    Longest hitting streak this 2006 season.

    28 games for Chase Utley of the Philadelphia Phillies.

    Chase Utley just got his first hit in todays game against the Marlins with is 4th at bat. He was hit by a pitch and walked earlier in the game. So it was looking grim for him today, but he came through in the 8th.

    I hope he continues, as this is good to see and good for baseball. Go get it Chase.

    29 game hitting streak.

    Chase Utley just got a 2 rbi single in the bottom of the 3rd against Dontrelle Willis and the Florida Marlins to extend his hitting streak.

    Keep it up Chase.

    Time will tell us that. Amazing that the Phillies have the two players with the recent longest hitting streaks.

    Chase just hit a home run. That guy is on fire.

    30 game hitting streak for Chase Utley.

    He went 2 for 5 in the first game of the Marlins/Phillies double header, to extend his streak.

    Can he make it 31 with a hit in the second game of the double hearder?

    Utley is 0-1 so far in game 2, but is due up this inning.

    Utley 0-2 in game two so far. he might get another shot in the bottom of the 6th though.

    Chase Utley just hit a rbi single in the bottom of the 6th against the Marlins, game 2 of a double header today.

    Great job Chase, keep it going.

    32 game hitting streak for Chase Utley.

    He went 1 for 3 in the 15-2 lost to the Marlins. After he got his hit, they replaced Chase to give him some rest before the long road trip.

    43% of the way left. Will get harder from here on out.
    He will be walked more and will have to withstand the
    added pressure. This streak ends this week.

    Why the negative vibes? Give the guy his props, its hard to hit in 5 games straight, no less 32. I hope he breaks it, or at least gets close. Its good for the game anyway, with all this 'roid talk.

    Wasn't his hit questionable today? I thought I heard ESPN say earlier that they may change it. I haven't seen the hit yet, that's why I ask.

    Questionable or not, its recorded as a hit. So 32 games it is.

    Not exactly true. Official scoring can be changed by MLB. I'm not sure of the process, but it has been done before after a game has concluded.

    LOL...Oh man that would be so funny! Unfortunately the likelihood of that happening would be about 0% even if the ball had been a slow roller right at Bill Buckner's glove.

    I hear you on that one. I finally saw the replay and it sure looked like a hit. I'm not sure what ESPN was barking about earlier.

    Then why argue my post if you didnt see the play for yourself. Thats just plan wrong on its own. Do the homework before barking up the wrong tree. You should know better then to listen to ESPN experts.

    33 game hitting streak for Chase Utley.

    With his first at bat today, he singled up the middle against Suppan and the Cardinals. Always nice to get it out of the way with your first at bat.

    Good job Chase.

    He ties DiMaggio with a hit in his next game.

    It seems that streaks like this happen once a year. Hopefully I'm not barking up the wrong tree here, but I think people are over hyping this hit streak big time.

    I agree, it is a very nice accomplishment but he is still
    so far away from breaking this record it is extremely
    premature to start even thinking he will break this record.

    Of course they will hype this cause it is good for baseball
    as it brings attention. But at the same time all it is going to
    do is setup everyone for the inevitable. Meaning him not
    breaking this coveted record..

    34 game hitting streak for Chase Utley.

    He singled to the pitcher, to extend his hitting streak.

    Dont mine these careless mofos Chase, keep it up.
