Kenny Rogers hasn't had a CG all year. He's had like five total in the past five seasons. It sucks Yahoo made a mistake and these mistakes are more annoying when they accidentally tack on a HR or RBI. But a CG stands out and a CG by Kenny Rogers really stands out! How did you not check the box score? Oh well, chalk this one up to experience. :-D

Bingo.

Especially since it's so important. :-?

I'm in all roto leagues this year and I still check every single box score every single day. :-?

Exactly. I always check both Yahoo and Sportsline whenever I'm interested in the day's happenings.

Not really Yahoo's fault. They get their statistics from STATS, Inc. They don't do much other than dump the stat feed into a pretty layout.

When you are paying for a service like yahoo with stattracker, you'd think they could do a little bit of a better job than the sites that are providing stats for free.

Personally, I am done with Yahoo after this year. Stattracker has been horrible.

He's saying Yahoo made a mistake by giving Rogers the CG in the first place, as he planned his pitching strategy around that.

Shame on Yahoo and STATS Inc. for that boo-boo, and shame on OneLoveBoomer for not looking into such a rare occurance (CG) to make sure it was correct.

Big mistake by Yahoo. Very uncool.
