Charts 05202008

Here are the overall standings charts.



Next, I was trying to figure out another way to display the large number categories like runs, rbi, K, etc. Number per week did not work out as you can see below for runs.


So then I picked percent of individual team total to the league total, and they came out nicely. So displayed below are the percentages for Runs, Homers, RBI, SB, W, SV, and K as well as the normal ratio charts for AVG, ERA and WHIP.

I had to switch the charts that will show the season into 3-D because you couldn't see anything on them in 2-D.

New manager

In case any of you were wondering what that new smell is, and judging by the activity level you haven't, it is a woman. Our once happy league has been breached by a pair of x chromosomes. Ray has decided he isn't ready for this kind of commitment in his life right now. I think he just saw the team that got autodrafted for him and he realized he had no chance.

Her name is Anne and here are some Anne facts;
-Favorite team - Cubs
-favorite player - Slammin(HGH and corked bat) Sammy Sosa, not be confused with Texas Ranger Sammy Sosa
-Least favorite team - White Sox
-Least favorite player - Bartman
-Favorite misplaced silent letter - h
-Strengths- Scrabble, turning a phrase, binge drinking, pong, poodle grooming, wedding menu
-Weaknesses- drinking tolerance, cooking, taste in men, starting pitching, and stolen bases

A Nate v. Anne drink-off would be more entertaining than 5 seasons of baseball put together.

One more thing just to clear a little bit of confusion you(Nick) might be having. Minor league stats do NOT count in this league. Adjust your roster accordingly and for crying out loud pick a team name that doesn't suck.
