As I recall, I swerved like a drunken idiot between reasonable picks and wild-assed guesses...

6 in a row now.  I figure if I can pick one game a day and get it right I'll be a hundred-thousand-aire come September!

In the MLB Beat the Streak Sportschick has a nice 8 gamer going and I have a 7 gamer alive and well. I have Adrian tonight going for the BoSox to move my streak up to 8.

In the ESPN....yeah I suck.......that is all.

In beat the streak I'm having problems getting going....O-dog let me down lastnight....
Tonight I have Casey Kotchman,against K.C.....

The streak for the cash, I hate picking soccer,90% of the time I don't even know what league,and or country it's playing....Let alone have an educated guess of who's going to win. Cheesy

^^^^

I have the same problem with the soccer picks. I don't know didly squat about soccer nor do I care too as there are umpteenthousand teams from places I did not even know existed. Too hard to track yet I still find myself having to pick soccer matches when it gets to mid month and I need a couple of wins a day to try and catch the leaders.

Unless Vernon Wells pulls a rabbit out of his hat, I'm done at 8 - gotta love my past two days - DNP and rainout

The thing that kills me about my pick, I second guessed myself...I picked Longoria,then saw he was only hitting .225,and went with Kotchman

I loved the little "whammy-monster" graphics that they used on that game show. It also inspired the cliche' that pretty much everyone in my family uses regularly... "Come on, big bucks...no whammies!"

I'm rolling with the Yoda of Hitting today...Michael Young.  Start a new streak, I must!

Adrian came through for me to lead me to #8 now I have a no-namer in Gerardo Parra from the Dbacks tonight to tie me with my best streak at 9. Wish me luck. Also if the Phillies can go ahead and kick my Dodgers ass yet again today that would give me the Red-Star in ESPN as well.  Wink

Going with a new pick method...sorting all hitters by "most hits in the last 14 days" and then laying the BvP for this season and career on top. The one nearest the top that gives me the warm and fuzzies gets the nod.

First hamster on the wheel...Ryan Zimmerman tomorrow.
