Sad Astros Fans in Spacesuits Go Viral During Game 7 Loss to Rangers

They look like two kids who didn’t get any candy on Halloween.

The Rangers defeated the Astros in emphatic fashion Monday night in what ended up being a lopsided Game 7 to book a trip to the World Series. On the way to the pennant, two Houston fans caught the eyes of fans across the county for their heartbreak. 

In the top of the fourth inning of the ALCS decider, the Rangers scored four runs to take a commanding 8–2 lead with the bases loaded and Minute Maid Park was left completely shell shocked by the offensive onslaught. With the frame still going, Fox cameras panned to Astros fans that perfectly encapsulated the fan base in that moment.

The two grown men decided to attend the game in full NASA space gear in honor of the team’s name—but what was supposed to be a fun outfit just made them look like two kids sad they didn’t get any candy on Halloween. Both fans looked heartbroken and their pouting caught the hearts of fans across the nation. Of course, a fair amount of fans enjoyed their pain. 

Houston would go on to escape the inning without giving up another run but lost 11–4.
