If you look at it, we have a pretty decent history of playing well without some of our main guys. Last year I was out for five weeks and the offense went nuts. Tim Hudson was hurt too, and Mark Mulder missed some time when he was here, too. But we've always found a way to get through it, and knowing that helps right now, definitely.
More Quotes from Eric Chavez:
I know. That's how good Joe was. In this environment, it's a big deal, and I've seen a lot of our guys go out there pretty timid at times. But there was nothing timid about Blanton. I thought he had really good stuff tonight, and he just went after guys with it.Eric Chavez
I don't care about the results. It doesn't matter the lineup. I just work on my approach.

Chicago had it. And you look at a team like the Angels, going back to when they won it all in 2002, they had it, too. They still do, as a matter of fact. They've had it for a long time, and they've done a lot of winning.

Gerald told me not to worry about spring. I could go 0-for-30 and still get ready for April. I didn't want to play catch up again. My timing was always off in April. When I watched video, the biggest difference was in April I was out in front of the ball, reaching for it. In August I let it get deeper and used my hands more. I just need my lower half for balance. My hands are good, my wrists are good and I have some pop. I need to allow then to work.

By this time of year, we've heard Beane throw three or four tantrums. So far -- none. He won't say it, but he relishes the fact that everyone counted us out, and here we are.

He didn't hit the panic button. He wasn't putting the blame on anybody, wasn't pointing the finger at anyone. He told us we're gonna still come to the field and improve ourselves every day. He handled it the way a professional should handle it.
