Kevin Youkilis Has A Blog

It's called Yooooouuuuukkkkk right now, but if you've got a better idea, he'd like to hear it.

Re his nine consecutive multi-hit games, here are the longest streaks since 1957:
Tony Perez        1973  11
Bernie Williams   2002  10 
Chuck Knoblauch   1996  10
Rich Dauer        1978  10
Bob Nieman        1958  10 
Kevin Youkilis    2007   9
Rusty Greer       2000   9
Gary Sheffield    1992   9
Shane Mack        1990   9
Billy Hatcher     1987   9
Tony Fernandez    1986   9
Kirby Puckett     1985   9
Jim Rice          1978   9
Rennie Stennett   1971   9
Tony Oliva        1971   9
Jesus Alou        1969   9
Bert Campaneris   1969   9
I think the major league record is held by Paul Waner (14 games, June 3-19, 1927).

    To answer a question from the other night, we "YouK" at home too. My son calls it "youking." Always nice to generate new gerunds.

    "youk" |yoo-K| verb The expression of warm or affection feelings toward Kevin Youkilis. Example: "They are youking at Fenway."

    From Youk's blog:

    "it kicked off that little triangle-cut wall in center field"

    That's called the triangle, Kevin.

    An excellent addition to our lexicon! Nicely done.

    Is he really writing this a la G38 or is this more like the ghost-written columns where a player talks to a stringer who then types up and arranges the quotes?
