For some reason I wasn't able to make the consistent adjustment to keep me where I needed to be, and I battled.Chris Carpenter

I was sitting there thinking he's going to tryto throw him sliders, and he got a good one to hit. It was an unbelievable feeling. As soon as he hit it, you knew it was gone.
