bench best extra guys help sharp step
Extra guys have to be sharp, too. Biggio's our best player, and that's why he's out there. But you still have to have your bench guys sharp enough to help you when you need them to step up and come up with a hit.
answer best event love move possible today
I'd love to have an answer today that he would come back. In the event that that's not going to happen, this is the best possible scenario, to move forward.
baseball best might money player somewhere
He might be the best all-around player in baseball today. If we're going to put our money somewhere ...
anybody balance best exact soon terrific umpires upset
I'd just as soon us do what we do, ... I can get as upset with the umpires as anybody but on balance they do a terrific job. These are our best umpires, and it's not an exact science.
ball best dig hole last looked played rest turned
You don't want to dig yourself a hole we can't get out of. It looked like we'd done that last year, and it turned out we played our best ball the last part of May through the rest of the year.
although best both control downhill game gets great heat high hope looks people pitch seen sides
I feel that we have not seen his best game, although I can see why people are very high on him. He has a great downhill tilt, he looks like when he gets his game together, he can control both sides of the plate. He's down in the zone. I would hope he would go down there and pitch right from the get-go and put a little heat on us up here.
pick scientific
Pick 'em out of a hat. We just need somebody. Nothing scientific in the formula.
stuck top
No, ... He snow-coned it. Stuck to the top of his glove.

The guy throws 95 pitches and pitches a complete ballgame, so we didn't put too many balls in play.

If you can get into the World Series and win the World Series in Houston, you can be remembered forever.

I just think it would be electric for the city. People are just so wound up.
fortunate works
He's puffed up pretty good. I think he'll be able to play on Friday. We're fortunate to have the off-day tomorrow. That works well.
coming games good job ours runs somehow time trait typical
It's just something that's been a trait of ours all year, but we managed to win. It's like some of our typical games and somehow we managed to get through it. We didn't eke one out this time and that's unfortunate because we had been doing a pretty good job of coming up with runs somehow.
factor
I think it was a factor for Andy. It started to swell up, ... Unbelievable.
