The goal of Beat the Streak is to put together a hitting streak while making a run at baseball’s legendary hitting records. Choose one player every day who you think will get at least one base hit. If your player gets a hit, your streak is extended. If he fails to get a hit, your streak ends, and you can start a new one.
Be the first eligible participant to get a hit in 57 straight games and win $100,000 in cash.

If your player is involved in a rainout or postponed game, your streak will continue! On the morning of April 27, I had a streak of four games going. So I picked Miguel Tejada. Later that day on April 27, the Orioles game was delcared postponed because of rain. I was upset. Then on April 28, my current streak still said four games! So if a game is postponed, your streak will stay where it’s at.
What is with all the Ichiro picks? jetnyre129, terawaki, and yikesmoose all have him picked for today. Yes, Ichiro is a good obvious pick. But my experience with him is that he will let you down. I have an Ichiro curse. wells123 got struck with the Ichiro curse this week snapping her 3 game streak. Beware of the Ichiro.
The top three current streaks of twenty games and counting have the following picked: Juan Pierre Torii Hunter Ichiro Suzuki
everyone will let you down eventually
it’s nice to see that yikemoose has finally gotten above the two-game mark. Mark Teixeira got a hit last night extending yikemoose streak to three games. It’s quite exciting that jetnyre129 has a current streak of TEN games. I don’t think anyone in our league last year got ten games.
Oooh take316 (peter my cousin) has extended his streak to 3 games yesterday. His previous high was two games. I also extended my streak to four games. I am confident that Bobby Abreau will help me out today.
My five game streak ended as Mr. Pujols went 0 for 5 in a 10-3 win by the Cardinals. The Cardinals scored 10 runs, and Pujols could not get one hit? And it was a day game. Lifetime Pujols SLG at day is .641 while at night it’s .612. But I’m glad to see take316 (peter)’s streak extend to five games.
