The Chicago Sun-Times batting order

Taken from postings on the SABR-L listserv, check out how the Chicago Sun-Times runs boxscores online.

Good thing for the Cubs that their pitcher's last name started with a Z. But when David Aardsma appears, I suppose he becomes the leadoff man.

All I see is a line score. Is the Firefox popup blocker keeping me from seeing what you're telling me to see?

There will be a popup, but you should be able to see the whole boxscore.

Must have been a temporary glitch; I see it now.

It's idiotic.

I gotta believe that somebody inadvertently hit a "sort" key before they published that. 100+ years of box score format guidelines defenestrated by some intern!

They wanted a box score with attitude. It's edgy, it's "in your face." We're talking about a totally outrageous paradigm.
