I guess it's fitting -- how many times were we shut out this year? -- to get shut out in our final game.
I guess it's fitting. How many times did we get shut out this year?
We were two, tired old men walking out there, holding each other up, letting the kids celebrate. I went to the training room and passed out.
We executed and we came out with a victory.
We got contributions form everybody up and down the lineup, and we needed everybody to pitch in. You can't leave it up to one guy. Hopefully everybody can pitch in and contribute. Tonight was a nice comeback.
We finally have another opportunity with the Cardinals. We have a shot. You only get a few chances like this in your career.
Us? We don't know how to do that. Are you kidding me? There's no way. We did score three runs today, so that's a good thing. It's a big step in the right direction.
Wags threw him two sliders that ate up his knuckles a little bit, ... He just was able to battle and stay alive. Like Willy does, he puts the ball in play and gave us a chance.
Wags' got great stuff. We know Wags. We love him like a brother. We played together with him for almost 10 years, but when you're competing, you're competing. That means he wants to get you out and we want to win a ballgame.
Today we just took our lumps. We came across a good pitcher, and he pitched well and hit his spots.
You know, it was going to happen sooner or later. We understand that. Whether it's another year, another two years, whatever, we know it's going to happen. We know nobody can play forever. But for now, the thing I'm happy about the most is that he's down here and he's getting the opportunity to play. And he's such a professional, if he can't play, he'll let you know it.
It's been a long time, you know. I'm not greedy, I'm not selfish, just wanted to go one time, ... I can't tell you how happy I am, it took us a long time and we've got 5 million people in Houston who are very pumped up right now.

It's great to go back to pay respects.
