I used to cheer for the Astros. Seriously. When they were in the National League, I rooted for them because they were from Texas. When they faced the White Sox in the 2005 World Series, I hoped they’d win. The Texas Rangers were bad back then, and of course I wanted a team from Texas to win the championship. But they didn’t.
The Astros were swept and then went into a free-fall. Then, Houston moved to the AL West. They became division rivals, and I couldn’t cheer for them to win. Not that they did a lot of winning back then anyway.
