I didn't even know he was hitting behind me,

We've got to go back to their ballpark. We'll put this one behind us. We've been through too much this year not to. It hurts, but it's over. Move on.

Some days, it's a real challenge to get the offense going. Our game relies on pitching, defense and timely hitting.

You know, it was going to happen sooner or later. We understand that. Whether it's another year, another two years, whatever, we know it's going to happen. We know nobody can play forever. But for now, the thing I'm happy about the most is that he's down here and he's getting the opportunity to play. And he's such a professional, if he can't play, he'll let you know it.

Carrying the what? What's the mantle. Like the mantle on the fireplace? Or Mickey Mantle? ... Well, obviously, we want to get it done. We've dedicated ourselves to the city of Houston and this organization.

I very easily could have popped it up, but I was able to square it up and we get out of here with another win.
