He's an aggressive manager. He's not afraid to make changes and make adjustments or put certain plays on. We just go out and do what we're told, and he's making all the right moves.
I asked for two hats. As long as he brings them back, we'll let him slide. But he's got to be a little fan-friendly down there. We have to protect our interests.
I'm not out here to disrespect anybody, ... And obviously with Wags, I'm not. I just kind of hit it and I was like, man, I got it. I looked at it and just ran.
I'm glad it worked out and happened at home and my family was here, and the fans. At least we can take something positive out of it today.
I'm not greedy, I'm not selfish I just wanted to get to a World Series one time,
I'm really happy, really proud, that our fans stepped up and gave an unbelievable ovation for Baggy. He's not an overly emotional guy, but I know that touched him.
The Fred Hutchinson Award, when you look at the names of the people that are on that, it means a lot. Whether athletes want to accept it or not, you are a role model.
The guy slapped her and ran. She ran after him. You don't slap a New Jersey girl and get away with it. My brother-in-law wound up putting the guy against the wall. That's pretty sorry.
The guy goes into the stands. How'd he pull it out? If I was a fan, I would've mauled him.
And sometimes, ... it might be a guy throwing something you might not want to know about.
All these games could've went the other way. I think it was more destiny for these guys than it was for us.
You know that play is going to be real close, ... I don't know if he would have gotten me or not because I hit it off the end and it was spinning funny. It's just one of those situations where you always run it out and you always get an opportunity.
You couldn't have scripted it any better than that. The guy came back and he's not supposed to be back. He took a risk and a gamble to have the surgery and help us. I couldn't be any more happier for him. This was one of those days when it was a special moment to have the uniform on, and it couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.
Carrying the what? What's the mantle. Like the mantle on the fireplace? Or Mickey Mantle? ... Well, obviously, we want to get it done. We've dedicated ourselves to the city of Houston and this organization.
