#Astros down 7-1 in the 4th to the Twins, come back to win 9-7. Not the first time Astros have done this to this team. I remember watching this 2017 game and thinking, wow, this team is really good. www.crawfishboxes.com/2020/5/25/21...

I always imagined that I would know I was in a midlife crisis when the lyrics "the child is grown, the dream is gone" hit differently. What I learned is that I have been in midlife crisis since the age of 18.
