Standings

I guess you didn't look around very long. Standings, as stated on the top page, are located here, along with pitching and batting leaders in both leagues.

Please browse the site a bit. And especially read the text at the top and bottom of each page (such as that all posts are moderated - therefore you don't have to post the same question four times - I'll get to it when I get to it). You'll find pretty much everything you need.

I would like to note that, due to time constraints and other things going on, I can't always enter the scores in a timely manner. With my parents currently visiting me, for example, I've fallen a few days behind.

If you can read Japanese and timeliness is important to you, I'd recommend Yahoo Sports Japan.

Hope this helps.

Don't administer a web site if you're not interested in making the visitors happy, dude! People do expect! That's it!

And by the way, I definitely understand the question of that guy since the navigation on the web site is not convenient.

Best.

I'm well aware that navigation could be better. That's on my TODO list (but data entry takes priority). I admit that no matter how good I am with the technical aspects, I'm poor when it comes to the user interface. I prefer a command line to a graphical user interface for getting real work done on computers. [I helped a neighbor setup his ASDL modem last week and it was the first time he'd ever seen the command prompt on his machine. MS-Windows - had to wash my hands after.]

What I would really appriciate is some constructive suggestions on how that can be accomplished. How would you layout the site for better navigation?

Japanese standing are updated in English very soon after games are completed every day by Kyodo available through Yahoo Asian News. However, this page has lots of Kyodo new stories contributed continually, so you may have to go to the bottom of the page and click on "more..." (and then do the same thing on the next page, and the next page), but you should find daily updated standings and also an article or two of Japanese baseball news/results.

Both the Japan Times and Yomiuri Shimbun have English-language web sites with sports coverage. The Japan Times provides short recaps of the day's games as well as standings, and it is always worth a look there to see if a feature story on NPB has appeared (usually by Wayne Graczyk).

Cedric,

You can read the scores and daily standings on the Sports Section of the Japan Times on line.
