Woohoo red stars everywhere! I used Az as a lead blocker,and got over the dreaded 4 win hump with Milwaukee's win over St. Louis....

(I still suck in Beat the streak)...When you have a streak of zero, a push is just as bad as a loss... Cheesy

Stroke,a word of warning, I read through the rules when we I first joined, you might want to rethink that Ryan Zimmerman pick...from the rules tab

Double-headers

In the event that a player you select (including any Jumpstart Pick) plays in a double-header, your streak will only continue if the player gets at least one (1) hit in both games in which he plays that Game Day unless all the selected player's plate appearances (one or more) result in a base on balls, hit batsman, defensive interference or a sacrifice bunt. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a player you select gets at least one (1) hit in both games of a double-header, your streak will continue, but your streak will only increase by one (1) hit for that Game Day, and not two (2) hits. NOTE: Except as set forth in the Suspended Games section below, only hits officially scored as hits in 2011 MLB regular season games will be counted as valid hits in the Contest.

Zimmerman would have to get a hit in both games....Take the second guy on your list... Wink Thought I'd pass along the heads up....

I'll definitely avoid using players involved in doubleheaders...but not sure what that has to do with Ryan Zimmerman. The Nats-Cubs aren't showing as having a doubleheader today.

Yeah, the Monday game got rescheduled for today, but it was because both teams would have been off today. No double-dip action, thank goodness.

It's actually pretty hard to sneak a doubleheader past me, as I do the Baseball Challenge game on ESPN as well, and any time there is a doubleheader, I load up on hitters from those teams to try padding some extra at-bats... Grin

I have tied my BTS best at 9 and yes I have Cabrera going tonight but I think of it as a positive for you my friend as opposed to a negative for me.  Wink  I guess we will find out tonight.

I did get my Red star in the ESPN only to promptly have my streak busted with my very next pick.  Angry

I made the mistake of not getting a pick in for yesterday, ending the modest little 3-streak I had. Then, for the whipped cream on top, the guy I picked for today, Kotchman, gets rained out. Yeesh...
