[Butterscup1679666578]

Holy hell I'm not even close to the leader.

[CubsInNC]

Not that it makes much difference, but by my calcs, I have 14 instead of 13.

 

But, I'm no math major.

[Derwood]

And I have 15, not 14

[Andy]

Apologies to you two as well as a couple more - as well as Frank Thomas for not counting his homer. :P

 

Now correctly updated.

C'mon, i think that homer is Frank's only hit this year! (he's batting .080 :shock: )

 

Nice that I have 3 players with 0 homers. That helps

[soccer10k]

Can somebody upload the spreadsheet they are using to do this? I'm too lazy to create my own.

[Marco4]

I'm doing a new-look one, actually, to make it easier. All the doing is done, but I'll update the scores to include tonight's games. That'll be (my) tomorrow morning.

Awesome. Thanks.

[CubsInNC]

Marco,

 

If you need a webhost other than a rapidshare, I can host for you. Can create you the sub accounts, etc, so you can upload directly.

[Marco4]

Right, I think I'm up and running. If anyone's about that's been keeping up-to-date, I have XZero on 31 and UBlink on 10 at the top and bottom of my chart - is that about right?

 

If it is, I'll post it up; CubsIn NC, I don't know what sort of take up there'll be on the downloading front, but if you PM me, we can discuss bandwidth, that sort of thing.

[Laura]

If you let me know the current link (once it's up), I'll edit it into the first page posts for both the Discussion Thread and the HR Derby Entry Thread.

That was the case last night, I think. Now I have XZero at 35 on top and HawkCub and ublink at 13 at the bottom, if that helps.

[Marco4]

That sounds right then.

 

Just going out for a bit, I'll enter yesterday's homers when I get back, and then upload to a free site - just so people can get hold of it.

[Marco4]

I've got Hawkcub and Ublink on 12 at the moment. I'll look into that - see what problem I've got.

[soccer10k]

Are there any updates on the contest? Any updates on uploading an excel file as well?

[Marco4]

I was away for most of the weekend, and couldn't trace where I'd gone wrong before I left. I'll put up some rough updates tomorrow morning, and then, seeing as I've got the week off, try and find where my problem is on the spreadsheet.

 

Suffice to say, a lot of people are looking a lot healthier after Pujols' exploits eariler today.

[soccer10k]

Oh yeah. Pujols was huge today.

[Andy]

Well, I might as well update again while we're waiting on Marco's uber-spreadsheet :)

 

And make sure to double-check, because there's a decent chance I'll have screwed somebody's up.

**NOW UPDATED THROUGH EARLY GAMES OF 4/17**

Edited April 17, 2006 by Andy

[soccer10k]

ndistops, I made my own spreadsheet and I got a few different from you. I'll recheck mine tomorrow if you want to do the same, but I'll list the people that I had different from you. The numbers next to the name is the number of HR's I calculated.

 

Serena - 42

 

hawkcub - 19

 

Treeman - 31

 

Dobson - 28

 

CubsinNC - 31

 

bukie - 39

 

HHHBK21 - 25

 

MrWood - 34

 

Scott G.F. - 32

 

Marco4 - 31

 

SouthSideRyan - 35

 

Pistolcub42 - 34

 

TrueBlueCubFan - 40

 

Let me know if you check yours or not and I'll do the same. We'll get this thing right eventually.

[Derwood]

29 is right for me.

 

I know it's early, but I believe I made some mistakes in my choices:

 

Fielder instead of Thome :x

Adrian Beltre ](*,)

Chipper Jones #-o

Frank Thomas :oops:

[Bull]

Don't feel bad. Fielder is a late season choice anyway. Beltre and Jones should pick it up. Thomas...uh... Yeah, so Jones is good.

 

I picked Milton Bradley...doh.

[Laura]

I like soccer10K's version better. :D

 

 

Some discrepencies may be due to people who edited their selections after initially posting them. If anyone went through and tallied who selected which hitters before the thread was locked, people may have changed their choices before the deadline.

[XZero771679666304]

I counted 46, not 45.
