u25baWell, you didn’t really think the Astros were going to sweep their way to another World Championship, did you?
The Astros were dominant in the ALDS and ALCS, but in six of the seven games of those series, the outcome was decided by two runs or less. To sweep, a lot of things had to break just right for the Astros.
Last night things didn’t break right.
Everything looked set up for another heroic finish. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, the score tied 5-5, struggling Jose Altuve blooped a single in center field.
