5.6 Million Dollar Prize to Break Dimaggio's Streak on MLB.com

[louisvillekid]

longest i've hit is 5

[yisman]

I guess I play for fun.

I know there's no realistic chance, but oh well.

12 is my streak and I'm passing on today (have to pick a player, but you can be shrewd about it).

[Jrod124]

My bro going for 21 today rolled with Ryan Braun

[yisman]

If I had to pick I think I would've gone with Carlos Gonzalez or Chris Nelson, facing LeBlanc. LeBlanc just isn't good, and he's only pitching due to injury.

[CreaturE]

How do I do this? I know nothing about baseball and wanna get in on this... Seems the people that don't know stuff can sometimes get lucky!

[Jrod124]

yeah yis I mentioned Cargo again, thats who he had yesterday. But Braun delivers he extends to 21 games!

Creature just go to mlb.com click fantasy and then 5.6 million Beat the Streak and sign up. That simple u don't have no anything about baseball to compete and it takes 30 seconds to update and u can do it 8 days in advance to something

[CreaturE]

Thanks Jrod! When I win, you, yis, and rm can all have a $100,000 share for showin' me this !

I just lost a 12 gamer because Hanley came back earlier than expected. I had Jeter selected for the next week, too. Set up well, but they bring Hanley back against Hamels. He goes 0/4 and gets pulled in the 8th. Worst part is right when Han-Ram was supposed to be coming up, I see "home run Ramirez". It was Aramis Ramirez.

Yesterday was too close for comfort anyway with Car-Go getting the hit later in the game.

Jrod, good luck to your bro. You didn't mention before now that he had Gonzalez.

[Jrod124]

man yisman that freakin sucks!

I meant I mentioned that Gonzalez might be a solid pick tonight against LeBlanc as we discuss the matchups each day. Got a good pick for tomorrow as he goes for 22?

[yisman]

well, don't take anyone on the Phillies or Marlins. :P

Now there's no risk because they have a popup if you try to select the players. That's a new thing this year.

Check on the wind in Wrigley.

No great matchups tomorrow that I can see.

[Ace_of_Spades]

Hanley sucks this season. Guy used to be a beast.

[rm18]

Bourn is the play tomorrow first time a home player has the best chance.

[Jrod124]

Bros streak is still alive, going for 26 with Jose Reyes today

[dovlon]

I took Jose the other day and he went 0-4.

[rochestertitans]

im at 2

[Jrod124]

Reyes get a hit in a dramatic 5th AB!!! Amazing guy is at 26

[BookieOweMe]

oh wow

[Jrod124]

Bros rolling with Carlos Gonzalez today going for 27!

Lets all hope Fausto continues to be terrible!

[yisman]

I'm taking Todd Helton today.

[ThaWoj]

[yisman]

Thanks for the link Yisman. One question though ..... How do you select a jumpstart pick ? and what does this mean exactly ...

[yisman]

hover over pick player

there's a dropdown that will say jumpstart

click that

select a player. that player will be your default pick if you forget to pick a day for some reason

[yisman]

I would not take Cust or Fielder for this contest.

[DemoralizdDreamr]

[rm18]

Jack Cust

[Galante118]

jack cust = ....

[nbarlotta3]

They have had this contest for years and no one has been able to do it.

[yisman]

Had Reyes yesterday, and took him again today. As far as I'm concerned, he's the new Ichiro in terms of reliability.
