But I could swear that wasn't on the screen I saw.

And it turns out that I've found yet another maddening inconsistency with the way this game works. Just like the league history issue I posted about above where you end up at seemingly the same page from two different links, except you get two pages that appear to be the same, but give you slightly different information.

You're right about the stats links from the manager home page. Now I want you to try the same thing from the team home page. There are the same (or seemingly the same) batting/pitching/fielding stat links on the right side of your team page. Now click on one of them. Tell me whether you see the black dropdown "select report" option. It's not there, is it?

It's stuff like this that makes this game hard to play. How could you have two separate links that appear to go to the same page, yet have those pages contain different information? How are these links just not linked to the same page - why even go through the hassle of creating a different page for each link? Just like the league history issue. If you don't go to the right one - and they both look the same, so it's just by trial and error that you'll find the one you're looking for - you can't easily find the information you want. And what's worse, is that you know you saw it on a screen that looks just like the one you're on!!! It's frustrating beyond words.

Anyway, my point was...this is the screen I was referring to. And I hope you can see the problem and my frustration.


Sorry I didn't see your post until this morning, but you are correct. I think I know why its this way. I think it has to do with the links on the home page being for on-line leagues that have websites they are posting the html pages to. Still doesn't make it right or sane though
