The St. Louis Cardinals complain of "gamesmanship by the Brewers in the form of manipulating video boards behind home plate."

Is this a serious issue or a pathetic whine?

Here's Milwaukee-based coverage of the issue (in the Journal Sentinel):

Apparently, the Cardinals were unhappy about lighting inconsistencies with the ribbon board that surrounds the stands above the loge level. The insinuation was that the home plate area was darker when they were batting than when the Brewers were batting....

There have been whispers at times about possible cheating by the Brewers at home because they have been so much better at Miller Park than on the road. They are 40-14 at home, the best winning percentage in the majors, and only 21-35 on the road....

When told about that suspicion, Brewers rightfielder Corey Hart said, "Why did we wait until the fifth inning to do it? I was 0 for 2 by then."
