Add another star to the flag

We like the idea of Butler starting at 1B on Sundays and against some left-handed pitchers (as long as nobody actually hits any hard balls toward 1B). And we actually don't mind the idea of Olivo DHing on those days. Go figure.

We're looking forward to Greinke's start tonight -- except we'll probably fall asleep in the third inning.

We don't really like Jose Guillen that much, but we bet he breaks out this week in Seattle, SoCal and Oakland.

We have finally come around on Iraq and now consider statehood the best option. It would be like officially having a new Alaska in the Middle East, only hotter with lots of improvised explosive devices and stuff. Anyway, Colin Powell was right: You break it, You own it. Forever.

P.S. Obama is exactly right too: People vote on issues like guns and gay marriage and flags and Jesus because they know none of the politicians is actually going to try to do anything about the real problems that voters don't really want to understand in the first place.

P.P.S. If Iraq really was like Alaska, we'd go there immediately and drink beers at The Brick and hit on Maggie O'Connell (even though her boyfriends never fared too well and one of them got hit by a satellite).

P.P.P.S. Speaking of Northern Exposure: Remember that time Chris decided to fling a cow but then found out it wasn't an original idea?
