Spring Sprang Sprung

Hello--

1. The website was moved to a new server a few weeks ago. It turns out that the new server sucks. If you have trouble with response times from the website--or downloads in general--that's why. I apologize profusely and will be moving things over to a new new server as soon as I can.

In the meantime, I'd recommend never using dreamhost.com for your web hosting needs.

2. I have the stat tabulation scripts all set up for the new season, but won't be posting them to the database until each team has played at least one game. Until then, you can check out the 2008 box scores in the usual place:

3. Progress on the historical game-by-game database is also moving apace; I've got the data calculated from 1956 to 2002, and just need to do the last few years (for which the game log data is in a slightly different format), and then create an interface for the whole thing. As it is, I have teaching duties to attend to for the next week and a half or so, so all of that will have to wait until the middle of April.

Hopefully, you will be able to contain your excitement until then.

4. Go Twins.
