In the other streak game, I've amazingly hit on back to back soccer picks today (Saints be praised!). Going with 2 more soccer picks to wrap up the day...may as well stay on the ball.

^^^^That scares the hell out of me. I picked a soccer game this morning because my 4 streak got busted yesterday and I walked away with the victory, just to turn around and lose it on another baseball bet. I would not be able to pick 4 soccer games in one day however so props to you if you can go 4 for 4. I would not have been able to get 2 right lol.

^^^ Word, I only pick soccer out of desperation....

Personally my goals,playing streak for the cash....Most wins per month,(and still have a good winning percentage) With the longest streak....I seem to do ok with wins the past couple of months,and done ok with the winning percentage,but just can't get a very long streak...

I also tend to hit a little spiral near the end of each month...Win one, Lose one,Win one,Lose 2,Win one Lose 3,Win one, Lose 4...Type of spiral...

In Beat the streak, I've got Kinsler going tonight for Lucky 7's baby! Cheesy

Streaky side story... If you look on the overall leaderboard for this game today, you'd note that the longest current streak is 37. The next highest is 34, and it slowly works its way down the list. If you get to the #8 spot, there is a sight to behold. Pretty much all of the people on the leaderboard have dominant A-list hitters as their selection today. Guys like Adrian Gonzalez, Ryan Braun, Zimmerman, Pablo Sandoval, etc... All except for #8, that is. #8 is an entry named "finelin33," who currently has an amazing streak of 27 going. Today, finelin33 is risking that amazing streak on...

Xavier Nady

That's right, Xavier effin' Nady.

So I ask you...can you imagine having a 27 streak going and clicking the select button for Xavier Nady? I have a vivid imagination, and I cannot fathom having a 27 streak and thinking "Yep, Xavier Nady...now THAT's my guy!"

I find myself wondering whether we're witnessing a man who has balls the size of Winnebagos, and antifreeze running through his veins...or a man with a vast swirling emptiness where his brain ought to be.

When you consider that:

* Nady is hitting .248 this year as a part-time player, and
* 3 of his last 5 games have been one at-bat pinch hit appearances, and
* He's facing a pitcher (Worley) that he's never seen before...

...I might lean toward the vast emptiness theory.

One thing for sure - For the first time since he played for my Padres in 2006, I'll definitely be cheering for Xavier Nady tonight.  Grin

Isn't he on the DL with a broken hand now? I thought that to be the case and I thought he had been on there for at least a week or so if memory serves me correctly.

Either way no way in hell would I put my eggs and 27 games on Xavier Nady that's for sure!!!!!!!!

Woohoo....A box of Donuts.... Cheesy

I read Strokes Story,and thought....While I agree with not picking Nady,It might not be the worst thing,If he doesn't play...It's a push...It's risky.....Apparently He's still winning,he picked Nady yesterday and still has a streak of 28....

The last three night have been hell...Freeman coming in late, Aramis luckily getting a homer scoring decision to not charge Chipper Jones on trying to bare hand the little dribbler and Holiday tonight.... Cheesy
