Game 4 in Houston just ended and boy did that feel familiar.
A giant, raucous crowd of Houstonians standing in anticipation of a relatively easy series defeat of the uber-talented Kansas City Royals, all the momentum on Houston’s side, all the calls going to the home team. It felt like a dream.
It’s difficult to accept today’s loss because so much good happened in this game that it almost causes a mental syntax error.
The Astros were up 6-2. Six outs away from advancing to the American League Championship Series after a delirious bottom of the seventh that saw Carlos Correa, the 21-year-old phenom who is using up all the superlatives one can possibly obtain, go yard for a giant two-run home run – his second of the game, only to be immediately followed by Colby Rasmus and his fourth “ColbyJack” of the postseason.
