The Bottom 10 Inspirational Thought of the Week:Oh gently please, Wont you take your time with me? Oh gently please, Stop talking bout dying like havent tried it.All the things, the things I thought Id seen. Sure didnt see that coming.-- Didnt See That Coming Taking Back SundayHere at Bottom 10 headquarters, located along the shoreline of the reservoir where Tom Rinaldi collects our tears, our offices were empty over the weekend. Why? I was on the road in South Florida. Officially, I was there to cover the NASCAR season finale. Well, thats what I told my bosses so theyd pay for my plane ticket. In reality, I was there to sneak up to FI(not A)U. The Golden Panthers, having just hired new head coach Butch Davis, were hosting the Marshall Blundering Herd.As I arrived, Ill admit that I was a bit nervous, and not just because of the tailgaters I saw trying to set a Port-a-John on fire. You see, both FIU and Marshall have been in the Bottom 10 this season. So, would I be greeted with a slap to the face? Two slaps to the face? Would I be thrown out of the press box? Would I be angrily driven out into the middle of the Everglades and dumped overboard where only David Caruso, with his Who soundtrack, might find me?None of that happened. Instead, I was greeted with smiles. I even received one hug. The FIU athletic staff handed me a stat sheet and a free sandwich as a Marshall official said, No, we dont like being on the list. We didnt see that coming this year. But when we get it turned around, you wont see us coming.As we chatted, a TV was on in the corner. On it we saw ... wait. Was that? It couldnt be? ... Yes, Kansas was tearing down a goalpost! The Nayhawks, the odds-on favorite to win the Bottom 10 title with only two games remaining, had just beaten Texas for the first time since 1938.Right on cue, an FIU employee spoke up. I guarantee you no one saw that coming.With apologies to Sonny Crockett and Steve Harvey, heres this weeks Bottom 10.1. Fres-no State (1-10) The good news?

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Mike Trout left the Los Angeles Angels game against Houston in the sixth inning Sunday with tightness in his right hamstring. The All-Star outfielder doesnt think the injury is serious, but he is uncertain whether hell play in Mondays series opener against Cleveland. Trout went 2 for 3 with a single and a third-inning double, scoring a run in the Angels 7-5 loss to Houston. He strained his hamstring while running out his double, but didnt leave the game until he flied out in the fifth. "Its all right. Im just sore," Trout said. "Its not like it popped or anything. It was just a little grabbing, so it shouldnt be too serious. I didnt really feel anything until I got to second base. Theres just a little tightness in the hamstring, and Ill see how it is tomorrow." Trout reached base for the 40th consecutive game to extend the majors longest current streak, the second-longest in Angels history. He has an eight-game hit streak after his 48th multi-hit game, tied for the major league lead. &quoot;I came out just because I didnt want it to get worse," Trout said.dddddddddddd "I didnt really feel it when I was running, but I did a little bit when I walked. Its definitely frustrating when you cant be out there. For me as a speed guy, Ive got to take care of my legs." Last seasons AL Rookie of the Year has been the brightest spot in a dark season for the struggling Angels. Trout is batting .333, second in the AL to Detroits Miguel Cabrera, with 156 hits, 78 RBIs and 28 stolen bases. Kole Calhoun replaced Trout in the Los Angeles outfield in the sixth. Collin Cowgill moved over from right field to Trouts spot in centre. "He said it wasnt too bad running, but when he got back to the dugout, it was getting stiff," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Then he went out to play defence and didnt say anything at that point. He played out there for a couple more innings, but when his turn was coming up, it was getting stiffer. So we gave him that at-bat and got him out of there." ' ' '
