…who is starting tonight for the Astros, is 39 years, 8 months and 8 days (as of today, if I’ve done my math right: birthday Feb 20, 1983.) So he has a chance at becoming the oldest ever to pitch a complete WS game… but that ain’t gonna happen, he hasn’t pitched 9 innings all year, has he?

But I wouldn’t bet against him racking up at least 10 K tonight! Even against the Phillies, who don’t strike out much.

Criminey, I was nearly 9 years past high school when that punk was born.
