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.
Everyone can make their own decisions about what's going on. It's not for players to answer. It's just a tough situation right now.
Everybody is really contributing. When that's going on, it's a lot of fun.
The biggest thing with Andy was getting his velocity back. Everybody in here knew that once he did, you're going to see what you saw before. When he's throwing that cutter at 83-84-85 miles an hour last year and getting away with it then, you could only imagine what it was going to be like when he started getting it up to 90-91.
It's a lot like it must be here with the Seahawks making it to the Super Bowl for the first time. People who thought they'd never see anything like it got to experience something very special for the first time. To be one of the members of that team was such a thrill.
It's a lot of years. Not many guys get the opportunity to play their whole career with one organization, and I'm very happy.
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.
It's just fun coming to the park now. The fans are pretty pumped up, too.
It's a tough loss. We've been through a lot of adversity all season long. We've been able to bounce back and come back.
It was execution, just doing the little things right in order to win.
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.
