Just Curious

Chase Utley's hitting streak ended at thirty five games Friday night. The AP blurb mentioned that Utley's streak was second to Jimmy Rollins' thirty eight game hitting streak earlier this year (and last year) in franchise history.

While Rollins' streak was active, there was daily blab about the great Joe DiMaggio was and how his hitting streak is an unbreakable record. But there was no passionate defense of DiMaggio this time around. Any theories on why?
