All these games could've went the other way. I think it was more destiny for these guys than it was for us.
And sometimes, ... it might be a guy throwing something you might not want to know about.
It's the way to do it. You can't have total transition unless you want to have total failure.
It's been a long time, you know. I'm not greedy, I'm not selfish, just wanted to 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.

It's great to go back to pay respects.
I'm not out here to disrespect anybody, ... And obviously with Wags, I'm not. I just kind of hit it and I was like, man, I got it. I looked at it and just ran.
I'm glad it worked out and happened at home and my family was here, and the fans. At least we can take something positive out of it today.
I'm not greedy, I'm not selfish I just wanted to get to a World Series one time,
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.
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.
Mac originally drafted me in 1987, ... He and Yogi came to Seton Hall and watched me work out one day. Ever since then there's been a special bond. Over the years it got better and better to the point where he was almost like a father figure. He was such a great man. A lot of people didn't get a chance to see that side of him.
There was a soft side to him that a lot of people didn't get to know. He didn't let a lot of people in there. If you were in there, he was just like a dad. He'd give you anything. He was a giver, not a taker. That's the ultimate compliment.
