Or they are facing one of the best teams in baseball that don't want to be eliminated from the playoffs. I am no fan of the Astros but the term "choke" gets thrown around WAY too much.

6-2 lead in the 8th and they threw it away. Six outs away from an ALCS, I call it choking.
 
I give KC a lot of credit for coming back like that. But AJ Hinch screwed leaving our RP Harris in after he gave up 5 straight singles. Boneheaded move. Plus the infield shifts haven't worked as well as hinch hoped.

See, to me that just discredits a 95 win team but whatever...everything has to either be ZOMG EPIC CHOKE or ZOMG BEST WIN EVAR these days. Never mind the fact that KC is a damn good team that won 95 games because they have an offense that can make leads disappear in the blink of an eye. Hell, they did the same thing to the A's in the playoffs just last year.
