the Hillary Curse continues

Hillary will probably announce she was a Sox fan (when her favorite NY teams were out of the race).

Typical Houston sports big-game/big-series, stretch it to the limit and lose by the slimest of margins. Oh so close, but choke at the last chance. Total run differential of 6 is the lowest for any 4 game sweep in the post-season.

Biggest win was by 2 in 9 innings, with the go ahead run at the plate in the 8th of that one. Then extra innings, then the longest World Series game ever, then 1-0 nailbiter with the winning run at the plate in the 9th.

So typical for Houston sports teams. Its like the gal who keeps getting to the alter, only to have the groom walk away just before 'I do.' Would be much easier to take if the breakup happened before the engagement, or even just before the wedding day.

But that isn't meant to take anything away from the White Sox, who put on what may have been the most impressive post-season performance in MLB history.

At least the Astros played them closer than any other team.
