Regardless of what happens tonight, the Houston Astros will earn history and here are three scenarios as to how.  Game 7 is one of the toughest pills to swallow for an athlete.

Those two aforementioned words in sports — especially for the Houston Astros —  usually signal the epitome of epic, plain and simple. In fact, they are basically one word and one number put together to make it sound like an Academy Award film. Two words that forever reminisce in the history of sports. Two words that make everyone stop what they’re doing and watch.  So what am I talking about?  I’m saying that no other words can be more gratifying, apocalyptic, and stressful than Game 7.

Let’s be fair! I hate it when people say this is one of, if not, the best World Series in recent memory.

I hate how history will put this down as a series for the ages.

It ticks me off when people will talk about it for years to come and even non-baseball fans will see how it’s great for baseball, sports, and all of the humanity.

Why do I hate these things so much? One word: unpredictability.

It’s because these games have been nothing but exciting, stressful, intense, and mind-boggling to the point where you’re not sure you can take this.

Frustrated For What Reason

I’m frustrated that we find ourselves in a Game 7 because we’re in a situation where one of two things happen.
