Eric Chavez Playing Quotations

I think Frank will come in early one day when no one's around and start playing it. They've both been great.

We were made a mockery of in the first two months and here we are in September still playing for something. We've come through a lot. It's not a burden to be playing for the playoffs. There are a lot of teams making vacation plans.

We felt like we were playing with house money when they failed to run home on that ball.

We got lucky. They had a brain cramp. The rest of the game, we were playing with house money. ... I think the guys smelled blood in the water.

We got lucky. They had a brain cramp, and the rest of the game we were playing with house money.

I started scoreboard-watching three or four weeks ago; that's when you know things are starting to get interesting. It's not a burden to be playing for the playoffs. This is the time of the year when every game counts, every pitch counts. It's an honor to be able to play for something when other teams are making vacation plans.

A lot of teams do score early and kind of shut it down. It was just a refreshing day for everybody, I think, especially the coaching staff. We've been playing some tight ballgames and they've been able to sit back and relax and enjoy this one.

It's no secret that they're really good. To be honest, I don't think we'll win the wild card. I think they'll win the wild card. I like that team and the way they're playing right now. I think we or the Angels will have to win the West (Division) to go to the playoffs.
