Since at least two of you experienced this, I belive it happened. However, when I updated mine this morning (0800 central time) there were no errors.
This must mean that at some point during the day/evening, the code that ESPN uses to create the standings page gets changed somehow. An extra line here or there can throw everything off. This could cause us problems all year but we don't have control over it.
I will look into possibly getting the data another way.

Guys what happened to all the "Gotta be in it to win it" posts? Now all you guys are bowing out and giving up on the Giants. Reach down and make sure you still have a pair and if you do play the Giants C bet.

I think it is a good thing to scrutinize teams before we include them in the system but, I think the statement that the Angels have shown life in their offense is a little misleading. Their bats woke up against one of the worst teams in MLB, the Twins. They are next to last in RPI and they are dead last in Cover's power rankings. I think the Twins make teams look good by being so bad, LOL!! The Blue Jays have taken 2 of 3 from both Seattle (12th in RPI) and Texas (1st in RPI). We have had two series sweeps that most of us bet on Detroit (pre-RPI) and now the Mets. We all seemed to have some worries about the Mets but, I still bet them. Looking back it was easy to see this team is currently garbage and we should have treaded lightly but, hindsight is 20/20. This Toronto team is not garbage and even though the Angels are winners of 3 in a row, it was against a much more inferior opponent. I, personally, will include Toronto in my series chases this week and if they get swept in LA, I will come back with my tail between my legs and apologize to everyone!!
As far as the Giants are concerned, I will also bet them for the C game. the Giants have only gotten swept once this year and it was the first series of the season against AZ. They were all 1 run losses. After that they have a win or 2 in every series. I expect the home team to pull out a win today. You can always bet a smaller amount on the Giants instead of the whole amount needed to win all of your money in the chase...just a thought.
Good Luck everyone!
