Around SBN: Tiger Woods, Tony Romo Grouped Together At Pebble Beach

and we think OUR team hates our home park...

Myers was pissed about giving up homers on two pop flies...so pissed that he almost fought a reporter who tried to claim that the Kouz HR was well hit. This is what Myers had to say about the park..a little excerpt:

"I wanted to win that game. I lost on two popups," Myers said. "Sledge didn't even know where the ball went and it lands in the flower bed. What are you going to do? I fell behind and threw him a fastball in a good spot, good location. Popups go straight out of here."

Criticism of the park aside, Myers (2-5) couldn't get his team to the dugout with a tie score. Already frustrated at having given up home runs on balls he felt were fly balls, Myers lashed out when a reporter questioned that contention, offering that Kouzmanoff's ball was well hit.

Myers didn't appreciate it and he and the writer exchanged words, with Myers having to be restrained by teammates Pat Burrell and Antonio Alfonseca.

Yikes....things are not going well for the fighting phills.  So heres the question for all those who complain about petco park...

would you rather have a park where homers are extremely hard to hit or a park where homers are extremely easy to hit?  Both teams seem to be upset about their home parks.

How have we done in
small parks vs Petco type parks?  Does anybody know where to get these stats or have a list of which parks are hitters/pitchers parks?  I know we have done well at home, but everyone does.
