Our lineup's been thin all year. We played without three guys for three or four out of six months. We'll be all right.

We've got a lot of things working for us right now. We came up short in Chicago, but we played well two of the three games. We could easily be 6-1 and not 4-3. We'll take what we've got and work with it.
It's a pretty big honor, obviously. A lot of great players. I don't know if I've been here long enough to really deserve it, but I don't really know how many guys played here that long. But it's an honor.
I think it might be why I struggled in the World Series,
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.
He was outstanding, ... When we got guys on base he made the pitches. He pitched a great game.
I actually started thinking about it right before he gave up the hit. He's got that potential. That game he pitched in Toronto last year was probably the best game I ever saw pitched.
He didn't really seem reserved or cautious or anything else about it. We know it's important to other people, and we hope that they remember all the great things that he did here.
If we had a full complement and the airport had a full complement, we could do a better job to make sure more containers are inspected.
If they don't pick (the option) up, I don't know how many opportunities there are going to be for me to play. I'm going to approach it like this season will be one of the last ones I have. Hopefully, they'll allow me to come back. But if they don't, I have to be ready for Plan B.
