The Houston Astros were bad for a long time. They lost 100 games three years in a row, but like the Chicago White Sox, they stripped it down to nothing and built it back up. Now, they are going to play for the World Series for the second time in three seasons when they take the field against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night. It is good to see as a White Sox fan because you can see that the White Sox are trying to become them essentially.
The White Sox actually had a bit of an advantage compared to them, as they had a Hall of Fame pitcher in the middle of his prime in Chris Sale to trade away.
