Around SBN: Fedor vs Rogers Results and Live Coverage

And now for some good news...

Teams that wear red are more likely to dominate in competitive sports.

Analysis of English league results since the Second World War shows that teams whose strips are predominantly red win more often, get more points per game and finish higher in the league on average compared with those who wear other colours.

Scientists believe the colour can confer an advantage in competitive sports because opponents subconsciously associate it with aggression and dominance, and as a result act in a more defensive manner when confronted with it.

Hey, you can't argue with science.

I don't know why this hasn't worked for us in the first 125 years of Phillies history, but I'm sure it'll start kicking in any second.

Angels, Cardinals... maybe it works for, y'know, well-run teams.
