MLS: Starts From Inception

EDIT: Brennan's streak is now over.

Which players started the most consecutive games for their respective MLS teams from the beginning, the franchise's first game? There are two ways to look at this, league matches only (aka regular season) or all competitions. Both lists are below (only the top player for each team is listed).

Jim Brennan is the last man standing for Toronto FC, having started all 17 of their games so far. That's only good enough to tie for 13th in both categories, and he's one yellow away from suspension. So catching up to Mark Chung is extremely unlikely.
