MLB Baseball Contest... Beat DiMaggio's Streak of 56.

[teedubya]

Do you know baseball? Can you pick a hitter who will get a hit today?

for 57 days in a row? If so, you can win 100,000 cash money.

Each day on which an MLB game is played during the Contest Period, you must select one (1) player from a list displayed on MLB.com. If you fail to select a player for any day of the Contest Period on which a game is played, your streak will reset to zero. The list of available players may change as a result of injury or other roster changes, so be alert. You will be able to select any player from the list who is on a MLB Club's active roster on that day. You will have until five (5) minutes prior to the start of the first MLB game being played on that day to make your player selection for that day; however, you can make your daily player selection up to seven (7)-days prior to any game day of the Contest Period. MLB.com's computer shall be the official clock of the Contest.

Pretty cool idea. I'm doing it.

[RJ]

Cool, looks like fun. Thanks.

[teedubya]

Tomorrow, I got Ichiro Suzuki.

[Thig Lyfe]

I have J.J. Hardy of the Brewers for tomorrow.

[teedubya]

Ichiro got a hit.

Hitting streak of ONE! Did Hardy get a hit?

[gblowfish]

I'll take Alex Gordon.





Oh...







I thought you said "Hit by a pitch 56 times."

My bad.

[Thig Lyfe]

Ichiro got a hit.

Hitting streak of ONE! Did Hardy get a hit?


They're in L.A. so they haven't started yet. This is going to be a fun way to stay interested in baseball this season.

[teedubya]

tomorrow I have Mark Teahan... gonna risk the streak with a Royal.

Every other day, I will go with a Royal. I'm brave, bitches.

[Thig Lyfe]

Dammit... Hardy is 0-for-3

[teedubya]

Maybe your streak will start tomorrow?

[Thig Lyfe]

Maybe your streak will start tomorrow?

I have Ken Griffey, Jr. for tomorrow!

[ChiefFan31]

Hmmm, that does look pretty cool. Challenging to say the least.

At first clicking on the thread, My thoughts were no way (for a ballplayer to do that) 56 game hitting streak is nothing short of incredible. It is unpossible to beat that.

[Prince22]

I'm taking Youkillis

[Dartgod]

Neat idea. I took Justin Morneau vs. the Rangers tonight.

[L.A. Chieffan]

I'm taking Youkillis
You took my guy.

[Thig Lyfe]

Griffey went 2-for-3 with a homer. Very nice! The thing is, the site still shows my current streak as 0... hopefully they update eventually.

[Thig Lyfe]

Tomorrow I'm going with the safe pick of Ichiro vs. Tampa just to get the streak rolling.

[teedubya]

Teahan got a hit for me.

2 hit streak... watch out DiMaggio


tomorrow, Im going Chase Utley.

Day after.. I pick Estaban German, if he starts. He is 4-5 lifetime against Jeremy Sowers.

[kcxiv]

Take Ichiro, Arod and Jeter, and you will be a winner, just mix it up, and you got a damn good shot.

[SPchief]

1 hit streak going. Took Dejesus yesterday.

[Thig Lyfe]

Nice... Ichiro got a hit in his first AB.

I'm going with Teahen tomorrow.

[teedubya]

Chase Utley was 3 for 5.

so I have 3 game streak now.

tomorrow Esteban German... he is 4 for 5 lifetime vs the pitcher tomorrow... and I have to go with a Royal every other day.

[noa]

I chose Travis Hafner tonight. I figured he was a sure shot. :banghead:

[teedubya]

estaban 4 for 4. heh.


tomorrow, im going for Beltran.

then, another Royal. I may go Alex Gordon, just for shits and giggles.

[teedubya]

Take Ichiro, Arod and Jeter, and you will be a winner, just mix it up, and you got a damn good shot.

add Chase Utley and you got a winning combo.

[Thig Lyfe]

Damn. Teahen went 0-for-3.

Time to pick Griffey again to get the streak started!

[Hydrae]

Derek Lee with a hit in the 9th to get me a start on the winning streak!

[Thig Lyfe]

Nice... Griffey got another two hits tonight. Looking for Youkilis to get it rolling.

[Thig Lyfe]

Griffey, Youkilis, Ichiro, Brian Roberts and now Miguel Tejada have me on a 5-day streak.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Youkilis has been BALLA for me this year.

[Hydrae]

7 for 7 so far (probably just jinked myself of course)

5/30
Eric Byrnes vs. 2-for-4

5/29
Miguel Tejada vs. 2-for-5

5/28
Ichiro Suzuki vs. 1-for-5

5/27
Eric Byrnes vs. 2-for-5

5/26
Chris Young vs. 1-for-2

5/25
Derek Jeter vs. 1-for-4

5/24
Derrek Lee vs. 1-for-4

[noa]

I have a good streak going just picking players facing the Royals when possible.

[Thig Lyfe]

Shit. Ichiro gave me a 6-day streak yesterday, but I forgot to pick anybody today.

I suck.

[Coach]

Interesting.
