Hey stat guy, I noticed the forfeit vs Siren is listed as a win for us with a score of 0-0. This is incorrect. It should list as a win for us with a score of 9-0. In the event of a forfeit the winning team (us) should be awarded one run per scheduled inning.

Wanna take care of it? If you don't I'm pretty sure I still have the site password....

I suggest making the score 38-0 in honor of the Brill debacle from a couple years back.

It matters because we care about correct stats! If we're going to do something, we might as well do it right.

Plus, runs for come into effect with some sort of tie breaker don't they? Oh well.

Here’s why it matters stat guy. Let’s say you were a buyer for a company, and you were in charge of buying bags to put jerky in, and also buying dead cows to make that jerky out of. You order 9,000 bags because you know that’s how many bags 9 dead cow fills up with delicious jerky. When you’re done with this you mark down a win in the buyer column because you just did a stellar job with buying bags. When you mark down this win you forget to buy 9 dead cows, so under the win column where there should be 9 dead cows to fill up those 9,000 bags, you actually have 0 dead cows…

Now you’re just stuck with 9,000 bags and no dead cows and no jerky to fill the bags up with. If you wouldn’t have been so excited to mark down the buyer win, you would have probably remembered to finish the job and mark down that you needed those 9 dead cows.

This is why 9-0 makes a difference from 0-0….. 9,000 bags.

You could also stick your head up a bull's ass to get a good look at a T-bone, or you could just take the butcher's word for it.

Boom, lawyered.

I probably would have gotten the 10th cow for free or worked out one heck-of-deal, so now I have 10 cows, 10,000 bags of delicious jerky, all for a better value - so - I will change the score to 10-0, makes sense to me - and - I will add a couple stolen bases for free.

Might as well throw in some for Danny... we know he would have had at least 4 piggy back steals off Trav taking 3rd.
