The Rocket is close to his family. He really enjoys spending a lot of time with his kids. I think that's part of the reason why when he came back, he came back to Houston. He has the luxury of being at home.
You have to enjoy that situation. You can't be afraid of failing. You have confidence if you've had success in the past. I've done it before, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be successful again.
I enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone who had the chance to play. It was a good experience besides the results.
I don't have to sell Rocket on playing in New York. He's had success here and he enjoyed his time here.
We've just got to take it one day at a time, one inning at a time. But this is fun. You've got to enjoy playing when the games really mean something.
I like to dance and sing when there's no one around, but, if I'm out, I'm really shy about it. So it takes a lot to get me going, but I enjoy being around music.
I don't need to sell Rocket on coming here. He knows what it's like. He enjoyed his time here.
I've never seen that before. Sometimes they say things happen in threes, hopefully that's the end of it.
I've only played a couple of weeks. It's no different than any other season. It might be different because it's the beginning of the season, but everybody goes through stretches where they swing the bat well for a couple of weeks.
It was a little scary when he starting throwing punches, ... I was scared. I didn't want to get hit.
The season's not over. What if we win the division? We don't have to worry about Tampa Bay.
I stay in touch with him, but he hasn't said anything. He really hasn't.
I've been with Mo for 14 years, so I've seen everything he's done. It's mind-boggling to look at how consistent he has been over the years. He is one of the main reasons for the success of this organization.
I've been with Mo for 14 years. It's mind-boggling when you look at how consistent he's been all these years. I don't think anything he does amazes me anymore.
