I'm just following on gamecast, but it looks like he just struck Trout out on 3 pitches. Was it as impressive as it sounds?

Yes. 2 heaters on the corner and then a curve in the dirt Trout went around on.

Pop up to Castro.
Hamilton is rounding 2nd on a foul ball and gets doubled up. Wow.

I was at the game tonight and had a great time obviously. I don't know how obvious it was on TV but there were a lot of boos for the Angels throughout the game and a decent amount of Astros fans there seen in splashes of orange around the stadium. Even saw a guy in a brand new Humber jersey. Lots of new Astros gear. By the 7th inning the stadium was half empty. Chickenshit OC fans. We took that as our cue to move down closer to the field.

Cliff Johnson with 5 in '75.

I watched him take BP several times when he was an Astro. I saw some shots in the Dome past the Toy Cannon and Red Rooster seats. He can really hit them a long way.

Agree with this. 6 to about 10 or 11 are the best years--they want to hang out with you, they like you, they're fun, easy to joke with...of course, then they turn 12...
