Not looking good.
This series should easily be 2-1 Houston, but some mistakes have cost us. Still rooting for the good guys!!!

It's over for the Astros. They didn't even win a single game in the world series.

Give the Astros their due. They had a great season, they certainly earned being in the series, and they played the White Sox tougher than the defending world champs did.

Don't give them that much credit!

I think they deserve plenty of credit! Considering the amount of adversity they faced along with many other obstacles like: (injuries, inexpierence, and lack of run support.) They were definitely overachievers this year. I went to alot of games and these guys really worked hard to win with what they had. They have a good group of young players that will get better and i look forward to them competing for the crown again next year.
I now can focus all of my attention on watching the Horns win the National Championship!!!

It reminded me of the movie Major League.

Which reminds me, what was that old kiddie movie where that one kid had a broken arm and ended up being able to throw like 100mph+ fastballs? I can't remember the name dangit...

Yes, give the Astros that much credit.
The Astros DID play the White Sox tougher than Boston did. The Astros were in every game, they were all close. Meanwhile, the Sox' first game against Boston was over after just 1 or 2 innings, it was like batting practice, 5 Sox homers and a final score of like 14-2.
With a healthier Clemens and a few more days rest (if you'd beaten the Cards sooner), you'd have had a championship worthy team playing evenly with the White Sox.
They "only" won the NL? They "only" went to the series? Did the Cards? The Braves? Did the Yankees get that far? The Angels? Red Sox? Phillies? Indians? The As? The Astros are looking down at some damn fine teams right now.
Don't be like George Steinbrenner. Appreciate that your team did have an excellent year.
