Somehow, Houston seems the 2017 team of destiny, giving the citizens of the area something positive to rally around as they clean up from Harvey. Oddly reminiscent of the 2013 Red Sox, from the "Houston Strong" patches on their unis to Altuve assault on post-season hitting like Big Papi did in 2013.
I proudly admit to being a Red Sox fan since Yastrzemski was a rookie playing LF, but I'm not terribly upset that the Astros won the ALDS series. Bummed? Yup.
What I am most pleased is that Boston improved performance wise. I look forward to 2018.

I second your opinions. My husband and I are fans of 5'6" Altuve - gotta love him. We like George Springer, who grew up a Red Sox fan in New Britain, CT and graduated from UCONN. We also liked Josh Reddick when he was on the Sox roster, too.
The Astros and Dodgers seem to be the teams of destiny this year. We'll see how it ends up...
I hope Terry Francona's Indians beat the NYY tonight!
