Mariners to Ban Peanuts

The Mariners are so hard up for fans, they're now appealing to those with peanut allergies by banning peanuts in certain sections of the stadium for two upcoming games. Mariners management apparently thinks those with peanut allergies are deathly afraid of the legumes, and once they learn that Safeco is peanut-free, they'll flock to the stadium.

Ummm, OK Seattle. I'm sure the low attendance numbers have nothing to do with the dearth of talent or the 38-63 record. It's all about the peanuts. Or, is this just a ploy to change the "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" lyrics to "buy me some Starbucks and Nintendo Wiis....."?
