"If I'd been in Milwaukee watching a game and missed that moment with Koby, that would have been the worst," he said. "That's the hardest he has ever hugged me. I told him that's why we love what we do. We love this game."

That hug tells you why he's not leaving the Astros, why this is the last big-league uniform he'll wear. No matter what you read or hear, remember that hug.

"I won't ask to be traded," he said. "Even if the Astros want to trade me, they're going to have to sell it to me.

"I fought for a long time to come home and play. I didn't think it would be this good."

We will see if Roger holds up to his bargain.

I still think the Stros will be good.
