Hey Barry, it doesn't matter how much speed your team has if you can't hit to get on base!! They are last in hitting!!

This KC team just gets the job done. They don't play for the HR. They just happen.
Rain delay didn't affect Singer
I hope the season ticket sales plummet if there aren’t wholesale changes next year.
But I think we underestimate the acumen of the Cincinnati fans. They didn’t turn out in droves for this series, even though they could have if they bought all this nonsense about the deds still being in this race. I think the sensible fans knew the deds would reward all the renewed interest and hope by taking hot steamers on the field for 3 straight days, which is EXACTLY what happened.
But fans or no fans, the castellinis aren’t selling this team. It’s still profitable. No motivation to invest more or to rid themselves of it.

I'm not sure season ticket sales matter a lot to this ownership group. I don't know how much they get from profit sharing, but it has to be a very large take. Otherwise there would be no Pittsburgh's or Cincinnati's left. That's even after paying the players salaries.
I think the attendance this weekend was pretty good, but they also had a concert on Friday and fireworks last night (I think).
OK... on to the "not so good" KC bullpen for 9 outs.
A chance to hit for 0-21 Maile and Bell leaves him in
All righty. Let’s see what happens here.
The rose goes in the front, big guy.
C'mon India.
What month is it again?
We scored!
3 walks gets a Run across
Maile hasn’t had a hit since June 24? Golly.
