The face... meh.

Nice set though.

I was wondering what all the cheering was for.

Ah, the good old Lou Brown...

"I figure it's going to take 32 more victories to win this thing. Every time we win, we peel a section...."

Royals and Pirates both 12/15 in their leagues in attendance at ~1.2m. So much for the theory that winning draws fans, it really doesn't. Small markets can't support baseball very easily. Tampa can't draw either. Cleveland can't draw, Oakland can't draw. (Cleveland is dead last in attendance in the AL)


MLB is a sport for super large markets that can throw millions of warm bodies into the stands over a long drawn out 6-month season. STL is probably the lone exception to the rule.

Tampa can't draw because everybody down there is from the northeast originally. Oakland can't draw because its a dying city.

I have no idea about the other cities? KC used to draw solidly when they were good. I wonder if having them on TV most nights hurts their attendance? It didn't used to be that way back in the day.

This is fantastic. I've never been so excited about the Royals.

In fairness, the Royals have been out of it until this recent winning streak. Let's see if attendance gets a bump now that we're back home and the games suddenly matter.

Yeah, the Royals don't prove shit in terms of attendance, yet. They were dead in the water at the break. And now this.

If this run continues and no one goes out, then we'll have to accept the fact.

Not to mention the Royals are 3rd from the bottom in home games so far only the Cardinals and White Sox have played less. The Royals should see a big jump this week with the Red Sox coming in this weekend.

God.

ESPN is so unwatchable.

MOAR AROD HIGHLIGHTS PLZ!

Just about to post the same thing. I made the mistake of watching baseball tonight thinking there might be some Royals talk. 7/8's A-Rod talk. **** you ESPN

Not me, I want Cleveland to win out and bring Detroit back into the fold. We play both Cleveland and Detroit enough to take care of them once we are caught up. We can take this division, Cleveland plays more road games than we do, Detroit is on even playing field with us home and away.

Go Cleveland, they will fail down the stretch,let's shoot for Detroit, just keep winning!

It's really odd how the media works sometimes.

Giving the antagonist all of the limelight.

Well Moose was hitting under .200 for most of the season, and only until June 22nd did he raise his average over .200. It's not like people were blindly begging for him to be sent down. He was awful for months, but now obviously he is playing better down the stretch.

And realistically there was no way Hos and Moose were going to be sent down, as their are no other options for those positions. People were frustrated with their lack of production(Mostly Moose).
