Texas Governor's Twitter Account Prematurely Sends Congratulations to the Houston Astros for Advancing the ALCS
By Jason Lisk
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is a social media star. Today, after the Astros took a 6-2 lead in the bottom of the 7th, the Governor’s official account tweeted (then deleted) congratulations to Houston for advancing to the ALCS (a screen grab of which is included below).
Greg Abbott also commented on the Dallas Cowboys’ defense and the Texas border. Since that tweet went out, the Astros gave up 7 runs to lose 9-6 and will be going to a Game 5 on Wednesday. The Rangers are trailing 7-1 and could also be heading for a Game 5.
