I want to be a guy who produces runs, who drives in runs, who can beat you with a single or can beat you with a home run, who's just a tough out.

I want to play every game of my career in an Astros uniform.

If you gave me a choice between being married and being a baseball player, that's a no-brainer. I would be married any day. I just love it.

What comes first, the chicken or the egg? You start out bad, you don't really feel right, you don't have the same explosion, then you start to lose confidence, you start to doubt your ability. It's a snowball effect.

I almost feel guilty. The physical toll is tremendous. Im exhausted and I only played nine innings.

Its unbelievable, I cant even describe it. To be a big part of bringing the World Series the first World Series ever to Houston is just tremendous.

Theres a little more margin for error this year. Last year, it felt like we had to win every game. That wasnt a lot of fun.
