Post-Season Contenders To Date

[NetShrine]

63% of the NL teams still have a shot at post-season.
Only 35% of the AL teams still have a reasonable shot at post-season.

What do you think this means?

Is it bad that 50% of MLB teams are out of it by June 1st?

Perhaps we'll need to look at total attendance at year end, 2001 v. 2000, to see if there's an impact? Perhaps even carve out the Expos on both ends?
