Hanging in There

Even though we went just 4-6 in our last ten to fall to 15-15, we're happy with it. We actually won the series against Anaheim, avoided a sweep against San Francisco, and played a tough series against Salt Lake City. Especially against Salt Lake, even though we dropped three of four, every game was decided by a single run and could have easily gone the other way. We'll now move into a three game series against St. Louis followed by another three against SLC. After that our schedule will really soften up. We're five back for the division and two back of SLC for the WC2, so I'd say we're still in striking distance at this point.

As for performances, Cap Glass has cooled off some, but is still performing well, posting a .908 OPS, Midre Cela is red hot right now, hitting 14-30 in his last 10 games (1.152 OPS for the season), and D'Angelo Rivera is still untouchable, reaching 14.1 scoreless frames in 14 appearances.

As for the bad, Skeeter Wilkinson isn't doing much hitting at all, slugging just .307 on the season while leaving a ton of runners on base, Brandon Hansell has yet to get it going, batting just .241 with no home runs, and Robert Daniels is posting a rather pathetic .265 OBP.
