"I think the progress we've (2008 Houston Astros) made this year and the overall structure of the club we've had on the field for the lion's share of the season has been rewarding and gratifying in its own way. From a talent standpoint, we have work to do. We know that. Even the team that ultimately does have a parade will have work to do. That's the nature of our game." - Houston Astros General Manager Ed Wade (MLB.com, Alyson Footer, 10/02/2008) |
