On the Astros in particular, but baseball in general.

Great read. The Astros are one of the great teams. It's been more than a dozen years since another team put up back to back 100 win seasons. Is there any doubt they won't be back again next year? Of course that's why they play the games, because the one bad hop, call, or blunder can turn the course of a game or even a series.

I agree. And not taking anything away from Boston because they still won fair and square, and in every series there will be moments that one team needs to capitalize on and they did, and another team has to overcome to win, and Houston didn't.
