Nixon was 1 for 15 against left-handed pitchers this season before he got two hits each against Burres and Birkins. Nixon stated, "I was just fortunate to have the kind of day that I did today. I found the holes when I needed to. Having those kind of at-bats, it's a morale booster. The biggest thing for us is just winning the ballgame. We lost two games in a row here. Most of the time, I face lefties who come out of the bullpen, and those guys are not very fun. You get an opportunity to face guys who are starters, it seems like it's a little bit different out there”.
However, in the eighth inning, Nick Markakis hit to the left while Huff scored. Also in the eighth inning, Millar singled to the leftfield and Melvin Mora scored. Thus making the score 9-5, and in the ninth inning, Hernandez singled to the left field and Brian Roberts score. So the final score of the game was 9-6 with the Cleveland Indians winning.

I'm Lost

I don’t understand the obsession with the T.V. series called Lost. It is a new show on ABC and is on every Wednesday night.
It starts out with the Oceanic Flight 815 out of Sydney, Australia is mysteriously crashed onto an uncharted island in the Pacific Ocean, and they are all lost. Where is the plot? Nothing interesting after that can happen. I think that the show is boring and I have no interest in it at all. There are a lot of people that I know that are obsessed with the show, and I don’t understand why. I have watched episodes of Lost before, but I get lost and I don’t understand it. So the survivors of the plane crash must learn that they have to work as a team in order to be rescued. In season 3, the characters: Jack, Kate and Sawyer have been captured. They are then forced to live with these mysterious others in their encampment. This other groups of people are their enemies and there are many secrets of the island. I just don’t understand what is so interesting about that, people get lost on an island, and they venture the island to get rescued.
However, one day they really do become rescued or they all die. Why would anyone watch that? The 48 survivors of the plane crash will slowly die off or they are somehow rescued by a search and rescue group. Either way I would be greatly disappointed by the outcome of the season of lost. I’m lost as to why anyone would purposefully watch this show. To watch the ending would just be a disappointment.

House- "The Mistake"

House and Chase are in a bit of trouble after one of his female patients dies because Chase forgot to ask one question.

Kayla was watching her two little daughters perform for the talent show when all of a sudden, she was having sharp stomach pain. In the middle of the girl's routine, she started screaming out in pain. After being rushed to the hospital, Dr. House was in his office discussing the diagnosis with his team of doctors, however he couldn't open a bottle. He asked Chase to open it, and told Forman to do a test on the patient. Although, Chase spilled the pills everywhere, and Dr. House then told Chase to run the test. Chase successfully did the test, but when Kayla came back for a test on her arm, Chase wasn't interested. He has just got a call telling him that his father just died from lung cancer. Chase says that he just saw his father two months ago but he didn't tell him that he only had two months left to live. Distracted by this news, Chase misdiagnosed Kayla when she says that she took the medicine and her stomach still hurts. Instead of going into an exam room and making sure she was ok, Dr. Chase assumed that the disease was stronger than they thought, and gave her a prescription for stronger antacids.

However she had bleeding stomach ulcers from taking too many ibuprofens and with it going misdiagnosed it got worse. When she showed up at the hospital again, she was vomiting blood, so Chase and Forman send a camera down to her stomach to see what was going on. They then find the ulcer, but the contents of her stomach, with the infection had already spewed into the rest of her body. Therefore, the danger of this was fatal, and she was rushed to the "OR". It damaged her kidney and liver which caused her brother to give half his liver to her. House had to blackmail the best transplant surgeon to do the surgery for Kayla and her brother. However, he had his medical testing done by a lab tech that he paid to say that his liver was clean. Although, he has Hepatitis C from getting a tattoo, which caused Kayla to have liver cancer. She died later at her home, and her brother was furious, thinking it was Chase's fault. This is when the lawsuit came into play. Stacey, House's ex-wife, is the attorney of the hospital and this is when the brother decided to sue Chase.

The committee of doctors suspended Chase for a week to get his life back into place. As for House, they are allowing Dr. Cuddy to provide a doctor to supervise Dr. House at all times. When Dr. House shows back up in his office, to his surprise Dr. Foreman is his new supervisor.
