Chris Volstad must be feeling as optimistic as he's felt in a while about improving to 1-8 on the year.

Thanks, Appy. RotoNews didn't have the Astros lineup when it first posted the FTC lineup, but it has it now.

I'm listening to the Cubs broadcasters, I forgot what a dick Moreland is.

I tried to listen to DoRay. Raymond fucks up the lineup and announces Altuve leading off instead of Greene, he  laughs it off (ha ha ha good one, funny huh), then when Altuve batting second, gets a hit, the expert commentary by Dolan comments on how Raymond was, "just wanting to see Altuve hit", Raymond follows up with, "I knew he should be batting lead off...laugh laugh" These fucking guys together are ten times worse than they are apart. I think it was Sparks who worked the middle innings Sunday with Dolan, it was 10 times better than DoRay.

Martinez called out on a low strike. Both pitchers trying to work low, with middling success.

It's sad when the FTC team is easier to listen to than DoRay.

While DoRay are probably talking about guys with funny names like Smardzija, Moreland was commenting on how the Cubs batters need to be stepping out more and try to disrupt Harrell's pace.

When I saw that hit, I was reminded of the 1977 hit by Johnny Mathis and Deneice Williams, Too Much, Too Little, Too Late. I predict that this'll be it absent looking rejuvenated during spring training.

This is the kind of score a real baseball team puts up every 30 games or so.

From what I've been told, I'd be moving right into the heart of enemy territory in Missoula, which is brazenly liberal, whereas most of the rest of the state is my kind of peeps. I'm used to living around the enemy, living in Napa and so close to over the top liberal Marin county.

I just recently made my first forays into Montana and Oregon and Washington if you count fly-through stops in the airport. I've been to South Dakota because I made a speech in Rapid City back in 2001. While in the Portland airport, I had the privilege of talking by phone with OSF.

Why not?  Travelling outside the US is great.

I don't even have a passport. I've been to Mexico pre-911 twice. The only place overseas that I even have any willingness to risk life and limb travelling outside of the country is Italy to see Rome and Florence.

It's a versatile soy product beloved by many vegetarians. Don't worry, you can indeed get them in the good old US of A.

Risk life and limb?

I believe that security isn't nearly as strong elsewhere, rightly or wrongly.

Yeah, but lightning storms are much more of a concern here in the US. Aren't you worried about getting struck by lightning?!?

While I believe that when it's your time, it's your time, I believe that the security just is shaky elsewhere. That, combined with a simultaneous love of this country and lack of interest in seeing things outside of the country.

What are you basing this belief on? News reports, such as this one?

I just said that it is my belief, rightly or wrongly. Clearly, millions of people, including my wife, disagree with me every day. I'm very conservative in that respect as well as in many others.

I think it's safe to say that you are a one of a kind.

Actually, a now deceased federal judge who was a friend of mine was just like me-he neither had a passport nor ever traveled out of the country. Ironically, he died at the beach after having been stung by something in the water (not a jellyfish I don't think), but it's been a long time since it happened and I can't remember it. But I've been told that before, and you may well be correct.

And some people even bathe when you visit. Ah the simple life... come to think of it, my youngest son is living as if he were in a hippie commune right now. It's called his "bedroom".

I must be the anti-Happy.  I have just filled up all the extension pages in my passport and have to get a second set of extensions.  Am leaving this weekend for my 9th overseas trip of the year.

You really should make time to see Rome & Florence, though, Hap ... and I am not talking about heading north on 195.

If it was called the Gulf of America I'm sure he would have been safer.

Being a papal historian of sorts and a devotee of Dante, if I break down and get a passport, it'll be to go there.

I fully realize that my rationale isn't rational, but it is what it is. I'm just more comfortable and happier in the good ole US of A.

If you wanna go irrational, then pretend you're a Euro and you love visiting the good ol' U.S. of A. Might I recommend Disney World?

I'll see your Disney World and raise you just about any suburban mall in the country.
