It’s a sad day across Streak-land, as our fearless leader, “bretzky26”, saw his/her run come to an end at 37 games after Juan Pierre’s 0-for-4 effort vs. the Tigers yesterday.

We enjoyed the ride, “bretzky26”. There’s always next year.

What’s good streakers? I’m Matt Chaprales and I’ll be handling the blog for a few days while Dave enjoys some much-needed time off.
It takes some spine to approach the territory our leader “bretzky26” is toeing these days, and once again he/she made a bold pick on Wednesday by selecting Orlando Cabrera.
However, O-Cab was given the day off.
That means “bretzky26” remains alone at the top with a 37-gamer.

still has enough time on the calendar to put together a 57-game streak.

It looks like someone wants to play ball, after all.
BTS leader “bretzky36” survived the long weekend and now sports a 36-game after Ryan Zimmerman’s fruitful Monday at the yard.
With less than a month left in the season, “bretzky36″‘s 36-gamer should
add some much-needed BTS energy after we admittedly fell into a rut
once Geoff Croke’s 43-gamer hit the hay.
So splash some water in your eyes, put on a crisp new shirt and let’s get this party started. “bretzky36”, we’re here for you.
