This is pretty great actually, nice job. I like single purpose sites like this.

Couple of things:

1) Maybe just show the box score instead of "click for details". Its not much detail, so it seems pointless to require the extra click.

2) Is it possible to see their previous games from this week? With MLB especially its easy to get 2 games behind.

Looking forward to you adding the other sports.

Thanks!

1) Are there more details that I should add? I'm hesitant to add more noise to the page, which is why I leave it hidden, but if enough people want it by default, I'll definitely change it.

2) I am storing the scores for each game I've captured, so it's definitely possible. I'll put it on the list of things to do.

I'd like to see a box score when "Show the details" is clicked. (As opposed to the line score. I note some are calling what you now display a "box score.")

what's the difference between a box score and a line score? Sorry. I'm not really a baseball fan. :)

Edit: Thanks to wikipedia, I realize that you want player stats for the game. The feed I get doesn't include them, so I'd have to use another source.

A box score lists the players and gives summary statistics for each player. A line score just gives scoring by inning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_score_(baseball)

I second the box score idea. Also, where are you getting the data?
