Single-purpose design is clean and quick
From 3 comments
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…
qeorge on HNI usually just do this: http://www.google.com/search?q=phoenix+suns But I like how straight forward your approach is. It's a good link to send to a parent.

Upcoming schedule shows wrong home/away and next game
From 3 comments
The upcoming schedule stuff doesn't seem quite right. It says the Mariners' next game is "on the road" Saturday against the Padres. Their next game is actually tonight (Friday),…
scotje on HNPossible bug report. I like it, but I typed in Mariners and it said they play San Diego "on the road" tonight, but it's a Mariners home game. So either it's unclear that it's…
dpcan on HNI see the same bug. The site says the Phillies' next game is Satuday @ Boston. They are playing the Red Sox at home and their next game is tonight, not tomorrow.

Autocomplete glitches

Hard-to-find details link
From 2 comments
great love it ! but I didnt saw the "Show the details" before reading the comments. Maybe you can put it in red or underline..
bjonathan on HNI expected a story from show details. Definitely want a link to the full-story somewhere if the numbers catch my eye.

Requests
Add box scores in details
From 2 comments
I second the box score idea. Also, where are you getting the data?
dionidium on HNI'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.")

The World Cup starts next month. You could do something with that.
philwelch on HNWould love to see this for NBA. Considering we're in the semifinals right now I would've expected it :)
mr_justin on HNQuick, add NHL teams before the playoffs are over.

Add an RSS feed or API

What would be nice is a feed of Yes's and No's to go along with each page. Something like http://www.didtheywinornot.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/feed.rss to go with…
danramteke on HNthis site needs an api... although... hmm... it probably just would be middle-man for the api it pulls from... but all the same.. this site needs an api...
