They caught a break and their best hitter came up, and that's that, ... This stings. It's hard. But the umps do a great job. Things happen so fast out there.
That's the first time I've ever faced Billy. He threw me a fastball in, then inside again. The last pitch was 99 mph, so I could have popped it up.
That's a baseball mom. I thought it was pretty admirable of my mom. She said she understands the amount of injuries we have around here, and the time of year it is, and she felt bad about it.
It's strange, him not being here in the clubhouse. But today I was just elated, the way the crowd showed their support for him. I was proud to be an Astro, and I'm proud to be his friend.
It's indescribable, I've waited so long for this to happen,
We just go out and do what we're told, and he's really making all the right moves. He's just really doing a great job.
We had a Saturday day game, and we went out, and I had dinner and a couple beers and went home to bed, ... It was hot. By the third or fourth inning, I wasn't sure where I was.
Everything had to work perfectly on that double play, and it did. It was an unbelievable ending.
Bobby Cox is one of the greatest managers of all time,
We want to get to the World Series, ... It's all about the World Series. Hopefully, it's meant to be for us. We don't know yet.
This one has to rank up there as maybe the best, coming from a long way back. That just tells a lot about the guys in this clubhouse.
We didn't know this kid and he's been pitching real well for them and they're real high on him,
We had some bad angles. Overthrowing the cutoff man. You can't do that. Tonight was just a bad night.
They got some guys on and we had one bad play. But, once again, they've got a good team over there, and for us to come out here and take two out of three, we'll take it.
