Game Thread #12: Brewers (7-4) at Mets (5-5)

... (Yes, I know that makes no sense.  Basically, most of the home-field advantage in baseball comes from the strategic edge of batting last.  If the runs scored are projected to be so close, many possible outcomes will result in a tie game late, including those that go to extra innings.  So basically, the predicted score makes it a 50-50 shot, and the home field advantage gives the edge to the Mets.)

Game Recap: Brewers 9 -- Mets 7

TheRopolitansDOTcom posted 4/13/2008 from theropolitans.com

The seven runs and 14 hits picked up by the New York Mets was no indication of how they really played today, failing to get the big hit in the many situations they created.
