hitting streaks? ummm, no. after i scrape stats off of a score sheet, score sheet hits the trash. a very similar thing happens to my strat cards after i pull my team from the deck. now playoff score sheets are special. i keep those until i'm eliminated or claim another title, then i toss those with the joy of knowing i don't need to do stats!

woot!
