Well let's not forget the Braves are a good team this year. HOWEVER it was almost packed and according to ESPN the average attendence for a weekday game is around 50 or 60% capacity. Today it was 86% according to ESPN so it's obvious that Strasburg continues to be a road show but either way that doesn't change the fact that the Braves are a good team with a strong fan base. Also for the record I am an O's fan (got to see Cal Ripken go 6-6 against Atlanta during his farewell tour).
Oh I know they are a good team, for right now at least, let's not forget they were sucking like us in the beginning of the season, hence the reason I was laughing at their fans.
They weren't 50-60% full when they were doing terrible, they just started showing up now that they are doing good, much like the Nationals 'fans' have been doing. As said though, most of those people were there for Strasburg, whether or not they were Braves fans.

Hate the Nationals pitching, but this offensive highlight radio calls cheered me up, maybe you too?
