The speech by Lance came after their second World Series back to their clubhouse, and the celebration was about to begin. But it did not get the appreciation from the fans that Lance might be looking for after the video went up on Twitter. When talking about the game, the Dusty Baker-led team controlled the entire game. Whether it was from the mound or the plate, the Astros did not give a chance to the National League champs.
