On their homepage(my home Yahoo page) they show the FINAL score as Colorado 1
Chicago Cubs 5

When you click on the Final ---It shows the score as 5 to 4.

This happens with them WAY too Often!!

They are very very good for NBA boxscores that are quick and accurate during games. Baseball is weak though.

And don't bother asking them a question--they'll take at least 5 days to answer and told me once that I did not provide adequete details?? :icon_conf

I wonder if some of their staff used to work Offshore.


Amazing!!!!!!!

Nice line score

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E

Colorado 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 4 9 1

Chi Cubs 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 10 1



bad enough they give Colorado the 4 spot but where are the rest of the Cubs runs?

LOL....I thought that CBS sportsline was the king of inaccuracy, but maybe I was wrong.

Most of the play-by-play sites are notoriously inaccurate. I don't trust any of them for official stats and scores. If I need accuracy/confirmation, I typically check www.sportsnetwork.com as I've found them to be very reliable.

Too many of these are being input by clerks who know no players.:drink:
