You're confident (when he's on the mound. He's one of the top five starters in the game. You don't expect to lose that game.
It's been a long time, you know. I'm not greedy, I'm not selfish, just wanted go one time, ... I can't tell you how happy I am, it took us a long time and we've got 5 million people in Houston who are very pumped up right now.
Obviously, today four runs was enough, ... Andy pitched great and we played good defense. We had three double plays early that were big. The way the series started, that was a huge comeback to get two wins.
Everything had to work perfectly on that double play, and it did. It was an unbelievable ending.
You don't slap a New Jersey girl and get away with it.
She didn't want me to miss two days considering the players that we have out and how banged up we are now. Typical baseball mom, she's taking it for the team.
Some days, it's a real challenge to get the offense going. Our game relies on pitching, defense and timely hitting.
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.
I guess it's fitting. How many times did we get shut out this year?
Obviously, 600 doubles is a heck of a lot of doubles. I am real proud of it. I remember hitting 500 at home, and who knows if you are ever going to get to 600?
About 99.9 percent of the time he comes in, and it's game over. He's nasty, he's got good stuff. He's still got it. You tip your hat to any guy that can square up and catch up to it.
It would be nice to save him for last and then the fans could go crazy for two or three minutes.
Everyone can make their own decisions about what's going on. It's not for players to answer. It's just a tough situation right now.
Everybody is really contributing. When that's going on, it's a lot of fun.
