I was thinking triple all the way. It's good, too, because it usually takes a triple to score Jorge.
We had chances, we had opportunities to score and we couldn't come up with hits. You can't give teams extra outs.
We had some opportunities to score early and we let Boomer off the hook.
It's easy to play when you score 15 runs with Randy Johnson pitching. But it'll take a while to find out how good we really are. But I like what I see so far.
I thought he battled. He lost some control in that one inning but kept us in the game. We had our opportunities to score but we couldn't come up with that big hit.
He's as tough as any pitcher in baseball. We tried to score early and Robby had the big hit.
Well, you don't have to look at the scoreboard anymore.
You'd assume that somebody would score yesterday. That's how it goes.
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.
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.
