OMG! 32 for Luis Castillo! He's the greatest player ever!!

[SkooterPhil#10]

What a joke this is...:rolleyes:

I'll get excited after about 45.

[Sascha]

Hits are nice. But some homeruns, RBI and runs would also be nice...

[luvthesox]

it's exciting for the game.

Yes excitement is good.....

When Pete Rose was approaching Joe D's record, there was a great cartoon which I believe appeared in the Daily News. Joe D was swinging a golf club and smiling, and the caption read "Call me when he gets to 50."

This is uhh..good for him...

[YanKsWo]

The guy has no pressure on him. He dosen't speak good english or talk to many people. He dosen't even know most of his teammates names. I don't think he would be intimidated by any pitches also. So he a better chance.

[Gringaloca]

MAKE THAT #33...."Little Luis" just hits a double in the bottom of the 6th....WTG LUIS!!!!! and scores on Cliff Floyds base it....

[WindRavenX]

I'm rooting against him. No one must touch Joe's record..
C'mon, someone end it!!

I think that having Castillo hitting straight in 33 games brings excitement to the game of baseball.

Castillo has just tied Roger Hornsbys record of 33 games as a second baseman. Records are made to be broken.

I hope that he breaks Hornsbys record.

Go Louie!!!

Exactly.

[berriYankee]

Castillo has made it to 34 hits. He has broken Roger Hornsbys record as a second baseman just like I predicted.

Now on to the next game.

Good luck Louie!!!

[SkooterPhil#10]

22 games left. What is that 3 weeks and a day? He'll never make it. But I'm rooting against him. The only person I would ever want to break that record is Derek Jeter. Nobody else is worthy.

He's batted .391 the last 7 days, he has got to cool off! He'll face the knucklballer Steve Sparks tonight, maybe that will send him into a funk. If he makes it to 44 games they will be playing the Cubs where they could face Mark Prior. Other than that, it's all crappy teams.

For some reason I feel that way too. I love Derek, but usually I am not biased towards him. I hope Castillo's streak ends very soon.

Just to add a little excitement I hope he continues the streak, but falls a few games short. Too many cherished Yankee records keep falling by the wayside ( HR's, SLG, consecutive games played, etc). I would hate to see Joe D's record broken. BTW, what makes the Yankee Clipper's record even more remarkable, was that it was set by a right handed power hitter, not a contact hitter who either switch hit or hit from the left side.

The fact that he started up a brand new 17 game streak the very next day is pretty remarkable too. I mean, 73 of 74 games with a hit? That's absolutely incredible. Really makes Castillo's streak look almost silly.

[Gehrig]

Time to start thinking negative thoughts toward him...before he gets too close, which I already think he is...

[Gringaloca]

Keep those negative thoughts for tomorrow....Castillo just led off the Marlins 3rd with a single .....#35!!!!!! WTG 'little Luis"...

Before anyone gets the wrong idea....I do not want him to break the record...but this sure is good thing for Marlin fans....may be their last year with a club...might as well let them have some excitement...

[jojos_2]

How can he not know the names of his teammates?

Anyways, I also hope he doesn't break Joe D's record. Like Skooter said, the only player I wouldn't mind breaking Joe's record would be Jete. That would be awesome.
