The MLB season is coming to an end, and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised at how well my Python XML to Twitter feed has worked. Except for a few hiccups at the beginning of the season, I never had to change, restart or deal with issues related to my Python script. The only major issue I didn’t deal with was double headers. On double headers, the final score from the first game kept tweeting out.

Here are how the five teams break out:

I didn’t promote any team in any way. I set up the Dbacks because I’m a Dbacks fan and wanted to keep up with games. I set up the Dodgers for my friend. I set up the Giants and A’s to see if I would get more Twitter followers from the bay area. I’m surprised at the relative evenness of followers. Obviously the A’s had a poor season and the Dodgers are in the NLCS, but those things considered they are pretty even.

I’m also surprised that teams that aren’t in the playoffs are still getting followers. I’ve only ever tweeted manually when I first set up each account. I do have an account setup for the Suns, but I’m not sure I will go much further. I could do all the teams in all the sports, but I’m sure that would get me shut down, and I really just wanted to get the Dbacks updates.
