This game was painful!

The Rangers went into the ninth leading the Astros but then Jose Altuvie hit his 26th season post-season career home run and the score went from being 2-4, Rangers to 5-4, Astros.  The Rangers always seem to struggle at home but the good news is that, lately, Houston has been struggling at their home too.  The ALCS is returning to Houston so let’s hope the Rangers can turn things around.  The Astros are one game away from returning to the World Series and, if they’re joined by the Phillies, it’ll be another years with two most hated teams in the league fighting it out in the World Series.

Normally, I’d cheer for Astros in that case but I might not this year.  Not after Martin Maldonado deliberately hit Adolis Garcia with a pitch.  Way to keep up classy, Houston.  It would take a lot to make me support a team from Philadelphia but the Astros are really determined to help me do it.

Go Rangers!

That was brutal.  Tonight, the Astros won Game 4 of the ALCS by a score of 10-3.  The ALCS is all tied up now.  You all know I’m a Rangers fans so tonight’s game was hard to watch.  But if I’m going to brag whenever the Rangers win, I guess I have to be willing to acknowledge when they get beat, too.

I’ll always love my team no matter what happens but I hope tomorrow’s game is a better one for the Rangers.

Go Rangers!
