First time in a long time that Truffle hasn't held the lead.

[Southpaw191679666239]

First time in a long time that Truffle hasn't held the lead.

 

I was shocked too! I like to take smaller steps... so I'm only 10 behind you, Serena! ;)

[Laura]

Uh oh!

 

And Bay is helping you as much as me!

[TruffleShuffle]

First time in a long time that Truffle hasn't held the lead.

 

 

Actually, it's not:

 

A: A-Rod

B: R. Howard/D. Lee

C: J Bay/C. Delgado/ALfonso Soriano

D: Au. Huff/Frank Thomas/ Austin Kearns/Jacque Jones

 

WC Jim Thome

 

That equals 129 through today's HRs... not 148.

 

I also did scores... will post in a minute. They include HRs from today (Thome's 2, Murton, Walker, Pujols, Konerko, whoever else)

Southpaw, add in the following HR totals from today:

 

Thome: 20

Dunn: 17

Konerko: 15

Murton: 4

Walker: 3

 

 

Then we'll be on the same page and can figure out where the discrepancies are...

[TruffleShuffle]

By the way, nobody thought it odd that Scott G.F. went from 97 HRs to 137 HRs in five days?

[hawkcub]

I like Truffles numbers better. I am only 11 out of second to last place instead of 18. Either way I am doing my best to hold onto last place.

[soccer10k]

Truffle, My numbers are the same as your except I have karenmac at 126 instead of 125 and I have HHHBK21 at 99 instead of 98.

[Laura]

People caught some earlier discrepencies, but Scott GF himself seems unaware of his changing fortunes in the HR derby. I'm just very appreciative that people are posting updates!! :wtg:

I have a prize in mind for the Neifi Perez HR Derby Consolation Prize ... but I need vance's go-ahead first ...

[Southpaw191679666239]

I apologize for the inaccuracies. It's my fault for not thouroughly checking Marco4's worksheet. (I think that's whose it is) Anyway, I will be making sure everything is 100% accurate throughout the day, and hopefully we can clear this up.

[Derwood]

memorial day saw me break the century mark (finally). Pujols has about 24% of my total. Delgado, Ortiz and Thomas another 40% or so. I've given up on Adrian Beltre as a bad pick but Todd Helton is really pissing me off. You play in Coors you idiot! 4 HR is not acceptable!

[Southpaw191679666239]

I've double-checked 15 entries thus far, and have corrected 4 errors. I'll keep on pluggin' away and have this fixed for sure.

[CubsInNC]

I had a total of 4 on Monday bringing me to (by my calcs) 112.

 

2 of those are in truffle's updated list. my math off...?

[Outshined_One]

My calculations...

 

David Ortiz (14)

Adam Dunn (17)

Albert Pujols (25)

Jason Bay (16)

Lance Berkman (14)

Hank Blalock (8)

Jonny Gomes (14)

Shawn Green (4)

Todd Helton (3)

Brad Wilkerson (9)

Prince Fielder (9)

 

Total: 133

[Southpaw191679666239]

Having checked 47 of 57 entries and correcting 11 errors, I will be checking the remaining 10 tonight (after I get home from Wrigley), as well as updating the HR's from today's games. Then I shall post the updated standings, along with whose scores were corrected.

 

Is this cool with everyone?

[Laura]

Sounds good -- thanks for making the effort!

That works for me. I'll update mine tonight after the games are over and check it with yours.

Let me know if any of mine were wrong.

[Southpaw191679666239]

Entrants in RED had errors corrected.

 

Errors included wrong players, duplicate players, and Excel forumula errors. Hopefully everything is fixed now. If you notice a descrepency, please let me know ASAP.
