Well, Smooth, I am finally getting around to posting that BTS relevant data. Here goes. The first thing that I do each day is look at the Picks of the Day on BTS and I go ahead and pick one of them that I like the best for each of the four available days. This keeps me from getting caught with my pants down on any given day. The next thing that I do is open a new tab and head on over to BaseballMusings.com to get the list of current hit streaks and various good data on these hitters. I will usually get one of the guys in the top ten on this list. Then for even more information I open yet another tab and head over to ESPN's Player rater page. This provides a wealth of sortable stats on every player. There is a convenient search feature so that you can sort by stats or position. If you can't find the player you are looking for, then just type his last name in the handy search bar and click on GO. Now, when you click on the player's name that you want on any list, you will get a pop-up window with some information on the player such as the latest news on him as well as his last 15 games logged. Let's go deeper. You will notice on this pop-up window that, at the bottom, it reads "View Player Card". Yep, you guessed it! Click on view player card and this opens a new tab with that player's virtual baseball card on it. This Player Card page contains many goodies, such as Stats, game logs, news, batter vs pitcher and photos. The most important thing that I use every day is the Bat vs. Pitch section of the player card. Clicking on this feature reveals the Player's career performance versus every pitcher on the opposing teams staff! I nearly always choose someone who has displayed ownership over the other team's pitcher for that day.One other thing: back over on the player rater page, you will find good info on the header at the to. Next to where it says "Player Rater:, it says "Daily Notes". Daily notes provides some extensive information about the day's games . 
Whew! That's all for now. I hope you find it helps with your picks. I am always looking for new stuff, so I will post what I find. Best of luck, Streakers!

Using that stuff, I went with Nelson Cruz and his nine game hitting streak to get me to W3 on BTS. He is 2 of 9 for only a .222 average against Sherzer, so tread lighty. I went with Chase Headley and his 15 game hitting streak to get me to W10 on BHS. I'm concerned because he has never faced Mortensen and I usually don't like to pick a player in his first appearance vs. the opponent's starter. Hopefully he gets a hit, tonight ! BOLA!

Well guys what do you want to hear first, The Good news of the Bad news? Alright I've decided for you the bad news.
My W7 on SFTC is going down with the Texas Rangers because of that Colby Lewis bum.
He allowed 9 earned runs including 4 home runs. I should have taken the Brewers which would have enabled me to also pick the Rays. The Brewers won 7-2 and the Rays have an early 2-0 lead.
Now for the Good news: Speaking of the Brewers I got the win with them on survivor moving me up to 1 game below sea level.
And now for the best news!: Troy Tulowitzki got an infield single in the 1st inning to bring my streaks on BTS/BHS to W16!

Yes that has happened on another page earlier this year and I thought the same thing. That something was wrong with my computer. It's just a bug on the site I guess.

Yesterday, Nelson Cruz went 2 for 4 with 42 homers and 4 RBI's to extend his hit streak to 10 and my BTS streak to 3. Chase Headley picked up a hit to extend his hit streak to 16 and my BHS streak to 10. My entry name on there is Tomahawk Chop! On SFTC, I won with Angelholms draw on soccer and followed that with a win on the Brewers. My Streak there is a measly 2. Good luck today, Streakers!

Nowitzki was off floor for 6:02 in Game 3; Mavs were outscored by 14 points in that 6:02; other than Dirk, Dallas shot 34.7% for game, so they have to get someone else to score, or this series will end soon. Miami is 5-3 on road in playoffs; their bench has been +20/+21 in its two wins, and -22 in game they lost. Dallas has done great job keeping James off foul line (8 FTA/three games)- they're giving Bosh (16-52 30.8% so far in series) open jumpers and he's making 31% of them. Mavs are +17 on boards last two games, after being -10 in opener. Lot of stars in series, but whichever team has a stronger supporting class will win the title. Mavericks are now 6-2 at home in playoffs.
