Beat the Streak Report: Tuesday, August 16
Jturner became the seventh Streaker to reach 35 games this season, meaning that they’ll receive a fun little email interview from yours truly within the next 24 hours. I know Streakland is just dying to learn some juicy personal tidbits!
You may remember that doorsrule failed to respond to my missive two weeks ago, only to see their Streak go down in flames at 36. The lesson: the former “BTS Report jinx” has clearly been reversed. Click “delete” at your own peril, Turner.

I have a streak of four, but it’s listed as two on every BTS page. Is anybody else seeing a glitch like this?
My phone shows my streak of 3. When I get home I’ll reply with what it says.
I meant what my computer says. :p
Doesn’t really matter anymore, I guess. Marlon Freakin’ Byrd is going to reset me…
