| Brandon Webb
He is up to 42 consecutive scoreless innings. That is f'n amazing. The record is like 59 i think. I hope he gets to it.

Webb said his next goal is only to continue throwing zeros, brushing off questions about Orel Hershiser's Major League record 59-inning scoreless streak.

| IMO, one of the greatest records in sports in terms of difficulty.

| In September of 88, Hershiser was as unhittable as any pitcher I've ever seen. He was unbelievable. Not only did he break the scoreless-inning record, but he finished up the year with something like 8 or 9 complete games and a 10-inning game, all in a row. He ended the year with the 59 consecutive scoreless innings, one more than Drysdale's record -- and then came out and gave up a run in the first inning of the first game of the 89 season, ending the streak.
Webb's got a shot at it, but I'm not going to get too excited until he pitches another shutout next time out. | |

| By the time of his next start it will have been over a month since the last team got a run off of him.

| I think he gets to 47 and then Braun hits a bomb off of him.

| I wouldn't be surprised if he got the loss today. The Brewers are destroying Arizona right now. | |
