AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - With the Houston Astros on the verge of advancing in the baseball playoffs on Monday, a tweet was sent out in the name of Texas Governor Greg Abbott congratulating the team on its victory. Oops.
The wheels soon came off for the Astros, who just six outs away from a berth in the American League Championship Series, suffered one of the worst breakdowns in post season history. The team's fans were left wondering if the Astros were cursed by the leader of the Lone Star State.
