Naw, I was at that game and we weren't laughing but we weren't crying either. We knew we had a very good YOUNG team that was just not ready to win a game like that yet. We all felt that our time would come soon enough... We all knew that it was the turning point in the series - if Correa fields the rather routine play cleanly, the Stros probably win the series. I say probably, because that Royals team was VERY TOUGH to beat. They really played like Champions. They were special... We as Astros fans wanted our team to be like them. Fast forward two years and we are. Only we now hope to have a much longer run as contenders. I think we will.
I, as well as most Astros fans, have a LOT of RESPECT for that '15 Royals team. Since we couldn't win the World Series, we were happy that the Royals did. The Astros players will tell you than to a man - and they did when asked.
