ball singles win
We got two two-out singles from Berkman to win the ball game.
counting
We're not counting him out, but this is a day-to-day situation,
fine great hear himself job naturally pitchers rocket roy winner wonderful
He's a second-time 20-game winner and you don't hear much about it. Roy himself is not a self-promoter. He's very laid-back. He's very comfortable being in the back room. You have great personalities like the Rocket (Roger Clemens) and (Andy) Pettitte, who have done some wonderful things, so I think (the attention) naturally gravitates in their direction. But Roy has done a fine job for us and he's going to go down as one of the great pitchers in this decade.
focus good hard last pitchers ready tough
I thought our pitchers were very good today. It's a tough day, always the last day is a tough day. Everybody's ready to go, and it is hard to keep your focus going.
extra felt move pitcher pitchers
I felt like that in a seven-game series, that having 11 pitchers is probably going to be an important move to make. To have an extra pitcher on the roster would probably help.
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.
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.
hitting job ticked
I'm ticked off because we're not hitting well. We're just not getting the job done.
