Motivational, Inspirational, Funny Quotes
![I'm sitting [in the dugout] thinking that we've got the best closer in the game on the mound, but we also have the best hitter in the game at the plate. I was sitting there thinking he's going to tryÃÂ to 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. - Chris Carpenter Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=SSdtIHNpdHRpbmcgW2luIHRoZSBkdWdvdXRdIHRoaW5raW5nIHRoYXQgd2UndmUgZ290IHRoZSBiZXN0IGNsb3NlciBpbiB0aGUgZ2FtZSBvbiB0aGUgbW91bmQsIGJ1dCB3ZSBhbHNvIGhhdmUgdGhlIGJlc3QgaGl0dGVyIGluIHRoZSBnYW1lIGF0IHRoZSBwbGF0ZS4gSSB3YXMgc2l0dGluZyB0aGVyZSB0aGlua2luZyBoZSdzIGdvaW5nIHRvIHRyecODwoLDgsKgdG8gdGhyb3cgaGltIHNsaWRlcnMsIGFuZCBoZSBnb3QgYSBnb29kIG9uZSB0byBoaXQuIEl0IHdhcyBhbiB1bmJlbGlldmFibGUgZmVlbGluZy4gQXMgc29vbiBhcyBoZSBoaXQgaXQsIHlvdSBrbmV3IGl0IHdhcyBnb25lLiA=&author=ICBDaHJpcyBDYXJwZW50ZXIgICAg&num=13 "I'm sitting [in the dugout] thinking that we've got the best closer in the game on the mound, but we also have the best hitter in the game at the plate.

![[One of Carpenter's hardest pitches started with the softest of tosses. With the pitching coach who taught him the cutter, Mel Queen, Carpenter would stand about 15 to 20 feet away and fling the new pitch.] I was just lobbing it to the point Mel was catching it with his bare hands, ... I was just lobbing it to feel it come off my hand and feel the spin it was supposed to have. - Chris Carpenter Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=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&author=ICBDaHJpcyBDYXJwZW50ZXIgICAg&num=9 "[One of Carpenter's hardest pitches started with the softest of tosses.
