    Doug Fister of the Tigers just set an American League record 9 straight strike outs. Kind of surprised that the record was only 8...

    Attended R.A. Dickey's start today, even though the Mets are 72-84, seeing him get that 20th victory was a cool atmosphere and that Travis Snider catch might have been among the best I've ever seen.

    Standard for a Cubs fan to talk about attendance. But I guess that's the argument you have to go with when your team hasn't won in 104 years.

    The Sox fans argument has always been, cubs fans are idiots for showing up and supporting a bad team. Fair enough argument, and I think we finally saw a little of that this year in an attendance decline on the north side. However, if you are only going to draw 18k the last week of the year when you are a game out of your division lead, why even have a team? If you aren't going to show up then, when will you?

    Never my argument that Cubs fans are dumb for supporting a bad team. Their stadium is a tourist attraction so they are always going to draw well. I just point out 104 years and the argument usually ends there.

    I completely agree with the attendace thing for the Sox. 18K last night and the games earlier this week was pathetic. The Sox have never had issues drawing crowds when they are in contention. The fact that they couldn't draw decent crowds with the division on the line this past week is really alarming to me as a Sox fan. I went to 7 games this year. I did my part.

    Went to 7 cubs games this year (only 2 at Wrigley) so I did my part. THEY however did not, as they went 0-7 in those games. :fp:

    spanning 1994 and 1995, the Mets had a seven-game losing streak in games I attended and in 2005, the Yankees lost their first seven games I saw in person.

    nice to see DC finally able to fill their stadium. only took them 6 months to realize they have a good team.

    atlanta is known as the worst sports city in the US. any time you finish behind them in attendance, you know you have a shitty fan base.

    he's gotta win AL MVP (no offense to Trout). I wouldn't mind seeing him win triple crown. What happens if he and Hamilton tie in homers, does that still count towards the triple crown. I would think it would.

    Yep. A tie still counts toward the triple crown. He's ahead by one as of right now though. Miggy wins MVP hands down.

    Would be something if they take the next 2 from TEX and win the division. Hoping for a NY TEX one game playoff, but it'll probably be OAK BAL. The sooner NY is out the better.

    I totally agree. Let him face clemens in indy ball.

    Also, the people who think cabrera should win MVP over trout are smoking too much dope (if there was such a thing :D ). Cabrera is a great hitter, trout is a great player
