Ugglamazing

How does a .224 hitter have a 31-game hitting streak?
Simple. He gets a hit in 31-straight games, dummy.
I'm cracking on myself. What's up with that?
Anyway, Dan Uggla, with his .224 average, had 3-hits in the Braves 6-2 victory over the Marlins today.
Can Uggla actually threaten DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak?
Probably not. But you never know. That's what makes baseball so great.
They wrote songs about the revered DiMaggio. I don't know if they'll write a song about Uggla if he breaks Joe D's mark. But I'd actually like to see it. Or at least see him come close.
Do you know who I feel bad for? Dan Uggla's wife, that's who. She has to go through life known as Mrs. Uggla. I've never seen her but I'm sure, like most ballplayers wives, she's rather snappy. But no matter how good looking she may be she'll always be Mrs. Uggla. Too bad.
Good luck Dan. Keep the hitting streak going.
