+Greenmonster
+============
+
+Greenmonster is a toolkit for baseball stat enthusiasts or sabermetricians to build a database of play-by-play stats from MLB's [Gameday XML data](http://gd.mlb.com/components/game/).
+
+The gem currently spiders games from MLB's servers. Over the season, I will be extracting pieces out of my toolkit to parse Gameday XML data to produce play-by-play database of MLB and MiLB stats.
+
+Usage 
+-----
+
+If you don't want to specify a download location every time you run the spider, you can set a default games folder location using Greenmonster.set_games_location:
+
+	# Set games folder location
+	>> Greenmonster.set_games_folder('/Users/geoff/games/')
+
+The spider utility has three public class methods: Spider.pull_game, Spider.pull_day and Spider.pull_days. 
+
+Spider.pull_game takes a game_id (the folder name of the game on the Gameday server) and a hash of options as arguments. If for some reason the game does not fall in the expected folder for the game's date or sport code, you can add those options to the arguments hash. Other options include :games_folder and :print_games (if false, game IDs are not printed to screen).
+
+    # Pulls MLB's 7/4/2011 Toronto @ Boston game
+	>> Greenmonster::Spider.pull_game('gid_2011_07_04_tormlb_bosmlb_1', {:print_games => false})
+
+Spider.pull_day takes an hash of options as an argument. Greenmonster will create subfolders by MLB "sport_code" (MLB games fall under 'mlb', various minor league games and non-MLB/MiLB games fall under other sport code designations), and then children folders for years, months, days, and specific games.
+
+    # Pulls all MLB games for today
+    >> Greenmonster::Spider.pull_day({:date => Date.today, :games_folder => './home/geoff/games'})
+
+    # Pulls all rookie league games for today
+    >> Greenmonster::Spider.pull_day({:sport_code => 'rok', :date => Date.today, :games_folder => './home/geoff/games'})
+
+
+Spider.pull_days takes a range of dates to process as an argument, plus a hash of arguments to pass to Spider.pull.
+
+    # Pulls all MLB games for in April, 2012
+	>> Greenmonster::Spider.pull_days((Date.new(2012,4,1)..Date.new(2012,4,30)), {:games_folder => './home/geoff/games'})

-Greenmonster
-============
-
-Greenmonster is a toolkit for baseball stat enthusiasts or sabermetricians to build a database of 
-play-by-play stats from MLB's [Gameday XML data](http://gd.mlb.com/components/game/).
-
-The pre-release gem is currently spiders games from MLB's servers. I will be extracting pieces out 
-of my toolkit to parse Gameday XML data to produce play-by-play database of MLB and MiLB stats.
-
-Usage 
------
-
-The spider utility has two public class methods: Spider.pull_day and Spider.pull_days. 
-
-Spider.pull_day takes an hash of options as an argument. The only mandatory argument option
-is to specify :games_folder, which is the local folder where you want to store the game files.
-Greenmonster will create subfolders by MLB "sport_code" (MLB games fall under 'mlb', various 
-minor league games and non-MLB/MiLB games fall under other sport code designations), and then
-children folders for years, months, days, and specific games.
-
-    # Pulls all MLB games for today
-    => Greenmonster::Spider.pull_day({:date => Date.today, :games_folder => './home/geoff/games'})
-
-    # Pulls all rookie league games for today
-    > Greenmonster::Spider.pull_day({:sport_code => 'rok', :date => Date.today, :games_folder => './home/geoff/games'})
-
-
-Spider.pull_days takes a range of dates to process as an argument, plus a hash of arguments to pass
-to Spider.pull.
-
-    # Pulls all MLB games for in April, 2012
-	=> Greenmonster::Spider.pull_days((Date.new(2012,4,1)..Date.new(2012,4,30)), {:games_folder => './home/geoff/games'})

-Requirements
-------------
-- Ruby 1.9
-- Nokogiri
-- HTTParty
-
-Testing
--------
-
-The test suite downloads a few days of data, so it is not fast to execute.
