HR stat (occasionally) doesn't show for certain players

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm not sure if it's a bug with the script or a bug with the stats source,
but I've noticed at least 3 times now when Ken Griffey Jr. hits a HR, it
will show 1 R, 0 HR, 1 RBI in the stats. I've also noticed this happening
for another player but I can't recall who it was at the moment.

Could the parsing be off because of 3 words in his name? I'm not sure what
else it could be. Thanks for the great script, even if you're unable to
reproduce/fix this problem, it's still a great tool.

Also, in addition to HR not showing, SB appears not to show as well. Tested it 
with
Gary Matthews Jr.

Thanks. It's the same issue: the same function parses the boxscores for SB, 2B, 
3B,
HR, HBP, and SF. I'll try to fix it this week if I get a chance.

Also happens with B. McCann, since contains() is case sensitive, and Yahoo! 
likes to
spell his name as Mccann in the HR section.

Any fix for this?

Still an issue for last names with multiple upper-case characters.  Sample code 
below
can be used as a player-specific workaround.

The second and third lines are the workaround; just replace McLouth and/or 
DeRosa
with the players on your team(s).  I'm not 100% sure SB are still a problem, 
but HR
definitely are.  This is obviously an unwieldy solution, but it works in the 
short term.

    function getXBHorSB(type, playerName, document) {
    if (type=='HR' && playerName=='N McLouth') {playerName='N Mclouth';}
    if (type=='HR' && playerName=='M DeRosa') {playerName='M Derosa';}
        var nodes = xpath(document, "//td[@class='yspscores' and contains(.,'" + type
+ "') and contains(.,'" + playerName + "')]");
        var j = nodes.snapshotLength;
        var numStat = 0;

        if (j) {
            var statLine = nodes.snapshotItem(j - 1).textContent;
            //Remove everything in parentheses since that may create false matches
            statLine = statLine.replace(/\([^\)].+?\)/gi,'');
            if (statLine.indexOf(playerName) > -1) {
                var re = new RegExp(".*(" + playerName + " *\\d?).+", 'gi');
                statLine = statLine.replace(re, "$1");
                statLine = statLine.replace(/[^\d]+/, '');
                numStat = (statLine == '') ? 1 : statLine;
            }
        }
        return numStat;
    }
