It's the only way we know how to do it. We can win 10-9 or 2-1. It's just something that over the last three or four years, we have no idea on how to blow another team out. I think a lot of guys in here are used to the tough games.
It's one brother's love for another brother. It started small and has grown into what it is today.
It's strange, him not being here in the clubhouse. But today I was just elated, the way the crowd showed their support for him. I was proud to be an Astro, and I'm proud to be his friend.
I can't tell you how happy I am. It's been a long time.
Obviously, he was the President of the United States, but he's just a normal person, a down to earth guy.
Last year we got to really see what our crowds were all about in this building. They're your 10th guy.
It's a lot like it must be here with the Seahawks making it to the Super Bowl for the first time. People who thought they'd never see anything like it got to experience something very special for the first time. To be one of the members of that team was such a thrill.

This one has to rank up there as maybe the best, coming from a long way back. That just tells a lot about the guys in this clubhouse.
We tried some of that the other day. That's hard,
We had a Saturday day game, and we went out, and I had dinner and a couple beers and went home to bed, ... It was hot. By the third or fourth inning, I wasn't sure where I was.
There are certain guys who get good jumps on balls, and there are other guys who see the bat head coming through and they know where the ball's going. That's Adam. You just take it for granted.
