tree is the basball whisperer right now.

[Clem Fandango]

Not a cellar dweller this year! I used the clever at strategy of picking guys who actually hit home runs this time around

[Ding Dong Johnson]

is it bad that when looking for my place in the standings I started at the bottom?

[PackLandVA]

I would like to propose a small change in the standings, kinda like it's done in golf. Note the ranking/position:

========================================

-- Snipped --

 

I started doing it this way last year, and this first scoreboard this season, was just to get something out there without putting to much thought into it.

It will be changing as we go.

[PackLandVA]

Cool! And thanks for taking the time each week to sort thru all the stats!
