Roberts said. ''This is my team. It's special. It's doubly special for me. I missed school to watch this team play. I had dreams of playing for the Padres.
I'm proud of the way he carries himself out there. But I'd be proud of the way he carries himself if he wasn't playing baseball at all.
I wanted to thank her properly at the Hall of Fame, ... But I keep playing this silly game.
It took a lot of work from a lot of guys in this clubhouse. It made it worth the wait. It made it worth my decision to come back. Playing this time of year never gets old.
Teams were playing us tough anyway, but maybe more so after we got back in the race. The guys persevered, and this makes that trip back home a whole lot easier.
You're playing late in the year and the weather is getting cooler, it is nice to be part of that,
there are a handful of us that are a bit older and might not get that chance again.
There are a few guys (on the Mexican team) that we do know, that I'm able to recognize and realize what they can and can't do. But as it goes on now, we're able to get a little more film. I'll look over what Jake did, and some of our other right-handers, and then I'll make my assessment from there.

When Phil looked at me and said, 'Get your jersey and spikes on', he was dead serious about it,
The reason why I ended up stopping over there was my showing him respect back. They took the time out to come to Houston and speak to me about the future.
You have to be out there a long time,
You have to be mistake-free, so I was trying to be as stingy as possible.
