Last year we got to really see what our crowds were all about in this building. They're your 10th guy.
I was safe here last year, but now I'm not safe anymore.
(Wednesday) was definitely a roller-coaster day. It was a close game, and then they tied it up with Bobby's big home run. Then they come back and scored and put us down. Willy not giving up and running all the way through the base gave us a chance. That was a nice game right there.
Was it worth the wait, or what? ... It's pretty sweet right now.
Was it worth the wait or what? Forty-four years is a long time everybody, but I tell you what -- it's all worth it. It's bittersweet right now. It feels great. We love you guys very much. It's an unbelievable feeling right now for everybody in that clubhouse and you guys should enjoy it just as much as we are.
Fans have been awesome to him and people have no idea how much pain this man's been through. This is why he came back. He came back to help us. Today he goes out and gets the game-winning RBI, and you couldn't have written a better script.
Without Rocket being around, nobody is going to fill those shoes. But Brandon is a big piece of our puzzle. He understands what he can and can't do. He is going to be a big part of this.
He really wanted it. He was really focused. That was probably the best I've seen him all year.
Here you go, son, here's a jersey from the guy who just homered off your dad.
He?s been phenomenal. He?s been a huge contributor for us and a big lift.
If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have a team, ... He kept the team in Houston. A lot of people don't understand that.
We've got to take care of our own business. If we don't do that, we could be sitting at home in a few weeks.
We've got to go back to their ballpark. We'll put this one behind us. We've been through too much this year not to. It hurts, but it's over. Move on.
I don't know. We'll keep going out there and playing. We'll focus on next year whenever that gets here.
