Capitalism 1, Not Sounding Silly 0

Now that I’ve written this, I feel that I have a duty to note goofy sponsored sports stuff whenever I hear it.

While listening to the Seattle Mariners game just now, I was informed that “the Mechanics Bank score is Mariners 1, Rangers nothing”.

Two thoughts warred in my mind as I took that fact in.

1. Dear god. Has it really come to this?
2. How has none of these greedy dinguses ever thought to do that before? It’s only the most important thing about any sporting event. Seems like it should be one of the easiest, most obvious things to ruin.

I also have to wonder whether it’s only the Mechanics Bank score when Seattle is winning. Today I had to switch away before I could find out, but I’ll be sure to report back should I learn more.
