Astros lose after Texas Governor sends congratulatory tweet

Oops.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott tweeted a congratulatory message to the Houston Astros on Monday when the team was up 6-2 in Game 4 of the American League Divisional Series. This would typically be a nice gesture, but the game hadn’t finished yet — and the Astros ended up losing to the Kansas City Royals, 9-6.

If Houston loses the series, this surely will be remembered as an even bigger gaffe than it is.
