The game was on ESPNA over here.Nice reaction on Fielders face when he saw Johnson had caught it,i think he'd gone half way round the bases

Yeah, it was a nice gesture to tip his cap to Reed given that he'd just been robbed of 4 runs.

A little query, how is it that for eg last night some teams thumped others yet its a complete reversal tonight?

It's the magic of baseball!

Another win last night for the Reds on the back of scrambling some runs and great pitching.

I dont buy that


How can you win 10-4 one night then get dicked 9-0 the night after?

Because they are more inconsistent than Warrington?

....upto this year anyway, now its consistent losing

It seems to be most teams though sam

Another one was Rays cane the Yankees on monday then get caned the night after and bottom of 8th right now it 3-3


Hows a betting man supposed to make a quid or 2

Look at who is pitching, which teams are on winning streaks, losing streaks etc

Thats where i fall down, not sure of the pitchers

The rest i look at anyway, would you say home advantage is significant at all?

For some ball parks yes. Fenway park and Wrigley field are two that spring to mind. The two oldest ball parks in baseball that each have thier own quircks. Wrigley can be pretty tough to bat in if the wind is blowing in.

Some of the more modern ball parks just tend to be baseball friendly, so home advantage is not as big a deal as it once was. A couple of exceptions to that rule would be minute maid park, petco field and the Mets brand new citi field, each have thier own little tweeks that can help generate home field advantage.
