All rookies, rhyming names or make it difficult and pick all one team facing an ace like Peavy or Webb. Difficult, but Joe D. didn't sit when facing an Ace. Really kill us all and list only NL Starting Pitchers one day. Well the last one wouldn't be very fair.

Does anyone have any good ideas for themes to use?  All first basemen?  All foreign born players?  I need some ideas.  I'm getting writers block.

All rhyming names, huh?  lol.  I would definitely do the pitchrs if Zombrano and Owings were pitching the same day.

 

If I use any of these, you better go hide for a few days.  There's gonna be some ticked off folks when their streaks come to an end. lol.  I love the ideas though.

I said from the beginning that I take requests.  If you have someone you want to see on the list, just let me know.

 

Then everyone can blame you for a poor decision instead of me. 

 

I kid, I kid.  But I'll put someone on the list if you want to see them up there.

Think Ichiro has ever gone 0-6 in a game at any point in his LIFE before today?  I really doubt it.  That's insane.  It worries me that you didn't take Aramis, by the way.

I had to look that one up.  Didn't believe you.  Wow.

 

I'm curious like Luke.  I wonder if Ichiro has ever done that before.  Get the ESPN statisticians on this.

+2 thumbs upI just did a Log Finder on Baseball Reference.  Shockingly (to me) this was his sixth 0-6 playing in the MLB.  He's gone 0-5 a whopping 45 times.  He's obviously done a hell of a job making up for it.

So Ichiro went 0-6 but everybody else on the list had at least 2 hits except Barton who didn't play.  That's crazy.

Daric Barton did not play.  Anyone with a streak that chose him will have their streak carry over to tomorrow's poll.
