The Rocket is close to his family. He really enjoys spending a lot of time with his kids. I think that's part of the reason why when he came back, he came back to Houston. He has the luxury of being at home.
I've never seen that before. Sometimes they say things happen in threes, hopefully that's the end of it.
I've only played a couple of weeks. It's no different than any other season. It might be different because it's the beginning of the season, but everybody goes through stretches where they swing the bat well for a couple of weeks.
It was a little scary when he starting throwing punches, ... I was scared. I didn't want to get hit.
The season's not over. What if we win the division? We don't have to worry about Tampa Bay.
I stay in touch with him, but he hasn't said anything. He really hasn't.
I've been with Mo for 14 years, so I've seen everything he's done. It's mind-boggling to look at how consistent he has been over the years. He is one of the main reasons for the success of this organization.
I've been with Mo for 14 years. It's mind-boggling when you look at how consistent he's been all these years. I don't think anything he does amazes me anymore.
I've never had a chance to play for my country before. In that sense, I'm excited about it, curious to see what the atmosphere is going to be like. From what I understand, the fans are pretty excited about it. We'll see when we get out there.
The worst thing is, we were in a position to win. We were right in the position we wanted to be, in the ninth inning with Mo.
The season doesn't officially start till you get this one out of the way. Fortunately, we were able to sneak this one out.
These are some of the tools that we use.
Another one of those sit around and figure out the scenarios. That's about all you can say. We had our chances right from the first inning. We just didn't get any hits with guys on base. I'm well aware of what it takes to win. We just didn't do it.
Every year, it?s a new guy. Feel free (to stay over with Damon).
