That two-run homer in the first inning kind of deflated us a little bit. We started out walking two or three guys, and then they made us pay. That's the way it goes sometimes.

With what Barry Bonds might accomplish this year, I think (the steroid allegations) taint it a little bit. How many would he have really hit now? It's not going to improve his hand-eye coordination, but would the baseball have gone that far if he wouldn't have been using steroids?

Mark did a spectacular job for us during some of the most difficult periods in our financial markets.

They just got into us defensively and we didn't step up to the pressure offensively. We have been seeing a lot of zone (defenses) lately and the girls haven't been use to running a man-to-man offense. We were kind of slow with it. We just weren't getting each other open.

We could also feel bullets striking the floor beneath us. Fortunately, it was metal plate, so they did not penetrate.

That was a tough second half for us. Our screening and passing weren't there, and our shots weren't falling. It's like the second half was a complete reversal of the first.
