Quote of the day
"On a scale of 1 to 10? It's pretty high. And that's just being truthful." -- Houston manager Brad Mills, after the Astros beat the Cardinals 5-1 for their first win of the season

Daily blurb
When scanning through the MLB scoreboard page at ESPN this morning, the recap link for the Texas-Cleveland game said “Huff, Choo help Indians top Rangers, snap skid” My first reaction was to respond, “Gesundheit!”

If the blurb page looks a bit different today, it’s because I resequenced the menu items on the left panel, moving baseball up, and dropping hoops to the bottom.

But today’s developments are not merely cosmetic. I’m also announcing the release of a new tool that I think will eventually develop into one of the most popular and versatile RotoGuru “inventions.” This is a program that displays a listing of all player’s stats – updated in real time – for the day. Players are listed alphabetically, so every player who has appeared in a game or lineup will be shown – along with his stats for the day – in one convenient, concise page. The format is designed to be compact enough to be useful for those who access it via PDA or cell phone as well. Currently, this program is considered in “beta version,” which means I’m pretty sure minor glitches will crop up, and additional enhancements will be added. For the URL, more details, and an opportunity to provide feedback, please visit this thread at the baseball forum.
