Houston Astros: The What Ifs Following ALCS Loss to Boston
No loss is ever easy. But Thursday night’s ALCS loss of the Houston Astros by the Boston Red Sox is going to sting for a little bit.
Repeating as World Series champs is a tall order. Not since the 1999 and 2000 New York Yankees has any team in the major league ever accomplished this feat. The Houston Astros certainly had all the components to do just that. Until lady luck smeared an ALCS loss in their faces
Thursday night’s defeat by the now American League Champion, Boston Red Sox quickly put the hopes of a back to back championship reign to a screeching halt with a 4-1 victory over the spacemen in Game 5. After last year’s World Series game 5 went in the Astros’ favor, this year’s game 5 of ALCS loss saw them on the other side of the coin.
No doubt, all of us in the fan base are still feeling the hurt. All you can really do is tip your cap to Boston for being the best by beating the best. The pain may temporarily cause some head and heartaches alike. Nevertheless, as the saying goes, this too shall pass.
