    MLB.com Beat The Streak Thread

    So I am guessing a few people are playing this as well?

    Today is my first day, pick is locked in for today. Going with McCutchen.

    Or just do this in the search:

    "Gaming Tailgate"

    And you'll find it.

    I'm not sure why I never did this to be honest besides the fact that I'm terrible at picking things and I'll be lucky if I ever get above 10 right ever in a row.

    LOL, I know a little but haven't followed it for a long time because of the Pirates. Though this year I have been following more. This doesn't mean I'm an idiot about the games either, just might struggle with some of the young guys a little bit.

    Yeah, but that's the thing with stuff like this. You can have absolutely no clue at all about baseball and do great, while someone with an encyclopedic knowledge of baseball does horrible. It all comes down to luck and hoping you just picked someone who actually comes through and gets a hit that day and doesn't choose that ONE day that you pick them to suck it up and go 0 for 4 at the plate.

    Yep Konerko has been tearing the cover off of the ball....the Cubs sent out the shitty Doug Davis last night so I figured he'd get a hit.

    Just like any other fantasy game or challenge. If an octopus can pick the winner of the world cup and the Liam's mom can pick the winners of the NCAA tourney
