Despite the overwhelming amount of fun these last few weeks have been, I can’t fault anyone for feeling a little uneasy heading into tonight’s game. Today represented the start of a long stretch against some tough teams - even after this series wraps up tomorrow, the Yankees, Red Sox, and Angels still loom in the distance. In years past, plenty of chances to sustain momentum when it counted got snuffed out almost immediately (think D*****r W*****d), and the Astros have owned our soul the last couple years.
Thankfully, this year isn’t like the others.
