So today Tiger needs to get his vaccination shots. I didn’t know what type of cage Grandpa had for Tiger. So I brought a kennel for Tiger. I tried to get him to use it but nothing. So we pushed him in. then he panicked. He clawed at the sides and tried t bite his way out. So that wasn’t going to work. I let him out and he was freaked. So we put him in his regular cage. This cage was alittle smaller.
So we load him up and put him in the car. We took him out to the vet. The moment we got out of the car he starts meow’ing like crazy. I take him inside and look down and Tiger is pee’ing out of his cage onto my pants as well as the floor. Someone comes out and wipes it up for us. Then we take the cat in to an patient room. Then I smell something funny. I look down and Tiger went poop in his cage. I tell the docter that is assisting us. The doctor takes Tiger into the back and gives him his shots. Tiger comes out and is better. We load him up and take him home.
He gets home and I immediately let him out. I’m sure he’s tired of that cage. But now he’s mad at me. He doesn’t come out to play right now. I’m sure he doesn’t feel that good right now either.
So we figured it out. Tiger knows what the vet looks like. And he got really scared and he let go anything he had inside of him. Poor cat. But I’m sure he’ll be fine.

Quan's Birthday
Quan had a good birthday party at Mission Ale House. Lets just say that Quan probably doesn’t remember a lot. We started the night watching the NL CS baseball and the Sharks game. Quan had a Gordon Bierch. Then Gena and Katie got Quan a AMF (audios mother f------). We moved to the back patio. We took a shot of Fusion red Rasberry, a mission house specialty. He had another beer before taking a fusion shot. After that I lost track of what order it went. But I know he took a Chili-bomb (crown in rockstar), stella, jager. I’m sure there was more but I don’t remember.
We had our fun with him. Quan was stumbling around. The bouncer told him to straighten up the walk. After that he sat down and wasn’t allowed to walk around. Matt pretended to be mad and Quan was completely apologizing. When we decided it was time go, one of the bouncers lead us through the crowd and out the door. We sat down and Quan was professing his apology about getting us kicked out. We chuckled because we weren’t kicked out, we were leaving. The next thing we know Quan is laying down on this concrete slab at the parking garage. We struggled to get him upright. Then he goes “I gotta puke” we sat him up and BLAH, all over the concrete and splattered on his shoes.
Steve got his car and we had to carry him to the car. Meanwhile people are passing us by cheering him on. I told them that it was his birthday. They cheered more. We got Quan into the car and decided to puke somemore. We held the door open and let him spew out.
We drive back to Quan’s house and Steve walks up to me laughing. I’m like “what happened?” steve goes, “Diane is still back at Mission Ale, and Quan has the keys to the car. So I gotta drive back to Mission so she can get home.” Oh crap. We try to get inside Quan’s house. Quan tries to unlock his car, because the remote to the garage is in it. But his car isnt’ here! So we put Quan onto the porch and I watch him. Steve drives back to Mission. We must have been there for at least 30-40 minutes. They finally roll in and we open the Garage. We have to pickup Quan again and we help him into the garage. He slides off his shoes. We have to disable the alarm. So immeadately after the door inside opens quan goes in and enters the disarm code then stumbles over. Steve and I help him upstairs to his room but he cuts right and goes into the bathroom. The next thing we know, steve comes out and goes, he took his pants off! I look in and Quan’s sitting on the toilet with no pants on. A few minutes later Quan stumbes out with only his boxers on. He shivers as he climbs in bed. We quickly make him take some asprin, and then get him under the covers where he passed out.
Steve and I leave with only one thought. Quan’s going to feel great tomorrow.

A's are gone
A’s have been eliminated. I was very surprised that the A’s got bounced from the playoffs so easily. Detroit absolutely dominated them. The Pitching made the difference for Detroit. I see them winning the World Series. Neither St. Louis or New York Mets can compete with this pitching staff.
But perhaps the more surprising thing was that Ken Macha was FIRED 2 days later. The rumors started almost immediately after the elimination. Players had told the GM Billy Beane that Macha was not there, was not respectful to the players. That day YOU’RE FIRED, and Macha was gone. Beane says it was a “disconnect” between Beane and Macha. This probably stems from debacle from last offseason, where Macha told them no, then came back with his tail tucked between his legs.
So what now? Gotta find a manager. I personally think it should be Ron Washington. The 3rd base coach is well respected and highly regarded around the league. It should be good to have him as the man. The second choice is Bob Gerent, the bench coach. It is assumed that Beane wants Garen to be the next coach because Garen was promoted against Macha’s wishes.
I’m not one to go outside when an acceptable solution is inside. Either way, they are probably good choices. But if Washington isn’t the manager, there are plenty of openings around the leagues that want his services.
The offseason is off to an interesting roll. and the World Series isn't even over yet

A's Win the Divisional Series!
The A's did it! They FINALLY did it. They pass the Divisional Series in the MLB Playoffs. It was a good game. The real hero is Marco Scutaro. He has been Mr. Clutch (as Swisher calls him). When they need a big hit, Scutaro comes through. And he deserves all 35,000+ people cheering his name. "MARCO" "SCUTARO" "MARCO" "SCUTARO".
But lets' talk about the big event for us. I had bought our tickets, Section 208, Row 3, seats 3-6. Matt his gloves for foul balls, but Dad never thought anyone can get it up there. We had at least 2 or 3 come towards our section, but never made it, one hit right off the end of the 2nd deck and back to the first. Right then I knew, we might catch a foul ball.
So in the 6th Inning, Marco Scutaro is at bat. he's fouling pitches off and such. with a 1-2 count, smack. I see it and I go, "Here it comes!" It's coming straight at me, like I don't see it moving left or right, so I know it's coming right at me. "I got it!" Then I see it curve to my right, "GET IT MATT! GET IT!" I turn and look, and SNAG, Matt catches it in front of his mother. I started jumping up and down, and everyone cheered for him. High-fives all around.
As Dad tells it, I said "Matt Get it!" and I was pushing Dad out of the way. Which I had to say, Yeah, I didn't want you to interfere.
The person behind us said, "You just saved 2 lives, she's pregnaut!"
The elderly couple infront of us were very happy Matt caught the fly ball. thoguh the lady seemed like she was going to ask for the ball. In which case Matt would have said, "No."
This will be a good story to tell. And will be told many, many times. But hey it is well deserved.
Good Catch. Yes, Good catch.

Opening Night for the Sharks
The Sharks started the season with a BANG. We had alittle bit of everything in this game.
First off, the NHL changed the time allotted for TV timeouts and video. Well... they are longer.
Blues started out with a goal 36 seconds into the game, the Sharks came back, only for the Blues to come back.
The Sharks got 2 back-to-back 2-man advantage powerplays where they scored both times.
Then we had a goal review on the Blues' 3rd goal, which was allowed...
The Sharks had a goal reviewed, which was disallowed...
The glass got dislodged, so the crew had to come out and take it off then put it back in.
The poor Referee; a shot deflected and hit the Referee in the eye, and bled all over the ice. That's a tough shot for him.
Then on a powerplay, Cheechoo gets knocked down and kicks a hole into the side boards. That caused a 20 minutes delay.
Then finally, with 5 seconds left, the Blues tie the game, sending the game to overtime. Where teh Sharks eventually won.
This was definately a long game to be at. Anything and everything possible could have happened to delay the end of this game.
By the way, The Sharks start the season off with a WIN in overtime, 5-4.

A's Playoffs; East Coast Bias
A's win! up 2-0 over Minnesota coming home. Yeah, we've seen this before, and we all know that the A's can't get out of the first round. So it's not over till its over. Frank Thomas is THE MAN.
Here's the thing we are being hit with the East Coast Bias. Remember the days that the games were shown at the same times, all 2 series. But since the start of Divisional playoffs, the dates and times of the baseball games are screwed up. The East Coast (Yankees) always gets the prime time schedule. The West Coast (A's) get the 1:00PM start time... During the week.
MLB, don't complain that the "A's don't sell out" it's becasue you put the damn game in the middle of the day in the middle of the week.
In addition, you screw up the Game 4 and Game 5 start times. Just set the times so people can schedule their day. because it messes up the fan's schedule.
MLB is holding out for the Yankees. If the Yankee's play then they get the prime time. "otherwise whocares, we'll will just stick whatever there." says the MLB.
Thanks for the East Coast Bias.
