PHOENIX -- The Los Angeles Dodgers sat in their visiting clubhouse,
staring at the big-screen TV, and couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Seats. Lots and lots of seats. Most of them empty.

Here were the Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers, tied for the American
League wild-card lead, and a crowd of only 10,786 was on hand at Tropicana
Field.

"We kept looking at the stands, and wondering where everyone was," says
Dodgers outfielder Carl Crawford, a proud alum of the Rays. "Man, this is
a big game. And you look at the stands and no one was there.

"You get used to it, but at the same time players like playing in front of
fans."

Don't tell Lew Wolff, owner of the Oakland Athletics, who will never get
used to seeing his home park deserted, particularly when his low-revenue
franchise is on the verge of clinching its second consecutive AL West
title.

Oh, sure, it was nice Tuesday when they put their Division Series tickets
on sale, Wolff says, and the opening night was sold out in 10 minutes.

But where is everyone on many of the 81 nights of the regular season?

"There is something wrong here," Wolff told USA TODAY Sports. "You would
think that with our lead, people would want to come out, count down the
magic numbers, and all that stuff.

"Even if you're not a loyal fan, you would think this time of year, where
the teams are in the standings, and where every game means something,
people would come out."

The A's just came off a three-game sweep over the Texas Rangers in
Arlington, Texas, padding their AL West lead to 61/2 games, and returned
home Monday night to a crowd of 14,629.

Maybe you'll rethink your support for Obama's economic policies and your
encouragement of illegal immigrants who could give a flying fuck about
baseball.

Illegals have other priorities. Like raping your wives and daughters,
killing you and stealing your possessions, taking your job, your home and
your country.

Barack Obama, reelected by the dumbest voters in the history of the United
States of America.

Eric Holder, racist black murdering United States Attorney General, still
has his job.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat criminal, accessory before and after the fact to
improper vetting of Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama, a confirmed
felon using SSAN 042-68-4425, belonging to a dead man.

Obama ignored the brutal killing of an American diplomat in Benghazi, then
relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder
in order to cover up his own ineptitude.

Obama continues his goal of disarming America while ObamaCare increases
insurance premiums 300% and leaves millions without health care.

Obama backed the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt prior to their removal for
failing to represent the people and constitutional violations.
