ball singles win
We got two two-out singles from Berkman to win the ball game.
basically couple ready
We're basically ready to go. We just have to make a couple decisions.
days
We didn't take them for granted, we just didn't show up offensively today. Some days we're going to get them and some day we're not.
felt good less might obviously pressure runner struggled third took
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.
counting
We're not counting him out, but this is a day-to-day situation,
fastball good guy nice primary stayed unusually
He had a pretty nice fastball and he was locating it pretty good and they just stayed with it all night. It was kind of an unusually pitched game. You don't see a guy use primary fastballs but he was locating where he wanted and they stayed with it and he did a nice job.
dead fastball
He's hot. We all know he's a dead fastball hitter.
fastball guy life nice night primarily stayed unusually
He did a very nice job. He had a pretty nice fastball and was locating it pretty well, and they just stayed with it all night long. It was kind of an unusually pitched game. You don't see a guy use primarily fastballs. He had a little life on it.
fast roy sets throws works
Roy comes out, throws strikes, works at a fast pace. That sets the tempo.
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.
balls complete guy pitches throws
The guy throws 95 pitches and pitches a complete ballgame, so we didn't put too many balls in play.
remembered series win
If you can get into the World Series and win the World Series in Houston, you can be remembered forever.
electric people wound
I just think it would be electric for the city. People are just so wound up.
