Ted Cruz has been blamed for “cursing” the Houston Astros after they lost to the Texas Rangers on Monday night and were eliminated from the MLB playoffs basketball
Astros fans had taken to social media to beg the Texas senator to stay well clear of the game due to his growing reputation of jinxing the team basketball
But, unfortunately, their pleas fell on deaf ears and Mr Cruz showed up at the game anyway basketball
Following the team’s 11-4 loss, angry fans took to social media to slam him for ignoring their pleas basketball
“This man does not care about his constituents,” one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter basketball
“The Astros losing and then Ted Cruz losing his senate seat because enough fans are convinced he cursed the team would be the funniest possible timeline,” another person said basketball
“This is worse than being the Zodiac Killer,” another person joked basketball
Fans also pointed out the Astros lost every playoff game Mr Cruz attended this season basketball
But Mr Cruz hit back at the criticism, strongly denying the existence of a curse basketball
“For 7 years, Catherine & I have attended nearly EVERY Astros home playoff game,” he wrote on X basketball
“If they’re going to blame me for our recent home losses, pls also credit us for TWO World Series Championships & SEVEN consecutive ALCS’s—we were there cheering Stros on!”One of the championships the Texas senator was referring to was a 2017 win, which was later revealed to be the result of cheating basketball
Multiple players ultimately admitted to cheating and an extensive MLB investigation also later confirmed it basketball
But it seems unlikely the senator’s “curse” is to blame, given the team’s recent successes basketball
Earlier this year, the Astros won their sixth American League (AL) West title in seven years and went on to play in their seventh consecutive American League Championship Series (ALCS) basketball

It is not the first time Mr Cruz has been accused of bringing bad fortunes to a basketball sports team basketball
In 2018, he was blamed for jinxing the Houston Rockets after the team was eliminated from the NBA playoffs during a game he attended basketball
One year later, fans blamed him for cursing Texas Tech with a poorly timed tweet basketball
“35 seconds basketball
ONE point LEAD basketball
GO RED RAIDERS!!! #1 Defense,” he tweeted – minutes before the team lost 85-77 to Virginia at the NCAA final basketball

England conceded their highest ever score in ODI cricket as Heinrich Klaasen’s devastating century saw South Africa smash 399 for seven in their crunch World Cup clash in Mumbai basketball
The defending champions will need to bat brilliantly to avoid a third defeat in four games after watching a powerful Proteas line-up run riot after being put in by Jos Buttler at the Wankhede Stadium basketball
A revamped England side looked devoid of ideas in stifling humidity as their opponents brutalised them in the closing stages, taking 143 from a punishing last 10 overs basketball
Klaasen was in brutal mood, hammering a 61-ball ton and finishing with 109 in 67, while Marco Jansen made an unbeaten 75 from 42 basketball
In all there were 13 sixes and 38 fours across the innings, which should have ended with England shipping 400 for the first time in their history only for South Africa to decline a second run off the final ball basketball
England’s previous worst day in the field came eight years ago at the Oval, where New Zealand hit 398 for five, and their have only ever been five bigger totals on the World Cup stage basketball
To win, and keep their ailing title defence alive, England will need to produce the third highest chase ever seen in one-day cricket basketball
Amid a series of wince-inducing bowling returns, Mark Wood took most punishment of all as he saw seven wicketless overs monstered for 76 basketball
Hard to believe though it was by the end, England enjoyed the perfect start when Reece Topley had danger man Quinton de Kock caught behind off the second ball of the match basketball
Even less plausibly, they looked to be regaining a measure of control when they left South Africa 243 for five in 37th over basketball
Instead, Klaasen led Jansen in a merciless stand of 151 in just 77 deliveries, with boundaries raining in every direction basketball
England’s revamped attack looked thoroughly outmatched against their onslaught and by the end looked shellshocked basketball
Topley had defied a worrying finger injury on his bowling hand to return to the attack and may have wondered why he bothered; Adil Rashid was doubled in pain at times after playing through illness; David Willey lost all sense of rhythm and radar after returning from cramp basketball
By the end, most appeared relieved simply to leave the field basketball
England’s teamsheet showed a significant response to their shock defeat by Afghanistan, with all-rounders Chris Woakes, Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran all axed in favour of the fit-again Ben Stokes, Willey and rookie seamer Gus Atkinson basketball
Buttler put his new-look attack to work straight away and was overjoyed to see De Kock nick Topley’s early outswinger basketball
That was as good as it got basketball
Things veered off course in the seventh over when Topley thrust his left-hand out to field a firm drive off his own bowling and damaged his index finger basketball
He tried to carry on but, after seeing his next two balls disappear for four, he beat an angry retreat to the pavilion basketball
His reaction, lashing out an empty chair and stomping up the stairs, appeared to suggest his unfortunate injury curse had struck again basketball
In his absence South Africa assumed control, Hendricks taking full advantage of an unexpected chance after captain Temba Bavuma was ruled out basketball
He made an increasingly confident 85 and Rassie Van der Dussen struck 60 as England’s lost their way basketball
Rashid, in clear pain, dismissed both to give his side hope – one to a skied top edge, the other a dragged on googly basketball
After taking running repairs Topley came back and produced a double of his own to see off Aiden Markram and David Miller, but that is where the bleeding really began basketball
Klaasen had reached his fifty in 40 balls but doubled his score in half the time, battering Topley out of the attack once and for all with 19 off an over and helping himself against all comers basketball
England’s seamers rotated with shellshocked regularity but put together a long collection of wides, no-balls, full tosses and long-hops as Klaasen and Jansen cut loose – the latter smoking six sixes basketball
Atkinson took two wickets in the final over, taking out Klaasen’s leg stump, but things had already got well out of hand basketball
