Somehow we knew it would come to this. The Astros belong in the World Series. October 22nd, 2019 This day has been circled on the calendar of all true Astros fans.
It’s here.
Got here beating the Yankees. Couldn’t be sweeter.
The worthy National League opponent is is a bit more of a surprise. The Washington Nationals let their superstar outfielder, Bryce Harper, walk last winter, and for the first time in ages, the Nats won a playoff series. First they upset the NL favorite Dodgers, and then they clobbered the Cardinals in four games.
The Nationals come into Minute Maid Park brimming with confidence and red-hot.
