Last year, the Rays outdrew 8 teams. This year only one. Only Dodgers dropped more from last year’s attandance. This, despite a good team and good ownership. Need I describe just how bad the economy in Florida is right now?

It would be nice if baseball stopped hiding behind ticket sales to measure attendance. It’s kind of pathetic.

The Fish have Old Gator. Do they need anyone else?

Howard Cosell declared baseball dead in the mid-60s. Thankfully, to paraphrase MarkTwain, rumors of baseball’s death are greatly exaggerated.

Imagine what those numbers could be like if they could just get a couple Rays and Orioles fans to attend games?

Unnecessary make-ups (those rain outs that ended up being meaningless in the standings) were not played.

That damned Bud Selig is ruining everything…I can’t understand why the owners keep him around.

Obviously I’m missing something, but how were there 6 more games last year?

I’d like to point out that of course we like baseball, we wouldn’t be reading this blog if we didn’t.
