the favs won 9 of 15 friday night coming into sat play with a perfect 7 - 7 for the al/nl . it was a perfect 7 -7 home/away as well .
on sat the favs won 12 of the 15 games .. al 8 wins the nl 6 wins . home teams won 10 of the 14 interleauge games .
the 3 dog wins 365 days ago on sat were giants at home 6 - 5 over yanks (wang at morris)
bjays at home 11 - 6 over rocks (cook)
rangers 7 - 2 at home over oswalt .
these 3 home dogs won to spoil a 15 - 0 fav day . there were 7 home dogs in all .
so we had a big fav day as well as a big home team day this time last year on sat .
mean something ? never know ..
it was the same setup with 8 nl home teams and 6 home al teams . the al home teams won 5 of the 6 games . wsox spoiled the al home sweep losing to the cubs 2 - 1 (hill,vazquez) was a 1pm game just like tomorrow ..

funny how it is just in the air and things repeat themselves at certain times in the year , year after year .
the last week of every month it seems never to be a great time for the favs or the so called best teams . or maybe it is just me .
though coming off great weekends mon and tues have been classic bad days for me in the past , should have learned by now .
