Beat The Streak

[CoyoteYankee]

Does anyone play this on MLB.com? I just started but you can win up to $3 million. I thought maybe it deserved a thread so people can talk about their picks and their longest streaks and stuff like that. I don't know if this is the right place to put it. If not, feel to move mods.

Probably the fantasy section would be better? I used to play but I'd forget to make picks and wind up losing my streak that way.

Hmmm . . . sounds inticing. $3 million? I could use some scratch like that.

Yeah, I was thinking that too but that section seemed to be about the NYYFans.com league. Maybe I'm wrong.

I think actually remembering to do this for 56 straight days is worth something. I've tried numerous times, I always forget to make a pick after about 3-4 days

You can make picks a couple of weeks in advance. So you really only have a remember once every two weeks (as long as your picks are good).

It looks like the longest streak has been 49. The longest current streak is 32. There are a few people with 31 right behind that.

I was doing fine until my dumb ass picked Markakis to get a hit.

Never pick an Oriole.

JK -- But Markakis is a good player. It's not like it was a bad pick.

I've been playing this for the last couple of years. I think this is year 3 or 4.

Like others, I'd have a nice little streak going an then forget to make a pick. Usually the 1 pm. week day games mess me up.

I had a 7 game streak going this year until Jorge Cantu knocked me out. Then I left it alone for a week or two. Got a little 3 gamer going right now...Kendry Morales needs a hit tonight...

Did they change it? You used to only be able to make picks about 7 days in advance.

Last season, I actually had a streak of 37 in a row. Its really not that hard as long as your doing the picking without relying on the pick of the day. They game me a free months of mlb.tv.

I guess so. This is my first year playing. I think I made 14 days worth of picks on advance. Or somewhere around there.

[CoyoteYankee]

Woo hoo! I'm at 3!

[Beyle]

Oh, crap. I think I missed today's deadline.

[ace]

The first day I tried it, I chose Jeter and he was given that day off. I don't know if it counted against me or not, but I never went back to check after that.

[teknetic]

Didn't even last a day huh?

[CoyoteYankee]

Boy it's nice when your player gets a hit in his first AB, saving anxiety. Thanks Grady. Streak of 4!

Actually, I had a computer issue to deal with at work. I lost track of time and forgot to vote.


CoyoteYankee- You have to clear up some space in your PM mailbox. I tried to contact you.

Oops! Will do.

[Beyle]

Oops! Will do.

I will make my next picks this evening. I have to look to see who I want to choose.

I've never really gotten into the whole Fantasy Baseball stuff. There are just too many teams to keep track of.

Damn...the game ended up getting rained out so I didn't get credit for Grady's hit. Still stuck at 3.
