Reply #4: It's because they suck

[Onceuponalife]

It's pretty sad when a team hinges on the popularity/talent of just one player. Unlike the Dodgers lineup which has no weak spots.

All kidding aside, I think one of the reasons is that the "glow" of the new stadium must be wearing off. Every time a new stadium is unveiled, the fans sell out every game. But after a few years, if your team is no good, the fair weather fans lose interest and only the die-hards remain. That's a good way to judge how many loyal fans a team has. The same thing happened in Toronto after the Skydome opened. But now they're doing good again and the bandwagon jumpers are coming back.

*ahem* The Dodgers attendance is up and they haven't lost at home yet.
