anybody else getting in?

I guess no one else is interested in trying to get free season tickets to their fav teams games.

The contest seems like too much maintenance. I couldn't keep up.

what I do is pick my picks to click every sunday and just let it happen naturally, what the heck for a chance at winning WS or season tickets.

You can set it up for each week?

You can set up 7 games out.

Man, damn Brian Jordan didn't play again so I lost my 1 game streak... time to start over now :(

I've been playing this game off and on since the start of the year. I suck. My longest streak is 3. I think that I've had longer streaks of picking players that didn't get a hit. I'll try and join the league. It's free and fun. Can't beat that.

OK, I'm in the league now. My name is Beavers777. Anyone not pick a Rocky for today?

I've got Soriano today.

Meche is going to shut the Yankees down tonight. :mrgreen: (I'm a Mariner fan).

Not with the Rocket on the hill.

Roger is my favorite player but unless he decides to hit tonight, there isn't going to be anything he can do about Meche shutting down the Yankees. I'm hoping for a great game from both pitchers.

I got jim edmonds going against the mets, jsut in case you needed to know I am linedrive9 on there

clem has already given up 3 runs and it is only the bottom of the second

I went with Helton so it looks like we both picked winners.

Meche is was tough again tonight. Wonder if he's earned himself a slot for Etopps vote in.

the current hitting streaks in the league
linedrive9(me)------3

IggyWH-------------1

if your name isn't not the same as here can you please let me know who you are.

If you haven't signed up, there is still time. I would love someone from here to win the season or WS tix

I'm listed as rshann on there. I was 2/2 until Soriano yesterday.

gio-Check the first post on this page. I'm Beavers777. Picked Helton again for today. Can't help but pick someone going up against that Cincy pitching in Colorado.

oh yeah you are right I tried helton he sux good luck...lol

looks like I have a 4 game hitting streak pick hank blalock tonite and that helton dude is 0'fer so far

I'm back on track thanks to Vlad!!!

1 hit wonder...lol

Helton goes 1-5 but that's all I needed. Think I'll go with him one more time tomorrow. Cincy's pitching is horrible.

yeah I saw that, he got his hit like in the 7th inning. good job

I got a 5 game hitting streak now with Rocco Baldelli getting a couple tonight.

If anyone want to join, it is not too late, the season is still young, go to the 1st page and get the details with the prizes.


gio aka linedrive9

6 game hitting streak with garrett anderson going 1-4 today with a triple.

only 51 games to go to beat 56, I got my sleeper going tomorrow. hint never go with a catcher on sundays that is usually the full-time catchers day off.

MANNNNNNNNNNNN, I had an 8 game hitting streak going and then I forgot all about it and missed a couple game... THAT SUCKS!

yeah you were rolling at one point. Were you using diff players or what?

Yup, different players each time... they weren't all-stars either.

Iggy-
I had a 4-game streak going and did the same thing. Now thanks to NoMa I've got a 5-game streak going. All different players.

I am never batting furcal again, he has broke my streaks twice.

LOL......I vowed not to go with tiny little 150 lbs. wet shortstops from Atlanta.

yeah, but he was a long shot but is one of the league leaders in hits, so I took the gamble.

it is not to late to get in if anyone want in, the link is in one of my previous posts on the front page.

and look at the prizes you can win. like season tickets and WS tickets.

That's just me. I went with the 6' SS with the big nose from Beantown.

Mannnnnnnn, looks like I have to start from scratch starting tomorrow. I have the longest hitting streak in the division though :D
