I'm proud to report I now have a 10 game hitting streak!!! This has been so great picking the correct hitters like this. Only the leaderboard says some people have a 22 game hitting streak. So, alot of ground to make up!

Well, as soon as tonight's games are recorded on the site, I will have earned a second online scratch off for a prize. The first time I got a mlb discount for their shop...I know there are some good prizes for the scratch off if I can just manage to keep my hitting streak!

Finally, good luck all!!!
