Found these graphs on data between both leagues in the years using the DH. While there is increase in offense which you would expect to see in the AL over the NL that doesn't bear out in the statement more runs = more fans as the NL has more than held its own in fact leads in attendence. Intersting look though

Heading to Citi Field. Hoping the Mets don't get deBombed. Again.

I really enjoyed this, very cool.
Well, looks like Amaro figured out what's wrong in Philly.
It's not the aging team or the hapless spending or the desire to hang on pointlessly to the aging team that was haplessly spent on; it's the fans!
“They [fans] don’t understand the game,” Amaro said, according to CSN Philadelphia. "They don’t understand the process. There’s a process. And then they bitch and complain because we don’t have a plan. There’s a plan in place and we’re sticking with the plan. We can’t do what’s best for the fan. We have to do what’s best for the organization so the fan can reap the benefit of it later on. That’s the truth.”

Duh! We're just stupid to understand Amaro's plan! Keep following the plan, Amaro.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
"They [fans] don’t understand the game,”
This, from a guy who didn't know the difference between at-bats and plate appearances, who said that he doesn't care about OBP, who only began using analytics a year ago, who handed out the contracts to Ryan Howard and Jonathan Papelbon...and on and on...
He's such a fucking asshole. Philly was going insane yesterday over that.
Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
Twins sweep the Red Sox. I have no idea how many years since that's happened. I don't know when the Twinks will come back to earth but I am enjoying this run.

Syndergaard...more like, Synder-God! Another steller, 99mph fastball filled shutout. Hits the first Mets pitcher HR in nearly 3 years to the day; also vs. Phillies, to complete the sweep.

^ Life is good. Today...
I've got a bike you can ride it if you like
Watching Marlins/Mets. The pitcher just got beaned in the back of the head with a hit. He's still pitching. That looked like a concussion. Ouch!

So, I saw a clip of the Red Sox losing yesterday and got a glimpse of Sandoval running the bases. That dude is a fucking load and needs to drop about 50 pounds. He seems to be a bit larger than the last time I saw him.
Boy, is that team having some issues with the attitudes, too.
What a division. The Yankees lose 9 out of 10, win three against the Royals, lose another series against the putrid A's and they're still in first place.
"The White Zone is for loading and unloading only. If you got to load or unload go to the White Zone!"
Cheap is what the Yankees do, only 18,000 get the SGAs, esp so considering the ticket prices their fans are being asked to pay
Cards pony up for 25,000, which is important, as I typically have several choices to purchase on e-bay
Two more rings and another beach towel will find a home here from the 2015 schedule
Of course, and the gold is 14K!

Just teasing, Brian.

ESPN has made baseball unwatchable with that strike zone box there all the time.

I actually like it, shows how crap the ump's are.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Too annoying. Let 'em use it for the replays. Anywho, King Felix vs. Pineda in 1/2 hour and my boys have deGrom starting their West Coast trip in S.D. too. Gonna catch some South Park repeats before those games.
Edit- Both NY teams up 7-0 in the 7th.

It sucks, very distracting
I far prefer the "3-D" box after the pitch that can be rotated, surprising how few teams feeds have that - Cards do not, and don't show the "static" box enough for my taste
My patience has officially run out on Jason Heyward - for all the great signings and trades we've made, this one is a major wiff
He has 14 RBI in 174 at-bats so far in 2015, which projects to 42 RBI in 522 at-bats by year end.
I assume he's pushing too hard to try and make something happen, but he's been an over rated baserunner as well between caught stealings, not tagging up when it made sense, and getting picked off
I see a qualifying offer and a draft pick in our future, while I sure would like Shelby Miller back

ESPN makes every game unwatchable. Unlistenable, too. It's almost like going to TMZ for the news.
