OOOOO, my answers are on Cetar's magic spreadsheet.



I didn't know if we were supposed to post there too. Thank you!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I filled that in this am but didn't finish up yet. I'll input your chagnes

[Ceetar]

MetsMarathon has some blanks there that were completed here, that I completed and I added Frayed Knot.



I also added the 'Actual' column and formulas to auto-score.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Thanks!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

EXCITING UPDATE! Thanks to space-age spreadsheet technology, we've tabluated results so far and with just 2 categories to go (first walk-off RBI and first pitcher to hit a batter) our standings are as follows. These results also reflect correcting an earlier accounting error in which the first "hold" was incorrectly credited to Wilson when in actuality it was Familia:



Transmonk 7

BMFC 6

Cal Sharpie 6

Frayed Knot 6

Ceetar 5

Lunchbucket 5

KC Mets 5

Ben Grimm 4

MFS62 3
