Oops.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott tweeted a congratulatory message to the Houston Astros on Monday when the team was up 6-2 in Game 4 of the American League Divisional Series. This would typically be a nice gesture, but the game hadn’t finished yet — and the Astros ended up losing to the Kansas City Royals, 9-6.

If Houston loses the series, this surely will be remembered as an even bigger gaffe than it is. The Governor also sent well wishes to the Texas Rangers in the tweet. Texas lost Game 4 of their ALDS series at home to the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-4, and will play a winner-take-all Game 5 later this week.
