The World Series is finally heading to the Lone Star State, but game three in Houston will find my Astros facing an 0-2 series deficit after tonight’s 7-6 loss to the ChiSox.
Particularly of concern is the mental outlook of closer Brad Lidge, who seems snake-bit after giving up tonight’s ninth-inning game-winning dinger. This on the heels of a similar ninth-inning homer in the NLCS, Lidge’s last time on the mound.
