There did seem to be some "cheapie" homeruns over the weekend, especially to right field. Hafner hit one out to left that looked as though it was a routine flyball, but I'd wait to see how many game homeruns are hit at home, compared to away after the season's over. April is usually not a good month for long balls.

By the way, the Posada homerun looked like it was a case of fan interference. While the ball appeared to be on its way over the fence, I thought the fan reached over the fence and into the field of play before the fielder had an opportunity to catch it. As such, the batter should have been declared out. The call didn't affect the outcome in all likelihood.
