Team-Standing Error Found and Fixed

On Tuesday April 15th, we noticed that the Team Standings page was seriously off. We traced the problem to a format change in our data source (why two weeks into the season?), and have made the needed fixes. We aren't sure how long this error was present, but not over a few days at most. Sorry.

New Web Site Up

I have gotten so disgusted with all the errors, misrepresentations, and outright lies being peddled--usually at the top of someone's lungs--about steroids and other performance-enhancing substances in baseball that I have created a whole new web site to deal solely with that matter. The site is:

Steroids and Baseball

http://steroids-and-baseball.com

In it, you will find not opinions or guesses, but hard, cold scientific fact, with copious quotations from and links to the established medical and scientific literature of these substances, plus unique analyses of stats, and expositions from experts on the ethics of PEDs in sports. Give it a visit if you want some truth.

Some Baseball PR

Those of you who have read Moneyball will have seen us mentioned in it. We don't, to be frank, get adequate coverage: the book leaves the reader thinking that we provided a one-shot service early on, whereas we were on board from the start of the "renaissance" and almost two decades more.

Alan Schwarz's book The Numbers Game will give you a better idea than Lewis's book of our participation in the "renovation of baseball".

These matters are touched on in the page on our qualifications to do this site.
