Since Orel Hershiser recorded his record-breaking 59th consecutive scoreless inning, does anyone know who has come closest to matching him?

And which record is more likely to last: the scoreless inning streak record or the consecutive game hitting streak record? The knee-jerk reaction would be the consecutive game hitting streak record, but the more I think about Hershiser's 59 consecutive scoreless innings (and the fact that he got the 59th and record breaking inning in his last start of the season, and only because that game went into the tenth with the Dodgers scoring, so Hershiser had an opportunity to pitch 10, not 9, innings), the more it blows my mind.

Brandon Webb. 42 in 2007.

Dimaggio's record, solely based on the fact that there are more people in range of Hershiser than Joe.

Does it change anything that, since Orel Hershiser broke the record, pitching complete games has become such a rartity? Orel did it by pitching four scoreless innings in a game after giving up a run, but still completing said game, and then by pitching 5 consecutive complete game shut outs, and putting up 10 scoreless before bowing out of a game that the Dodgers lost in the bottom of the eleventh.

I KNOW we won't be seeing five consecutive complete game shut outs again any time soon, but does having to pitch scoreless innings over more starts (and thus more games) to break the record make it that much less likely to be broken?

My gut reaction is that it would be easier to do it w/o pitching complete games. Less likely for a pitcher to be out there when he's really fatigued, assuming he's not stubborn about trying to rack up CG's. It's anyone's guess.

This is my Simpson's quote of the day, from an under appreciated episode.

Mulder: All right, Homer. We want you to re-create your every move the night you saw this alien.
Homer: Well, the evening began at the gentleman's club, where we were discussing Wittgenstein over a game of backgammon.
Scully: Mr. Simpson, it's a felony to lie to the F.B.I.
Homer: We were sitting in Barney's car eating packets of mustard. You happy?

Navy Scientists claim evidence for cold fusion

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Researchers at a US Navy laboratory have unveiled what they say is "significant" evidence of cold fusion, a potential energy source that has many skeptics in the scientific community.

The scientists on Monday described what they called the first clear visual evidence that low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR), or cold fusion devices can produce neutrons, subatomic particles that scientists say are indicative of nuclear reactions.

"Our finding is very significant," said analytical chemist Pamela Mosier-Boss of the US Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR) in San Diego, California.

"To our knowledge, this is the first scientific report of the production of highly energetic neutrons from a LENR device," added the study's co-author in a statement.

Amazing, if verified. Don't hold your breath, though.
