Opinion: As Astros' swagger returns, it faces only thing that could stop it: Atlanta's home-field advantage

HOUSTON — Astros rookie center fielder Jose Siri welcomed All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve to the press conference stage as Siri sat with his sweatsuit unzipped halfway down his chest, exposing his gold chains. 

Altuve, who doubled and homered in the Astros’ 7-2 win Wednesday night over Atlanta to even the World Series at one game apiece, plopped down on the chair next to Siri and then quickly grabbed his arm.

Siri took off his gold ring, grabbed Altuve’s hand and placed his ring on Altuve’s finger.

What in the world is going on, inquiring minds wanted to know?

“He's just giving me his ring, so I can flash ...  bling," Altuve said.
