Congratulations Carlos!

Just put Dimaggio's streak of 56 gms into perspective for me. I mean, as good as 28 is, that's still only half of 56. Props to big Carlos though.

Carlos is awesome! GO SOX!!!!

Carlos has to set a second franchise record to get there. I don't think you can really understand how rough 56 is until you sit down and really root for a player to get there.

 

56 is is almost unimaginable.

congrats carlos

The scary thing about DiMaggio is that on BBTN they said that he never used extra innings to extend his streak.

 

BTW I love the new layout at WSC.

Rex brought this up the other day too. DiMaggio also had a 61 game hitting streak in the Pacific League.

CARLOS!! :cheers

Yea, but screw that. If he breaks it, he breaks it.

i thought that comment was kind of mean to carlos, almost degraded his accomplishment.

This is a tough record to go after. Quite a bit of it is dependant on the team.

I think I read that there were about 6 times during the streak that Lee extended the streak in his last ab & 4 of those times he was not likely to get the ab. A late SOX rally gave him the opp to extend the streak.

 

It's a remarkable acheivement for both Lee & the SOX considering how long it's been since someone challenged it. He's 2 away from tying the all-time Chicago record. He needs 31 to beat it. I'm praying he can do it!

The frontpage for WSC is AMAZING. Whoever did layout and design for that deserves major props. Way to go!
