I don't know if anybody realizes what's really going on. But to have the most wins in the modern era, I think is pretty special.
All I asked was where the pitch was,
Our fans are the biggest key for us, that's where we get our energy from. Really the ballpark is just secondary right now for us, it's the fans that make a difference.
It's difficult for anybody to deal with all that stuff, all that negativity. There's no telling how different guys are gonna react.
A total professional who everybody respects. No matter what happens, he never complains. He's a competitor. He's the kind of guy you want on your team.
You can circle a couple guys' names who carried us all year long, and those five guys are probably at the top of the list.
We'd obviously like to give up less runs, but I think in the long run it will be nice that everybody got in the game today,
What we have now at the Port of Houston is a collection of docks that we operate and a variety of cargoes. At the port, there are 200 trading nations and 1,000 ports that deal with Houston.
I get paid a lot of money to play a game with the greatest players in the world. What could be better than that?
If it doesn't seem like I'm working hard sometimes, that's someone else's problem.
God, it's nice to be treated like a man.
Having the attitude of just playing the game isn't my strength. I have to be productive. That's my responsibility.
When I retire and I'm back at home with me kids, they're not going to care that I smiled too much on the field. They're not going to care what kind of team player I was.
I honestly think people are tired of reading about me.
