Streakland diversified the portfolio in a favorable market on Thursday, hitting with top picks Miguel Cabrera (9.3 percent), Justin Upton (8.4) and Robinson Cano (7.0).

Jturner leads current streakers into the weekend, heading up the standings at 31 games. Make it another week, and season top dog Jonathan Roy might start sweating a little bit.

Another day, another Red Sox hitter disappointing more than a quarter of the Streaking population. Following in the footsteps of Dustin Pedroia, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez pulled the stunt last night with a 0-for-4 performance against the Twins.

Current champ jturner reached the 30-game threshold thanks to Robinson Cano but still sits a lengthy 10 days from challenging Jonanthan Roy for the season’s longest run and the $10,000 prize that comes with it.

Home Run Beat the Streak pick:

Paul Konerko: (26 home runs this season) vs. Orioles starter Chris Tillman

28.8 percent of your Streaks went down in flames with Dustin Pedroia‘s 0-for-2  last night, and former current leader Fatcat3415 was among the unlucky masses. Your new standings-toppers are tied at 29 games a pop, but no 30-Streak means no names on the ol’ Report for at least another 24 hours.

Home Run Beat the Streak pick:

Mark Teixeira: 32 home runs this season vs. Angels starter Garrett Richards

A whopping 21.7 percent of all selectors rolled with Jacoby Ellsbury yesterday, and the Red Sox outfielder came through with a 2-for-5 evening.

Current leader Fatcat3415 went against the grain with Michael Young, but the Rangers infielder made good with one hit in five trips to the plate. The Big Kitty’s 33-game run puts him within a week of tying jonroy73 for the season’s longest Streak.

As of now, that’s still jonroy73 at 40 games. As of nine days from now, it could be current king fatcat3415. As of a couple weeks from now, it could be you. Forty-one is the goal. Get after it.

So ‘member a few weeks back when @MLB faced off in that BTS Battle Royale against Stephen Colbert?

He won, @MLB lost and there was much embarrassment and shame around BTS headquarters. Heads were rolled and stern lectures were given (Youkilis against Big Game James? Really???).

Well, now Mr. Colbert is cashing in on his victory. As promised, the keys to @MLB are in his hands for 24 hours beginning Friday at 12 AM.

Follow along right here — he could say literally anything.

Well, well, well doorsrule — how about that BTS Report curse now? You chose not to answer our oh-so-friendly email interview questions, and your 36-game streak still went down in flames on Jimmy Rollins‘ 0-fer. Take note, future 35-gamers: Deprive the readers of the juicy personal tidbits they demand at your own streak’s peril.

Anyway, doorsrule is now old news and Simon_s999 tops the new current standings at 29 games. We recommend rehearsing your own answers now, just in case a certain missive hits your inbox in about a week …

Home Run Beat the Streak pick:

With Andrew McCutchen‘s seventh-inning single last night, current leader doorsrule advanced to 36 games and moved into a tie with jero07 and bclark2779 for fourth place in the 2011 standings.

We”d love to tell you a little more about our leader — you know, the standard likes, dislikes, favorite Doors song routine — but the bat signal we sent out yesterday has so far gone unanswered. Is it possible that doorsrule is familiar with the (alleged, so-called, vastly-overblown) BTS Report Curse? We told you guys to keep that whole thing on the 15-day Down Low.

Either way, Mr. Morrison, the people demand answers in the form of random tidbits about your personal life. Hit me up before it’s too late.

Annnnd just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is the final day to start a new Streak with an opportunity to reach 57 games. Our advice: don’t lose.

Ryan Howard: (21 home runs this season) vs. Rockies starter Aaron Cook

Since baseball is all about the sabermetrics these days, we present two figures for your Monday perusal:

35 is the Streak amassed by current leader doorsrule. Channeling the spirit of Jim Morrison, ‘Rule had ridden the storm to the season’s sixth-longest Streak and moved to within five days of matching Jonathan Roy for the 2011’s longest run.

3 is the number of days remaining to start a new Streak with a chance of reaching 57 games before the end of the season. That’s right, Streakers: Wednesday is D-day. Kick it into high gear now and you could be bidding $5.6 millon on concert-worn Morrison memorabilia come October.
