August 1 1961
A 9-1 streak put the Bucs back in 4th with a 49-47 record but still 10 1/2 games out. The people are still coming to the park and it appears that total revenue will exceed last year's by a bit.
However I think its too late for a pennant push and so didn't do anything at the deadline. The most interesting players available in trade were usually pending free agents. So now its to hoping the fans stay despite the mediocre performance.

THIS must be a great idea. My consistent detractors didn't show up en masse to argue against it. They didn't show up HERE either.
