Piranha Bites: 46.10 - The Fickle Fans of Tripolli
Tripoli, October 22, 2046 - Now that the dust has settled on another season for the club, its second under the moniker "Tripoli Piranhas," it is time for a well-deserved slap on the wrist for the notoriously fickle fans of this baseball in our little town. It seems that when the team sucks, as was the case in 2045, our fans would rather go to the beaches.
2045 record: 66-96, 43 games out of first place
2046 record: 89-73, 8 games out of first place
That's right -- there are 10,000 of you out there per game who waited for the team to get back into contention before deciding to buy tickets. That's a ton of fickle folks. Some of us scribes use a different word that begins with 'f.'
There's rumblings the owner is not happy with locating his team in a city where bandwagon-jumpers number nearly the same as the devoted die-hards. He is quietly making inquiries into whether other cities in this region of the world might be more appreciative of a major league team.
Consider this a warning. Was it a good year? Yes -- our second playoff appearance in three years, and a solid core of youngster bode well for the future. Now's the time to snap up 2047 season tickets, to calm the owner and wipe away that nasty 'fickle' reputation. Time for fans to step up.
