It could be a week, it could be two or three weeks. Rib cages are slow to heal.

I had a lot of maintenance my first year because we had six outfielders, so there were three guys every day who were pissed off because they weren't in the lineup. Last year we started with three first baseman and there was maintenance there. They were all veteran guys. This year we haven't had that.

For me, it's better to be out for a week or two weeks, than be out for three months. It doesn't feel as bad as what they say, but I've never had a groin injury, so I don't know how long it will be. I don't feel I'll be out that long, for some reason. I don't know. I have to wait to put my stuff on, see how I feel.

It was difficult a week ago, it was difficult two weeks ago, and it was difficult three weeks ago. And now, it's even more difficult. We have to win the games. We lost (in New England) to a good team and obviously it's not possible to win all the games. Sometimes you lose and New England has a good team. I think they're a better team than we are. We lost the game on the field, it's not the end of the world.

It could be any time. It could be next week or three weeks from now.

He did it just about like the last few weeks. We'll come back next week with a three-quarters or so work Saturday or Sunday and we're all set.
