Isn’t it worthy of page one?

The Mariners rout the Texas Rangers 21-8 on Wednesday, yet the story appears on page C4. Really? We feel the game was worthy of page one. The game was exciting and thanks to each player. Congratulations! How often will you see a major league baseball game score like that?
