Houston Astros fans react to crowd chants of "We want Houston", mocking New York Yankees fans who chanted it after ALDS

The Houston Astros fans in the crowd for game one of the World Series poked a little fun at the New York Yankees fans who were sitting at home watching. The crowd could be heard chanting "We want Houston," mocking Yankees fans who roared the chant after clinching the ALDS.

Houston fans watching the game at home absolutely loved the crowd teasing the Yankees. Other fans pointed out that the crowd could be making fun of the Philadelphia Phillies, who were chanting the same slogan.

Fans on Twitter are certain this was directed more towards the Phillies when Houston had an early lead. Some fans think this may have been the reason why the Astros blew their five-run lead.

Whether directed at New York or Philadelphia, the chant seemed premature. While many of the fans in the crowd thought the team would cruise to victory after taking a five-run lead, that was not the case. Philadelphia came back to erase the deficit, before clinching it in an extra inning.

The Houston Astros can't count out the red-hot Philadelphia Phillies

Five runs would probably be enough for the Houston Astros to beat most teams in the league, except for the Phillies. They are never out of the game no matter how many runs they are down by. The Phillies seem to thrive when they're facing adversity.

The Houston Astros got out to an early 5-0 lead in the third inning, thanks to two home runs from Kyle Tucker. But the Phillies got to Justin Verlander during their second and third at-bats to score five unanswered runs to tie up the game.

It seems that this might have been the World Series start that Verlander was hoping for as he cruised through batters the first time around. He'll have to hope this series goes deep so he can pitch again and redeem himself.

Fans can rejoice as the 2022 World Series looks like it will be an exciting one with two top teams playing some of their best baseball of the season.
