You'll be happy to know that some Houston fans, at least those in my section, applauded the World Champion White Sox. I then also stayed for a "Houston!" "Astros!" chant. Not how I envisioned this Series going down, but the White Sox played good ball and came up with the clutch hits and great pitching.
It's somehow poetic that the Astros' season ended with a 1-0 loss. It's a closed circle. We began the season with a poor record, and it ended with a sweep. I am at peace with the way things turned out. I am very proud of my team as we had many classic games this year--ones I will remember forever with pride. Even the ones we lost.
The White Sox have waited a long time for this moment. Enjoy it. Maybe the Baseball gods will see fit to give the 'Stros a rematch next year with the White Sox as they did this year with the Cards.
I could clearly hear the applause on television. Very classy of Astros fans...
