Players with names like "J.D. Drew" do not work with the new HR/SB code

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Any time you have a batter whose "first name" is two initials, then the
getHRorSB() function doesn't work right, because it looks for the string
"JD Drew" in the HR and SB totals instead of "J Drew", which is how Yahoo!
displays them in those totals.

To fix this, just change the code:
var hitter = columns[0].childNodes[1].text.replace('.', '');

to:
var hitter = columns[0].childNodes[1].text.replace(/.\../, '');
hitter = hitter.replace('.', '');

Quick and simple fix to a relatively minor problem. (Unless you have Drew
on your team, of course!  Then it's a HUGE problem!)

definitely agree with the JD Drew comment...huge problem if you got him or Mark 
Prior
on your fantasy team.  my buddy Simon went into an autodraft and got both him 
and
Kerry Wood last year.

this regular expression should do it: text.replace(/(.).+ (.+)/,"$1 $2");
saves the first letter then removes everything until it sees a space, and then 
saves
the last name.

the problem with /.\../ is that it will remove J and then the . and then D, 
leaving
you with ". Drew"
