Game 4 of the World Series saw the Houston Astros even up the series at two games apiece thanks to a dominant no-hitter from the Astros pitching staff. After the win on Wednesday, the Astros took to social media to troll Phillies fans with an infamous picture of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.
The Astros social media team posted a picture of Hurts during a post-game press conference he had while with the Eagles where he was wearing a Houston Astros hat.

They followed this post up with another that had the hilarious caption “No hits? That Hurts”.

Hurts grew up in Houston, so it certainly makes it an awkward moment when his hometown team is taking on his current town’s team in a World Series matchup.
Many took to social media to applaud the Astros for this hilarious post on Wednesday night.

What makes this even more awkward is the Eagles’ incoming matchup with the Houston Texans on Thursday night falling on the same night as Game 5 of the World Series between the Phillies and Astros.
The first pitch for Thursday’s game will come just 12 minutes before kickoff in Thursday Night Football, so both Houston and Philadelphia fans will need to make a tough decision on which game to watch.
It will be a particularly difficult decision for Philadelphia fans considering the Eagles’ 7-0 start to the season along with the huge stakes in Game 5 of the World Series.
Regardless, this hilarious post from the Astros social media team will certainly make Philadelphia fans hate the Astros even more than they already do.
