The local paper that does not have a beat writer for the Texas Rangers featured a column this morning from one of their sports columnists bemoaning the fact that the Rangers are playing great baseball, but are only 14th in attendance.
I guess when your schtick is to bitch about things, and the team is playing so well you don’t have anything to bitch about in that regard, you have to try to find something.
I’m not going to link to the column, but as T.R. Sullivan noted, 1) school just let out, which usually results in higher attendance, and 2) the bump in attendance usually comes after a successful season, not before.
