The Jinx
By Byron LaMasters
There's all the talk about the jinx and the Boston Red Sox, but it's easy to argue that we've got 'em beat here in Texas.
The Texas Rangers have played in Arlington for 33 years.
Number of playoff series won?
Zero.
The Houston Astros have played in Houston for 43 years.
Number of playoff series won until last night?
Zero.
Combined, that's 76 years of Texas baseball without as much as a playoff series victory... until last night.
Red Sox fans could say it's nothing compared to an 86 year World Series drought, but at least they've won a frickin' playoff series since then.
Anyway, congrats to the Astros for breaking their jinx last night... everyone in Houston seems to be happy.
