Thursday was not the most joyful day of the year. Our little baby kitten fell ill sometime Wednesday or Wednesday night. By the time we got up to check on her Thursday she was hardly moving and largely unresponsive. She wouldn't take the bottle and didn't make a single noise. We had plans to take her to the vet around 2:30pm, but my roommate rushed her out around 1 because he noticed how much she was struggling to breathe. A little after 1:15 a vet came out and said she didn't make it and that she'd probably picked up a virus before we even found her. It was very difficult to see her limp form. She was loved by so many in her short time. I started calling her Robot for a while, Robo for short, so i guess that is how I will remember her. Little Robo Kitty.
If anyone was so lucky to watch the Rangers Mariners game they received a wonderful present, good pitching at the Ballpark at Arlington. King Felix and Matt Harrison combined for an outstanding game. Anyone out there either rooting for or owning Brandon Morrow in fantasy probably hates the Rangers at this point since he's blown two saves in two days against them seeing his ERA balloon from 4.70 to 9.72...ouch. But anyways, this Matt Harrison guy has two consecutive complete games, has won 4 in a row, and had a 22 inning scoreless streak; not bad, not Greinke, but not bad. Speaking of Greinke, we're going to continue the nickname game! I saw someone on a yahoo message board suggest Zach Nasty as his nickname and I was all over that.
Don't hear much about swine flu anymore now do we? Don't we all just love the 24 hour news cycle? Always makes for great fun.
I'm off to Papasittos...Papasitos...Papassitos...whatever, for dinner. Love their fajitas! Best meat ever. No comments peanut gallery. Then I want to see Next Day Air with Mos Def and Donald Faison, two of the most hilarious people ever. Definitely fell in love with Mr. Faison when he was in Remember the Titans and Mos Def when he was in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Lots of television shows are coming to their season finales, so I'll probably talk about those in my next blog after I watch them all.
Astros update
After the first two games of the series saw teams scoring more than 10 runs, the third game proved more natural with the Astros beating the Rockies 5-3 behind a solid pitching performance by Mr Magic himself Wandy Rodriguez. Go take a peak at his stats, I think you'll be suprised.
Fantasy Corner
The good news is that I'm not being destroyed this week in the ESPN League. The bad news is that I got outscored by over 100 yesterday. I have high hopes for the week, but I still have to assume that I'll lose. Over in my Yahoo league I'm up 8-4 but it's my opponents pitching stats that are scary good, though he has no wins or saves his ERA is 0.00 and his WHIP is 1.05. Ouch. The good news is my offense is still dominating, being led by Adam Jones and suprisingly Chris Davis this week. If you take a gander at the Rangers link above, you'll see Mr. Davis destroying Brandon Morrows offering for the Walk off.
