I've always enjoyed baseball, but even when I was a kid I can remember viewing it with a businesslike approach.

It is, ... kind of a softball atmosphere out there.

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.

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.

Living the Christian life is also challenging but for different reasons. The same desire to do well exists - to live a consistent life that honors and pleases the Lord. The big difference is that God isn't evaluating my actions and basing His love on how well I 'perform'. His love for me is unconditional. Even when I mess up He doesn't threaten to trade me off His team.
