We just have different standards, and I'm definitely a bigger baseball fan than most, but 15,000 on a Monday sucks when your team is 14 games over .500, playing for a playoff spot and happens to have possibly the most exciting everyday player currently in the game on your team.

But yeah, this weekend should see some fans, and I'm taking off work Saturday, so I'll be one of them!

That's fair and I can understand where you're coming from. But on the other side of the apex is that it is a school night for some families and some kids are already off to college as well. Plus, it is the Angels without Trout, which wouldn't get much of a draw.

Erceg just pitched 1 and 2/3 innings yesterday. He hadnt pitched since the 14th because we had an off day on the 15th, won 7-1 on the 16th, 13-1 on the 17th and so we had to get him in a game. It's really Long's fault that Erceg wasn't available. If Long doesn't come in and give up a hit, 3 walks, and a run all while only recording one out, then Erceg would have just came in to pitch in the 9th.
