God has given me a lot of ability to play the game of baseball.

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

I'll be a Houston Astro no matter what ... I would certainly want to leave myself open to a return to the team if that made sense for the organization and for me as well.

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

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 go game to game, at-bat to at-bat. That's my way.

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