can someone please explain to me why some of the stadiums are so empty? baltimore is in first place (however short lived this may be) and on average they fill the park to only half of its capacity. it's nowhere near as expensive in baltimore as boston, new york or chicago to go to a game, so i don't get it, and those cities show up whether their team is in first place or not. not even when they're in first place?


what am i missing? i know baseball isn't as popular as it once was, but wtf? don't they have bandwagon fans in baltimore?

It's gonna take more than a few months of winning to get the bandwagoners to come out. They'll be there if they get into the playoffs, and if they do well in the playoffs people will be back for the next year. Jays, Os were some pretty damn good teams in the 80s-90s. Same with they Royals, etc.

So pleased with how well the Cardinals are playing so far this season. Yeah, we lost Pujols but that's okay. He doesn't seem to be doing so well in LA but he can wipe his tears away with that $30 mil a year contract he signed. I still like the guy. I hope he finds his niche soon. I'm more bummed out over the loss of Tony La Russa.

Also, David Freese is a homegrown hottie.

mets are looking real good, except in the pen department, i'd be more worried about the nats, that got so many good young players, and that strasburg kid is a throw back player, mean angry and hates the other team and hates losing, a guy like this makes his team mates better and he has and harper knows he is a great ball player and wants to win because 19 years of his life he has dedicated himself to being the best player on the field and he will be. i'd trade anyone on any team for those kids.

We had a streaker run onto the field a few days ago during the Cardinals - Phillies game. That was fun.. censored, but fun.

Mets have been way better this year! I mean yankees did sweew them but I will admit they are doing way better then last year!

I'm a realist, I know the Mets aren't a great team this year but you are correct they have been way better than I ever expected, so far.

At the start of the year it looked like they had absolutely zero starting pitching. Now they look almost un-hittable.

As for the Yankees sweeping them. yeah, that always seems to happen. Tonight marks game one of the next yankees/mets series. I'd be surprised if this wasn't a sweep as well. Just seems like the Mets always choke when they're playing them.
