Yes, I trust baseball team owners and their weasels implicitly. Prevarication is not in their DNA.

In other news, this stings:

“Amazingly, they also have the lowest payroll in baseball, at just $36.8 million, if you don’t count the deferred money they’re still paying guys like Carlos Delgado, Al Leiter and even Paul Lo Duca.”

I wish we could stop counting money to PLoD. That hurts. Bad.

Oh, David, you kidder.

fast-forward to 2013: “When I said that, it was based on our expectations of fan turnout at our stadium. We’ve fielded a competitive team in a great new stadium, but attendance has been disappointing and below our projections. We’re a small-market team, and in order to compete we had to cut payroll, which necessitated these trades. All we can do is put the product on the field. It’s up to the fans to support it and they haven’t done it at the levels we need.”

…because it’s always our fault.

Isn’t the MLB average for runs in a game something like 9.5?

let’s switch to, say, 12,222 plus a full 788 dogs for a nice round 13,000. Well, it’s round at least.
