In sports, you can often guess the headline. For example, if the Jays gets stomped by the Kansas City Royals, the headline might be "Jays Crowned By Royals". If the Raptors are beat up by Chicago, the headline might be "Raptors Can't Run With Bulls". You get the idea.
Last night, in the first game of their second round series, the Toronto Marlies were beat 5-1 by the Syracuse Crunch. Who wants to guess today's headlines?

Occam's razor could have been about headline writing. All things being equal, the most obvious pun is always best.
