We got two two-out singles from Berkman to win the ball game.

We're basically ready to go. We just have to make a couple decisions.

We've struggled so much in getting the runner in from third with less than two outs, so it obviously felt good doing that. I think it took the pressure off everybody. Might have led to the three-run homer, too.

We're not counting him out, but this is a day-to-day situation,

Chuck continued to manage because he said that's exactly what his mom wanted him to do. He said, 'She wanted me to get to the World Series, but she wanted me to see it through,' and he did.

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.

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.
