To quote myself before the series started: “The rangers Astros ALCS series is going to be one of the best ALCS of all time. I have it going 7 games with the Astros winning. Both stadiums are going to be extremely electric, and I would not be surprised if the benches clear. I’m really looking forward to it as an Astros fan” I think I really nailed this prediction(except for who wins). While I am sad to have lost, I truely think the rangers deserve to move on to the World Series. They have fought hard and battled to get to the World Series. This rivalry between Texas and Houston may end up being like Yankees and Red Sox in 10 years, and I look forward to it.
