You might have seen it on Twitter or Youtube: A reporter from Philadelphia’s Fox 29 did a live shot outside Minute Maid Park before Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday, October 29. The Phillies won the Series opener 6-5 in the 10th inning the night before.

The reporter said, “There was no factor at all with this Houston crowd. Really there was no vibe. You couldn’t tell it was a World Series game. It felt like a regular season game. There was more excitement at my daughter’s middle school volleyball game than there was a Minute Maid Park.”

What a crappy thing to say about us loyal Astros fans. Didn’t his mother teach him not to gloat? Is the reporter trying to make a name for himself as a hot takes, rabble rouser up in Philly? Hoping to get in good with Phillies management to get scoops? A shameless homer? Watch his "report" here:

Or just a cheap shot artist? Somebody check to see if he even has a daughter on the middle school volleyball team.

But you know something? Sad to say, the Fox reporter was absolutely right!

Both nights I was in a packed sports bar and we all noticed that Astros fans at the game were sitting on their hands. If you just panned the crowd and didn’t know it was a baseball game, a World Series game at that, you’d have thought it was a funeral.

And that was with the Astros jumping off to 5-0 leads both games. I know the stadium was SRO— so WTF!

There are some reasons for the somnambulistic (awesome word) crowd, but still, this is the Fall Classic. What else do you want from the Astros? This is the ultimate prize for the No. 1 favorite sports team in Houston. If you can’t get excited about the Astros in the World Series, maybe it’s time to see a qualified physician. Or Herman Munster.

Is it possible that we’re so used to the Astros playing in the World Series that we can’t get excited? Has the postseason become part of the Astros regular season? Has Astros excellence become boring?

The crowd for Game 2, an Astros victory with José Altuve coming alive and Framber Valdez mowing down the Phils was just as snoozy as Game 1. What’s it gonna take for the Minute Maid crowd to get that stadium quaking?

Maybe it’s because this is the World Series and tickets are sky-high expensive. The parking lots are jammed with Mercedes and up. The Diamond Club behind home plate — and on TV most shots — is shimmering with diamonds. You know how the River Oak crowd is, they pay their help to get excited for them. It’s difficult to clap when you’re sipping expensive chardonnay with your pinky extended.

If you think tickets are expensive here, what till Houston’s billionaires travel to Philadelphia. Tickets are twice as expensive up there. Our billionaires will return as mere millionaires. My heart goes out to them.

I spoke with my sports media guy Glen Macnow in Philadelphia. He said, “The crowd here (in Philly) is going to be LOUD! Our baseball crowds are like football crowds. Our football crowds are like British soccer crowds.”

What’s it going to take to light a fire under Minute Maid Park fans? You know, it isn’t like Houston has been Championship City lately. It’s not like we’re holding parades downtown and hoisting Super Bowl and NBA Finals banners at City Hall.

Last I looked, the Houston Texans are 1-5-1 in last place in the AFC South and the Houston Rockets are 1-6 and last in the Southwest Division.

There's an expression: You don't know what you got till it's gone. Well, we got the Astros in the World Series! Let's make a little noise about it.
