Just call me the "Angel Optimist"

Very nice! The last two starts from Kelvim have been very good- much better then his number would suggest. He has been downright unhittable at times this season (he didn't allow a hit past the second inning today), but he seems to have problems avoiding the big inning. That splitter has become a devastating out-pitch and he's been able to use it often by getting ahead of hitters early. Now lets just hope this little nail problem goes away in time for his next start.

What can you say about Troy Glaus? He is the very definition of "locked in" right now, hitting everything on the screws. When he gets on a tear like this he can carry a team offensively, but luckily we don't need him to carry us this year. Could Troy be blossoming into the MVP candidate we all thought he'd become?

Guererro seems to have a spring in his step he was missing to start the season, the Molina's are hitting well, and Kennedy seems to be coming out of his funk. Even Erstad is hitting well... er, I mean not terribly right now. And the bullpen... just wow.

I'm starting to feel really good about this club again.
