Who's playing Beat the Streak?

I completely forgot about this game until today. I just started and picked Derrek Lee for tomorrow. Who else on here is playing, and how have you done so far?

I totally forgot about BTS before I saw your post. I signed up and picked ARod for tomorrow, you can't go wrong with him.

I liked playing it at first a year or so ago, but once you get up to like 8-9 games with your streak and then you miss out, it gets really obnoxious to go back and choose the players over again.

 

It's an outstanding idea for a game though, with an awesome reward if you're the best at it, or if you beat it

I won last year with 26 and was supposed to get a prize but never did.

If you have the longest streak aren't you supposed to get tickets to the all-star game? And if you beat it you get tickets to the world series?

 

Or am I thinking too big?

If you beat the streak, you get $100K. If you are the longest that season, then you get $5000. If you get more than 45 games in a row (current NL record) you get $100 gift certificate to the MLB.com shop, and a 35 game streak (current rookie record) gets you a $50 gift certificate.
