Various stuff
Fan Interest is at 88, I expect that to pick up as we near the post season. Mr. Marquis has no reason to be anything except very happy, as the club is hitting it's stride. It's ALL going to be about health this last month. I honestly don't know that my pitching can handle Baltimore or Philly in 7 games, but to do it, or have a shot, I need my A lineup healthy and hitting.
Attendance is at +19.6%, and we've already drawn 2.96M, with 18 home dates left. Our stadium holds 47.5, if we max out, or near it we could draw north of 3.75 million, even after increasing our tickets to 19 bucks!
Our payroll is still ranked near the bottom, and is going from 18.3 to 22.9 with 4 Arb cases (Potts, Ferrer, Pacheco and van Bodegraven). I have arms in the wings (though messing with the teams best asset outside it's offense feels wrong at this point).
