We’re Gonna Take This Sitting Down
Yeah, I’d Like To Report A Bug
By Matt Sussman | Apr 6, 2008 | Filed Under Baseball, Tech Issues
Dear Tech Support,
The last six times I’ve logged onto your website to check baseball box scores, it erroneously indicates that the Detroit Tigers have lost a baseball game. This is an impossibility, given that they have the second highest payroll in baseball, including players like Miguel Cabrera, Justin Verlander, Magglio Ordoñez, Dontrelle Willis, and Gary Sheffield. They played the Kansas City Royals and the Chicago White Sox, two of the lesser teams in baseball, at home. Therefore, there is no possible way, even perchance, that the Detroit Tigers are 0-6.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to Tigers website
2. Click on “Schedule”
3. Go to any game played
4. You’ll notice it says “Loss”
I’ve communicated with several other Tigers fans, who can verity this bug. Please correct this as swiftly as possible, as while the season is early and such a deficit is correctible, this bug only appears to be affecting the Tigers, as all other teams in the American League have at least two (2) wins.
Thanks in advance,
–Suss

Stuff I didn't write, but that doesn't necessarily make it any worse
TSN showed their Top Ten NFL plays from 2007. Two of them were Cleveland Browns plays. Josh Cribbs’ disaster-to-master return TD, and the one where the New York Jets forgot how to tackle Jamal Lewis.

Comments (0)So I’m watching some Olympic water polo match online (yes, I know) and it’s halftime. The song they picked? Why, the instrumental version of “Cotton-Eye Joe.” Not sure what’s more shocking. That they’re playing the instrumental version of “Cotton-Eye Joe,” or that someone made an instrumental version of “Cotton-Eye Joe.” Is this how all water polo matches go? ◼ NBCOlympics.com

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I’ll have to take a further look into this, but it does look very similar to a problem the New York Yankees had last year.
Have you attempted to reinstall the 2008 MLB season?
I could but I question the stability of OS MLB 2008. Could I downgrade to 2006 on this hardware?
Please be advised not to leave your Miguel Cabrera, Dontrelle Willis, Jason Verlander, and Edgar Renteria in cold temperatures. These products are not to be left in such extreme climates, as it causes their value to suddenly diminish.
