Seriously, the streak doesn't really matter. There are a ton of circumstances entirely out of the pitcher's control that can interrupt a streak like this...a 2 hour rain delay in the 4th inning, for example, and of course a judgement call by a jackass umpire. Sure, it's a nice little stat to have, and something for Mark and White Sox fans to feel proud of, but at the end of the day I don't care. A couple of times it seems like Ozzie left Mark out to get his six despite the fact he didn't have it (@Oakland earlier this year and then last week).
What's more important is that the team could've responded by laying down after their ace was tossed. They didn't...they finished the job and responded like a championship team should, unlike what happened out in Oakland when the umps took over the game with that Crede situation.
