King as opener.
Wade at 1st, Allen at 2nd, Vasquez catching. Trammell, Varsho, Smith in the outfield.
Man, this would be a great game to be at.

That’s what I’m talking about!
Imai and Santos were warming up during King’s 1st batter
eta: and after King’s 2nd walk, Santos comes in with 1st/2nd, 2 out
That ought to do it.

Don’t worry, Imai will save us from a 4 hour game
Because he’s only going to throw one inning with his 45 pitches?

I hated that goddamn trade when it happened and obviously hate it more in retrospect.
Not that Houser had a place on the Astros, but he could have been traded for something else.
I really liked Willie McCovey when I was a boy.
