Jose, I do see

First, a disclaimer.  Any similarities between the title words, and the first few of our national anthem, are truly coincidental.

In past entries, I've been very hard on Jose Guillen, wondering if the money spent to bring the man to Kansas City was worth it.  This afternoon, during the Royals 9-3 victory over Florida, I was handed several very good reasons that the money WAS worth it.

He has a 10-game hitting streak.  From what I saw over the last few days, he's been getting good pitches to swing at.  In addition, he hit a very convincing home run in the late innings of this game to finally give me reasons to believe.  Can he continue this pace through Boston and Toronto? Time will tell.

By the way, the Royals have won six of their last seven games.  I'm very much encouraged.  Mr. Guillen, keep up the good work.
