The Primer Chimp is Back!
The Primer Chimp has just returned from a relaxing incarceration stay at an undisclosed location. He asks that you be patient with him as gets used to completing the terms of his parole all the new things Jim wants him to do. He apologizes for messing up the pitcher’s links on his first day back. Unfortunately, he is a lazy chimp and posted the links contained within bbref.com’s RSS without verifying their accuracy. He has fixed the links and promises to pay better attention in the future. He will also ask his buddy, the bbref.com automaton, to change the pitcher links from relative to absolute so The Primer Chimp can get this task done without supervision.
Edit: I’ve already asked Sean to add the game time to the feed titles. I’ll ask him to put in a new line to separate the pitcher match-ups and to add current win-lost record for each team. He’s away at the SABR convention. I’m sure I’ll be able to get him to tweak things a little as soon as he gets back.
If you have any other suggestions, post them here.

1. Banta Posted: July 28, 2007 at 12:28 AM (#2458251)Thanks, monkey!
EDIT: The monkey comment is directed at the Primer Chimp, not Jim. Please don't destroy me, Jim.

Yes, but these full form thread names in Game Chatter don't fit on my screen.

The pitching matchups being arranged horizontally instead of the standard vertical looks clunky, especially as it necessitates putting a word between them -- which, if anything, should be some form of "versus" rather than "facing." Also, I think the ages are unnecessary, and the time of game should appear somewhere. In short, something akin to NTN's basic template with the links added.

The format in #3 would be fine with me as long as I could see the time on the BTF front page, like I could until yesterday.
Oh, and whatever change was made involving the code button, can that be changed back? Not being able to make tables that align properly is really cramping my style.
Good timing. My finger was about two inches from the destruction button when I noticed your edit.
And to think, if not for your brilliance in adding the edit feature, I'd be a greasy spot on the floor right now. Your foresight has saved my life from a certain death at your hands. All hail Emperor Furtado!
