Chase Utley, on the other hand, I don't know. Joey D threw up 56 straight. I'm not trying to take away from his hit streak. 33 games is certainly impressive. But think about it. He's gotta go for 23 more to tie. 23 games is a very nice hit streak on its own. I just can't see it happening. I do hope he gets close, but I just can't see him catching or passing Joe D.

Eleven games gets him the NL record. I love his attitude during the whole thing. He'll talk about the game to reporters, but completely ignores "streak" questions.
