For several years, there have been stories about certain stadiums-most if not all domes.
That somehow air currents change-via HVAC or doors.
Said changes either help home team or hinder visitors.
Most of the stories I have heard or read, IIRC, are football related.

There was a base ball movie a few year back that seemed to have a scene that played off of the story:
Manager had lights/power turned off and called it a power failure.

Gotcha. I read (while trying to figure out what you were talking about) that they (MLB) have separate rules just for the Homer Dome re: balls hitting the ceiling and speakers b/c it's so low!

Either way, the tribe obviously didn't bring their "game winning strategy" (bugs or air currents) along with them to NY.:D

You're repetitive; it's annoying. By the way travis hafner is a gay rapist.

Ree, I'm insanely jealous. BUT, if they win this series, I have tickets for game 1 of the ALCS. Fingers crossed!

OMG the game was INSANE!!! It was worth losing sleep over. Fenway is so intense. I tried to get pics but our seats were kinda sucky for picture taking.

Have an AMAZING time at your game! The boys will have a few days' rest, which rocks. I think Beckett is pitching.

Ditto!!! :D I am very excited for the Indians!!

It was rude, but the poster is Rudey. Anyway, the Tribe won, the bloated salary lost, and Cleveland advances to the playoffs.

I just goes to show George can't buy himself a winning team.

Listen you're repetitive about the salaries. Just shutup about it. If your crappy team beat the Yankees why does it matter? Oh wait it doesn't, and you're using redundant lines just so you sound cool.

It's even more annoying that your name is "Benzgirl" and you're criticizing what other people "buy".

--Oh and you were so very clever and witty saying I'm rude because I'm Rudey.

To be fair, the Yankees won 94 games this year (the Tribe won 96 in a considerably easier division), and "salary cost/win" is a completely useless exercise because the Yankees earn more marginal revenue per win (and per dollar spent) . . . so yeah, it's not like the Yankees are a clearly inferior team, especially considering the crapshoot nature of short-series baseball.

Plus, this Yankees team really doesn't represent the "bloat" in the same fashion as some past units - two of their top-5 pitchers by VORP are making under 500k (and 4 of the top 10), as well as 2 of their starting 9 (who also happen to be quite solid contributors according to any measure).

Look, I'm a massive Red Sox fan and think the "Yankee mystique" is propagated by douche bags and half-informed tards - still, though, this is kind of a weird needling, and doesn't really fit with any sort of reasonable analysis.
