Basically, you pick a player every day, and if he gets a hit, your streak goes up. This year they added a couple things which I don't exactly agree with. You're given a free streak of one with your first pick of the season, and they introduced the Double Down, allowing you to pick two players a day to get two points (but both must get a hit or you lose your streak).

Wigs created a Board 8 group that you can join and compare with other B8ers, and I'm hoping to get a bunch of people in the group so it's not just the two of us. Just go to Groups and search for "Board 8," and have fun!

Man, they changed up their layout this year and it really sucks, and they took out a lot of stuff. Hopefully they add stuff back in as the season moves along. Stuff like Opponents Batting Avg. for pitchers, handedness of batters/pitchers, stats for how your picks have done throughout the season, and previous/current day picks from members in the group.

Anyway....I have fun with this. I always pick Mets on days they are playing, and I limit myself to only picking a player once during a series. On the off days I get more freedom, although this year I'll try to stick with people from my fantasy team, but only if it's a decent pick. Yesterday I went with Jose Reyes for old times sake, since he was my most picked player last year. Today I'm doubling down with Ike Davis and Lucas Duda. I'm probably not going to double up much, especially since I'm just picking Mets, but I wanted to for Opening Day.

Yeah I don't like the format too much either. I never joined a group before but you'd think they would at least show everyone else's pick for the day. Takes out a lot of the fun of being in the group. (I picked Kemp btw)

Shouldn't have doubled! Kemp got his hit but Ichiro didn't. Ugh. I think I'm done with doubling unless there's some good Mets matchups/more than 3 hot hitters at the moment.

I don't think the double is really in the spirit of the contest. If it couldn't be done past like, a 10 streak it wouldn't be too bad. Though I'll be tempted when the number 4 and 5 starters start coming out.

I picked Kemp again yesterday and today. Seems to be working out well so far.

Tejada puts me up to 4 today. I had Wright tomorrow, but he jammed his pinky so he's probably sitting tomorrow. I'm changing to Ike Davis, despite him being hitless so far this season, and we're facing Strasburg, but....I have faith. He's got the day off today to clear his head, and maybe the speed of Strasburg will help his timing issues.

I'm back up to 3 with a Jeter/Cano double against Matusz (lol highest all time ERA for a season of 10+ starts last year) and Ethier yesterday. The pitcher vs batter stats swayed me away from Kemp and it actually worked out. Going with Cano again today.

Heh. That's what I did with Reyes last year, especially easy since he's a switch hitter. Once every series, probably against the best pitcher we're facing. Unfortunately the rest of the team was far too inconsistent to put a big streak together. So far this year, David Wright's been that man....damn, his average is down to .500 now.
