Later down the road, fans will remember that the Astros won the World Series with a valiant effort by Charlie Morton. Fans will also remember going through the Red Sox, Yankees, and Dodgers to win the World Series. These are all big market teams that the young Astros team took care of.
Many fans may not remember, but after the July 31st deadline, people called the Astros losers for not making a deal. More specifically, for not trading for Yu Darvish. This was during the minutes following the trade deadline, before the news broke that he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
