Fighting Phil's hit streak

Battling for the wildcard, the Phillies have consistent support from infielder JImmy Rollins. His 33 game hit streak is growing and helping keep his team alive in the hunt. He's nearing the record of the Marlins' Luis Castillo, who set a mark by hitting in 35 consecutive games in 1998. I hope Rollins finishes the season with his hitting streak still in tact. Most streaks are ended before the end of the season. If the Phillies make the playoffs maybe the second basemen's source of reliable offense will continue. This has got to be an influence on his teammates. If they can't be motivated to play to a higher degree nothing can stir their confidence. As far as reaching the near impossible record owned by Joe Dimmaggio it's going to be a steep mountain for Rollins to climb. His main focus I'm sure is enabling his team to reach the postseason. Why not? I would rather by playing in the first round of the playoffs with a chance for advance to the championship series or World Series than continue a hitting streak that will probably be broken. I wish Rollins good luck in his quest, whatever it may be at this point.
