistake.

The original version makes as much sense as most of what comes out of the mouths of baseball announcers/commentators.
