MLB Beat The Streak

[Brian Fein]

I don't know if any of you have ever played this contest on MLB.com.  I have been doing it for a few weeks, so I figured I'd make a group and invite people...


Brian has invited you to join the following Beat the Streak Group: TDMMC

The password to join this group is: marino

Beat the Streak is a free and easy game on MLB.com that challenges fans to put together a 57-game hitting streak and compete to win $5,600,000. All you have to do each day is pick one player who you think will get a hit. If the player gets a hit, your streak continues. If the player does not get a hit, your streak ends, and you can start a new one the next day.

Join this group and start playing now:

In to win....

[AZ Fins Fan 55]

I am in as well.

[Brian Fein]

I have a season-high 4-game streak on right now, but the standings don't show it.  You can make picks several days in advance so there's no need to log in every day.

Also, I recommend you set your "incase I forget" guy incase you forget to make a pick, it will default to him.

I just finished both thanks for the heads up.

[bsfins]

Wow, talk about a way to get a win...Brandon Philips...0 for 3 and intentionally walked once.....Bottom of the 9th,2 outs man on first...2 run walk off home run against the Cardinals! For the Win!.....

This is almost as frustrating as Streak for the cash,but fun!

[AZ Fins Fan 55]

My streak got busted yesterday because I had Ryan Braun and of course he doesn't start but he pinch hits in the 9th and goes 0-1. That kinda pissed me off if they don't start it shouldn't count, but whatever it's not like it was a huge streak by any means!!!!

[Brian Fein]

^^ If he didn't play it wouldn't have counted. but the fact that he pinch it, it counts.

I can't seem to get more than 2 or 3 in a row.  How the hell do you get 56?

[bsfins]

I got Bit by Braun also AZ.....I found out he was out, about midway through the Cubs game...Then saw I lost...

Go Adrian Gonzalez!

I can't seem to get more than 2 or 3 in a row.  How the hell do you get 56?

I was wondering the same thing....I guess if it were easy then the grand prize would not be 5.6 million!!!!

I think I have Konerko today......time to start a new streak!!!!!

[Brian Fein]

I have Konerko today too.  Seems like a solid pick.

I wonder if we all pool our resources, maybe as a group we can come to a consensus to build a streak and share the grand prize...

[bsfins]

I don't think I'd be much help in a group...I can't get past 3....I like the idea of taking a player that's playing divisional teams,if they have a good record against a pitcher they face a lot.I feel the chances are higher that they can at least get 1 hit....I guess that works both ways though too...

[Brian Fein]

I have a very particular strategy when it comes to picking guys.  Its not rocket science, and definitely not fool-proof.  It requires about 5 minutes of research each day.

[Sunstroke]

I'll give it a shot...what the hell.

[Sunstroke]

First bat for me in this game...going with Jacoby Ellsbury today. Hopefully it will be the start to a monstrously long 57 game streak.
