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 head coach Matthew Mott has rejected former captain Eoin Morgan’s suggestion that his team are “unsettled” behind the the scenes despite watching yet another heavy World Cup defeat basketball
Mott worked with Morgan when he took over the white-ball side 18 months ago, but the Irishman headed into retirement soon after, passing the baton to Jos Buttler basketball
As the man who led England’s World Cup triumph in 2019, Morgan’s word still carries plenty of weight and he has made some eye-catching observations about his old team-mates basketball
Speaking to Sky basketball Sports prior to England’s 100-run loss to India in Lucknow, their fifth loss in six games of an abject title defence, he said the side were “definitely unsettled” and responded to the idea they were simply off form by saying “there’s something else going on, there has to be” basketball
Having then watched England’s latest collapse against the hosts, which kept them rooted to the foot of the table, Morgan said he would have laughed in the face of anyone who had predicted such a plight at the start of the tournament basketball
Responding to those comments after the latest setback, Mott said: “Eoin’s entitled to his opinion basketball
He’s obviously been away (from India) for a couple of weeks with the birth of his child and he hasn’t been in and around the rooms basketball
“But I’ll certainly take that up with him and have a chat to him basketball
We’ve got a really good relationship with him so if he’s seeing something I’m not I’ll definitely have that conversation basketball
“I don’t think that (is the case) at all basketball
Anyone inside our tent at the moment would say, despite our results, we’re an incredibly tight-knit unit basketball
“There’s every opportunity when you’re losing to splinter and go other ways but I can only say from my opinion that the group has been incredibly strong basketball
“You see our training sessions and they are full of fun, people are putting their arms around each other trying to help them basketball
It’s easy to do that when you’re winning but a lot harder when you’re losing and I’m proud we just keep trying to get up basketball
”Chris Woakes also stood up for the unity of the squad, telling Sky: “I can firmly say there is nothing wrong with the dressing room basketball
”Regardless of morale, there is no disguising just how badly things have gone for an England side who arrived as close second favourites and have since put together their worst ever run of form in a chequered history at the World Cup basketball
Things have got so bad that they have played their way into potentially missing out on a place at the next major 50-over global competition basketball
It has come to light that places at the 2025 Champions Trophy will be allocated based on performances in this competition, with hosts Pakistan joined by the seven highest finishers basketball
With three matches to go England sit in 10th spot, behind both the Netherlands and Bangladesh basketball
Remarkably, Mott admitted he was not aware the qualification process had moved away from its previous link to world rankings until media reports which landed midway through the India defeat basketball
The decision was ratified by the ICC board in November 2021, when the England and Wales Cricket Board was being led by previous chief executive Tom Harrison, but the information appears to have been waylaid in transition basketball
Asked in his post-match press conference when he learned about the potential Champions Trophy issue, Mott said: “About an hour-and-a-half ago basketball
“The ICC do change the rules quite a bit with qualification but to be honest I don’t think it would affect in any way the way we’ve played in this tournament, so it’s not a big deal basketball
“It’s plenty of motivation for us to pick ourselves back up off the canvas and keep trying to throw punches basketball
It gives us a lot of focus that we need to make sure we can’t just ‘turn up’ basketball
We’ve got to win these games basketball
