empty stadiumYour Texas Rangers play the first-place Tampa Bay Rays today at 11:30 a.m. local. You’d think a day game in Florida, especially one involving an exciting young team (Rays) and an MVP candidate (Jason Botts Josh Hamilton) would draw a large crowd. But did you see the game last night? I think there were more people at the Best of Big D party last year. The box score says there were more than 10k, which, if you believe that, I’ve got a Fantroy confession I’d like you to hear. FB/TRangers fan Zach in New York puts the over/under on folks in seats at first pitch at 500. I’ve got the under.

  2. If only gas prices weren’t so high, I wasn’t being chased by Pitbulls, there was less crime in my neighborhood, American Airlines hadn’t spent all my fun money and I didn’t have to work today… yeah, I’d totally be there…

  3. I’ll show up as a band-wagoner when these two teams play Game 6 of the ALCS.

  4. the “attendance” numbers are total ticket sales. so if you sell many season tickets and they are no shows they still count.

  5. Location, Location, Location – three most important rules yet the financial genuises who own the Rangers and Cowboys are clueless that nobody wants to go to Arlington.
