MLB.com doesn't have stats in yet for their player pages, so I had to check the leaderboard. I'm hoping I didn't miss any.

[Shilzzz]

After Day 2, Mizzou leads with 9 homers. TrueBlueCubFan, Truffle, J-Shils, and myself all have 8.

 

woo-woo! swisher's going to kill me in the end.

[Derwood]

Damn you whoever picked Chris Shelton

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Kinsler!

[Andy]

After Day 4:

 

TrueBlueCubFan leads with 15.

J-Shils is 2nd with 14.

Myself, Truffle, Garwilly, and Mizzou all have 13 for 3rd place.

18 others have either 10 or 11.

 

So we've got a hotly contested one. :D

 

(BTW - Roast is the only NSBBer who picked Chris Shelton.)

[Marco4]

Bigger grins all round, folks.

 

Kudos to those of you who've been struggling with the sheet as it is, but I've now got a fortnight off for Easter and that's one of only three things I've got to do over that period.

 

1. Hoover my bedroom floor.

2. Do a 10 question quiz about the Chronicles of Narnia

3. Make the NSBB HR derby spreadsheet easier to fill in.

 

I know how to do 1 & 3, and I went and bought a barrel-load of books today to hinder my progress with 2. I'll keep you all informed.

[Derwood]

I have 8 HR with about 1/2 my guys with a goose egg early

Edited - XZero's B-1 read 924 in the spreadsheet (non-existent) instead of 24 (Pujols). Also edited to record Serena's prior switch from Hermida to Thome for her bonus player.

Not to nitpick, but I have at least 17 after a quick tally.

[Andy]

Standings are now correctly updated. It seems there was a slight typo in the spreadsheet that had XZero receiving credit for the homeruns hit by a non-existent player 924 rather than 24 which was Pujols. :P

:shock: That might have made a difference in the longrun... :lol:

 

I have a bad feeling Helton is going to let me down though.

[Marco4]

I did admit there may be errors.

 

Cheers for picking up on it, XZero.

[Derwood]

why am i down for 7?

 

Pujols=3

Delgado=2

Blalock, Thomas, Ortiz=1 each

 

Total=8

[Marco4]

I have you down as the right players, Derwood, on the original (just went back and checked your entry). :-k

then something on your spreadsheet isn't working right. I'm not sure where I'm at starting Sunday now with Fielder getting one last night. I'll re-add and see what I come up with

[Marco4]

Let me know, I aim to have my finalised (all singing and all dancing one) spreadsheet ready for this evening's game - I've been back and taken all the data again, so it should have it right.

 

Ed - I have you for 10 now (before Sunday's games).

[Derwood]

and........Chipper Jones is injured ](*,)

[Marco4]

:lol: - You're one of about 15 suffering from that problem.

[Andy]

I broke 20 today!

[srbin84]

I entered and I'm not on the update list.

[Andy]

I entered and I'm not on the update list.

You have 13, sorry about that...especially since you're 2nd from the bottom on the update list I can't believe I missed you. Hopefully I get the kinks of this thing worked out in time for tomorrow night's update list.

[srbin84]

Thanks, no prob.

[Derwood]

Beltre, Blalock and Thomas are killing me. I have to hope some of you other people have bigtime entries on your lists!
