StreakMaster

  (12:03 PM)

Hey guys, sorry I'm late. Let's get going.

russell horne

Good Afternoon SM I'm big bulls fan any chance of having Bulls Phili up for thursday its big game

StreakMaster

  (12:04 PM)

Most likely yes. I'm sure that spread won't be too much.

Randy (plainville, ct)

C.C. Sabathia gets the start today, he usually pitches extremely well against them how well do u think he will pitch today?

StreakMaster

  (12:04 PM)

I am sure the Yanks will take this one but I am sticking to my word that CC doesn't go over 17 wins.

Drew (Buffalo)

Late to your chat? You definitely are Buzz

StreakMaster

  (12:05 PM)

That is an insult. Have you seen Buzz play softball?

Angel McCoughtry (Louisvill)

Hey SM, i never knew my team was on the streak until halftime, thats when i kicked it in gear and we won.

StreakMaster

  (12:05 PM)

Even my Women's bracket is busted now. I had Conn-Oklahoma.

Stephen Woodford

You think the tar heels will win tonight

StreakMaster

  (12:06 PM)

Yes, I do. I am not sure it will be a blowout though.

Eugene H (NJ)

Unc or Michigan state? Unc right? they beat this same team at this same place by 35!

Duane (Fort Worth)

How would you describe the feedback for the new SFTC3?

StreakMaster

  (12:06 PM)

75% good. People evolve, after their "I hate change" theories.

Will J (Portland, OR)

SM, can you tell us the though process about not unlocking the Davis Love III v. Romero matchup earlier last Thursday?

StreakMaster

  (12:07 PM)

We thought they were going to finish their round. It was just wind that was in the way. We took a chance, and didn't work out.

Tom Izzo (Michigan)

Hey stephen, thats what everyone thought when we played UCONN. Remember that? Yeah, i bet you do.

Steiny McWhinerson - NYC

I love Jmerms. How was your weekend SM? Mine was fantastic.

StreakMaster

  (12:07 PM)

Dull weekend actually. Not too happy about it.

Paul (New York)

Love the additions to streak, excellent job. Who do you got...Michigan State or UNC?

StreakMaster

  (12:08 PM)

UNC in a close one?

Andrew (Iowa)

What are the chances we see a prop bet involving the NFL draft, for instance will Detroit take Matt Stafford or the field?

StreakMaster

  (12:08 PM)

Very likely. We love the NFL draft here. You will get your fix.

Eugene H (NJ)

where's rebecca? i thought she was your #1 fan

StreakMaster

  (12:08 PM)

Me too...

Paul (NY)

will you put the womens championship game straight up? connecticut is probably heavily favored, but it is the championship game...

StreakMaster

  (12:08 PM)

Probably not, but some sort of prop yes.

Chess Player (Winston Salem, NC)

Colorado @ Arizona more total runs OR Brandon Webb K + BB total? We need some help here!

StreakMaster

  (12:09 PM)

Do your own research!

Bobbo (NY)

So is that Oklahoma girl gonna pay her scholarship back or what?

StreakMaster

  (12:09 PM)

If she is true to her word she will.

Danny (Miami, FL)

Can you explain how the "stunts" will work?

StreakMaster

  (12:09 PM)

Remember X-Mas? Just a bunch of prop bets on the board. 15-20 or so.

j r boston

is it true that progressive will not be a sponsor next year.

StreakMaster

  (12:10 PM)

Where did you hear that?

Randy (plainville, ct)

i live about 5 mins away from HQ in Bristol, if i get one of the top 7 streaks how am i going to be flown to bristol? Limo?

StreakMaster

  (12:10 PM)

I will push for a limo for you, I promise.

Nolefan_NJ (Message Boards)

Since I can't do live chat's at work, can someone who does go to these live chats with the streakmaster please ask, "why the hell do you lock games at 9 which clearly haven't started until 9:12 or 9:15, especially when they are the last game of the night"Isn't that afterall, his job? to stay on top of stuff like this. He had no problem Saturday changing the lock time of the North Carolina game so there's nop good reason why he couldn't have changed the Golden State game last night.

StreakMaster

  (12:11 PM)

If our tv programmers say the game is starting at 9 we stick to it. We try to move the time when we can. That's not our main priority.

CJ North Kingstown, RI

Hey SM, I was just curious because I wasn't around; What ended up happening to the people who picked the April Fools Day Joke game lst week?

StreakMaster

  (12:11 PM)

It was just ruled a push, pretty funny though right?

Justin (WV)

What WRs do the Bears need to go after for Cutler to be successful in Chitown?

StreakMaster

  (12:12 PM)

Ocho Cinco? Braylon? Plax?

Maria Sharapova

I can be your #1 fan if you show me some love on the Streak Board when I make my great comeback.

StreakMaster

  (12:12 PM)

Done and done.

Rob (NY)

I saw on your website the entry with lady gaga you had a link to O.A.R? Do you listen to them?

StreakMaster

  (12:12 PM)

Occasionally. Not on my top-ten list though.

Lance (New York, N.Y.)

I must say that your Mets have a real sweet place to play in. Citi Field looks so beautiful in just about every aspect. New Yankee Stadium has a great exterior but the collage of advertisements and the "coldness" of the field really takes away from it. What's your take?

StreakMaster

  (12:13 PM)

I will find out when I see the Mets take on the Marlins in person May 30th.

Chess Player (Winston Salem, NC)

Why have the NCAA championship game on the board tonight? You know it is going to be a blow out...

StreakMaster

  (12:13 PM)

"Not so fast my friend!"

Rich Rodriguez

Buzz was talking smack about you earlier. That guy needs to get a life.

StreakMaster

  (12:13 PM)

What was he saying exactly?

Eugene H (NJ)

why would anyone pick the colorado/arizona brandon webb prop when its in the same time slot as the yankees? the yanks are an easy win

StreakMaster

  (12:14 PM)

I agree but not everybody wants to follow everyone else.

Carlos Boozer (utah)

ever heard from big sam and how he is doing? How was your bonus from no one winning the last game?

StreakMaster

  (12:14 PM)

Haven't heard a peep. I hope he got the car he wanted.

Pat (philly)

Love the curling. 3-0 after Norway's win

StreakMaster

  (12:14 PM)

I wish I had that record.

Pete (NC)

It's what they call Prisoner's Dilemma. It's in everyone's interest to just not take any more picks once they match the highest streak, but because they can't be sure that everyone else will stop picking, they keep picking. It's all one big mind game.

Duane (Fort Worth)

I did like the April Fool's matchup! Did you get a lot of people complaining about it being a push, then decided to cancel it?

StreakMaster

  (12:15 PM)

Tons of bad feedback but we got people to laugh, that was our goal.

Mike (WI)

How do you think Yovani Gallardo for the Milwaukee Brewers will pitch this year? He's got a lot of talent for such a young age.

StreakMaster

  (12:15 PM)

I want to say 18 wins. I have him on all my fantasy teams.

David Fairborn, OH

He said he would crush you. We think he meant by sitting on you. Ha.

StreakMaster

  (12:16 PM)

Crush me in what? Buzz is garbage.

Stephen Woodford

You think that manny will get the N.L. MVP this year?

StreakMaster

  (12:16 PM)

Nope. Chase Utley will take it this year.

Arizona

will we ever gat a coach

StreakMaster

  (12:16 PM)

Great question. Not sure why everyone is turning you down.

Eugene H (NJ)

what are you going to do if you don't get a .600 win percentage? you asked streakers for their suggestions on your site but you havent said anything back yet

StreakMaster

  (12:16 PM)

Everyone is saying to go streaking but that isn't happening. I am still open to suggestions.

Greg (Aiken, Sc)

How Many Games do you see my Amazing Mets winning this Year! I figured about 98 also do you see Johan Santana winning the CY Young this year?

StreakMaster

  (12:17 PM)

91 wins and a wild card spot. As for Johan, I don't know. I would say Timmy L.

CJ (North Kingstown, RI)

It was a pretty good prank. I was hoping that the fools that picked it not understanding that it was a complete joke were going to end up with a lock for the rest of the day.

StreakMaster

  (12:18 PM)

same here CJ. You're from Rhody, you're good in my book.

scottyyahmps (Deptford, NJ)

people complained about the April Fool's play? Get a life, people, it wasn't real. There's far worse going on in the world worthy of your angst.

frank ct

the weathers tough.not a good start for the baseball on the board today.

StreakMaster

  (12:18 PM)

Stinks eh?

James (Boston)

How about some Frozen Four action on the board this Thursday? A lil more college hockey love??

StreakMaster

  (12:19 PM)

Keep an eye out, I think it's coming.

David Fairborn, OH

What do you see the Reds doing this year? I think they can surprise and challenge for the NL Central title.

StreakMaster

  (12:19 PM)

They will be over .500 that's for sure.

Jake (NJ)

Who will win the soccer matchup today?

StreakMaster

  (12:19 PM)

I am staying away from that one today. I am clueless.

Duane (Fort Worth)

Any thoughts of moving to L.A. to be a part of the West Coast Sportscenter!

StreakMaster

  (12:20 PM)

I wish I had an invite. Then I could finally meet Jessica from Laguna.

russell horne

SM just want to say this new sftc is great it takes alot of strategy and tempting to pick everygame but you got to take your time i love this game tho great game

StreakMaster

  (12:20 PM)

Thanks Russ.

Paul (Albany)

A friend just told me about SFTC on Friday... I signed up and I can't stop checking the site. Thanks for ruining my life ;)

StreakMaster

  (12:20 PM)

Join the club Paul. It will be worth it in the end.

Lane Kiffin

StreakMaster (Bristol): StreakMaster here, all in favor of me taking over this trainwreck of a chat say AYE!! Buzzmaster: I will crush you. I think Buzz will end up working at a gas station

StreakMaster

  (12:21 PM)

I think he knew it wasn't me, I would never talk bad to Buzz.

Danny (Miami, FL)...again

So what was the thought process into making this round 8 months? I'm thinking too many people are getting closer to the million dollar prize, and ESPN can't afford to give away a few million.

StreakMaster

  (12:21 PM)

We wanted to try something new, it is going to be more entertaining I feel.

Dave C (Los Angeles, CA)

Are you ready for Cincinnati to be the Tampa Bay Rays of '09? Do you think it could happen?

StreakMaster

  (12:22 PM)

Rays are winning the series, I know that.Cinci won't be that great, just mediocre.

Fake Rebecca (St. Louis)

Back off, Paul!

Carlos Boozer (utah)

Who do you think can match the lakers in the west?

StreakMaster

  (12:22 PM)

I had New Orleans in the beginning of the year, but probably nobody.

Steve (Phoenix, AZ)

Are there plans to add more MMA bouts to the streak? They are usually a 50/50 toss anyways...

StreakMaster

  (12:23 PM)

Oh yeah, there will be. We love MMA here at Streak.

austin belden

you think that the rays will have another surprise season?

StreakMaster

  (12:23 PM)

98 wins and a W.S. crown!

David Fairborn, OH

Fact: Lebron will go down in history as a better player than Jordan.

StreakMaster

  (12:23 PM)

Fiction.

frank ct

what did you think of wrestlemania last night?

StreakMaster

  (12:23 PM)

Didn't watch it, what happened?

Duane (Fort Worth)

Any new feelings on how many wins you think it will take to make the final 7 coming to Bristol?

StreakMaster

  (12:24 PM)

23 or more is my prediction. 23-28 are my thoughts.

Eugene H (NJ)

sorry SM, my phils will repeat. I do agree the rays will be IN the world series though. Phils win again in a rematch of last year 4-2

StreakMaster

  (12:24 PM)

Please. Cards-Rays.

brad (SC)

how will the pickoff work?

StreakMaster

  (12:24 PM)

Not sure on all the details just yet.

Pedro (NY)

hey I thought there's going to be some kind of a contest every thursday??

StreakMaster

  (12:25 PM)

Be patient Pedro.

scottyyahmps (Deptford, NJ)

Everybody is talking about how great the Reds are going to be. Isn't their opening day starter today coming off of a 6-17 season last year?

StreakMaster

  (12:25 PM)

Very true.

James (Boston)

Is there going to be a leaderboard at some point with the top streaks to date so people know what they have to achieve to get into the Top 7?

StreakMaster

  (12:25 PM)

Yes, our guys are working on that as we speak. It is going to be cool.

Jeremiah Scanlon (NJ)

If The Rays are winning the WS whose missing the playoffs: Yanks, Red Sox, or Both?

StreakMaster

  (12:26 PM)

Yanks will miss out I think. I'd love to see a Sox-Yanks one game playoff for a playoff spot.

David Fairborn, OH

Scotty, Harang is a beast. He was a Cy Young contender 2 years back. He was coming off of injury last year.

StreakMaster

  (12:26 PM)

There is your rebuttal.

frank ct

mickey rourke beat jericho. triple h is the new champ

StreakMaster

  (12:26 PM)

Of course Triple H won, he is the man.

Tony LaRussa

You just gave us the kiss of death. Thanks man.

StreakMaster

  (12:26 PM)

I probably did, sorry about that.

Randy (plainville, ct)

i work in southington and i always see Mark Schlereth and Peter Gammons, u ever do ur grocery shopping in southington?

StreakMaster

  (12:27 PM)

Nope, I live north of Hartford.

Lean Gourmet

Would you ever consider having a "Forfeit option" to allow streakers to concede a game they feel is a lost cause? If their team makes a comeback, shame on them, but we could get more picks in!

StreakMaster

  (12:27 PM)

We went over it but it didn't make the cut, my apologies.

Rebecca (St Louis)

Hi SM.....sorry I'm late....got stuck in a meeting. Are you ready for some baseball!!??

StreakMaster

  (12:27 PM)

A little to late Becca.

Justin (WV)

How is that (.600) goal looking?

StreakMaster

  (12:28 PM)

Not bad .545. I will get better.

StreakMaster

  (12:28 PM)

I have to take off early, but I will be taking e-mails at TheStreakMaster.com. Check it out. Peace out!
