A Request for Suggestions

The current format of relaying game results is getting a bit tedious and difficult to maintain. Plus, it will take a LONG time to get through the season if we take two real days to post the results of every single replay day.

I'm open to suggestions for what readers would like to see in terms of relaying game information. Some potential choices include weekly updates, simply posting the box scores and game summaries (you'll get more information per game - not less), or only blogging on the "interesting" games while keeping everyone updated on standings and leaders.

Any thoughts / suggestions would be helpful. Please feel free to comment here or to E-mail me at BaseballinDC@gmail.com.

Thanks.

Chicago finished with 11 hits in the victory. Paul Warneke(9-1) finished the game allowing 5 runs in the victory, which was still good enough to pick up his ninth win and build his case with the All Star voters to make him the NL's starting pitcher.
