The always-important last at-bat. That's big, especially here.
I think this was a great game for both teams, I really do.
I was a little worried about how I would do today - we've been playing pretty well since I came out of the lineup - but I wanted to get in there and take a little pressure off Albert.
I was just trying to get comfortable with how I was going to approach the end of my career. I wasn't asking for it. I was asking what the timing might be.
I was just figuring it would be a double. It was one of those things, a break for us.
That didn't feel great, so I left it for the day. We'll try again tomorrow.
I was trying to hit on top of the ball. That was making me hit the ball out front. I did it so much it turned into my swing. That's not me. When I hit the ball to left-center field, I'm not trying to hit it there. It's just my natural swing.
I was trying to figure out where the balls and strikes and the outs are posted today. Those are things you get comfortable with as a player. When you have to start looking for them all over again, it takes some adjusting.
I saw his postseason record was 1-5, and I was really surprised, ... I remember some of the games he pitched -- two hits, one run against Arizona a couple years ago. He's a big-game pitcher.
Roger pitched a Roger game. They got two great pitching performances and we haven't been able to score. But if we win tomorrow, we're even. There's a lot of games left to play.
What we have now at the Port of Houston is a collection of docks that we operate and a variety of cargoes. At the port, there are 200 trading nations and 1,000 ports that deal with Houston.
He's as good as it gets. What else can I say?
He's been rock-solid. He's been steady, solid and strong and he's been swinging the bat good. He's been picking me up a lot lately.
He's been getting out of them for 20 years, ... If you don't take advantage, you have no chance.
