OK, so the Astros got beat in Game 1. That happens. But what shouldn't happen is that the umpire makes a goofus call after three outs in the bottom of the ninth that costs you the game. That's exactly what happened to the Angels last night. A non-passed ball became a runner, who got driven in by the next batter for the win.
As an ump, how do you make that call? Even after you made it you should recognize that it's a goofus call and overturn yourself. You cost the Angels a game on a call I wouldn't make in Little League.
And speaking of Angels. What in the heck is "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?". I know I know....you had to put Los Angeles in there, even though you don't play in Los Angeles, just to try and get more bucks somehow. And I know the New York Giants don't play in New York either. BUT...I'm cheering against you just cause you have a goofus name. So you probably deserved the passed ball call as penance.
Here's hoping the Chicago White Sox of Chicago whup you. And then the Houston Astros of Houston will beat them in the World Series.
