We had our opportunities. We were in it until the last inning. We put pressure on them.
They're all special. It seems like the season hasn't really officially started until we play our home opener.
The bottom line is it's never over until the last out. If you've done something before, you always think you can do it again.
In the end, it was fun. I would recommend it to anyone that has the opportunity next time it comes around. It was a fun experience, right up until tonight.
(The fans) were with him until he got picked off second.
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.
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.
I've never had a chance to play for my country before. In that sense, I'm excited about it, curious to see what the atmosphere is going to be like. From what I understand, the fans are pretty excited about it. We'll see when we get out there.
