Why aren’t M’s game results in daily paper?

Being a Herald subscriber for many years, I continue to see the paper cut features I like, such as Dear Abby, daily TV listings and The Buzz.

As for The Seattle Mariners, I can understand that coverage can’t be included when they play extra innings, but it’s getting a little ridiculous this year. A couple weeks ago when Texas was in two, two or three night games were over by 10:25 p.m. and didn’t make the paper. The June 12 game with Los Angeles, same story: “The game ended too late to make the paper. Go to HeraldNet.com for a recap.”

What time do you shut the lights off at The Herald, 11 p.m.? Try printing all of Donald Trump’s garbage first, and then the sports pages last. Might even sell a few more papers.
