Now, we sit back and watch Roy do his thing.
I want to go watch it again, just to look at the details of everything that happened,
The fact of the matter is I wouldn't be here if I didn't have a chance to watch these kids,
That type of game is the best to be a part of. That's why you come back to pitch. You have to work for everything in a game like that. To watch the hitters persevere at the end was tremendous. One guy fed off the next. It ended up turning into something of a laugher, and that game was anything but.

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 just go to the ballpark and watch as the media buzz around me. Especially if the Red Sox are playing. I hang out on the field before the game. I visit the clubhouses. The rumors start flying like base hits off one of those South African pitchers we faced in the World Baseball Classic. Good times.
If you asked me today, I'm doing the world baseball deal and (then) I'm going to go watch baseball.
I'm going to kick back and watch some baseball. I'm not ready to commit. Even being at home and pitching in Houston was a tough grind. ... Right now, I'm not interested in getting in there and locking in on this. If it works out and I can just fade away, that's what's going to happen.

We tried to encourage him on many occasions to come out and work with us. He was a big-bodied kid. It was a lot of fun when he started showing up in the mornings, working with us. We had fun and got to know him better.
We were like two tired old men walking out of the tunnel, and then we were like two kids having a good time. We were holding each other up.
When I step away from the game, our game is in good hands. We have some good, young talented players, everyday guys, and definitely pitchers. He's right there at the top of the list. You feel you pass the baton along to the next generation of guys. I think the fans out here will enjoy this kid for a long time.
I've never really been nervous at all in my playoff experiences,
