' '' After spending the morning concentrating on packing the team's truck back to the Bay Area, Thalblum had jumped onto the bus for Tucson without loading a fairly important bit of equipment: the bats.

So the A's arrived at Tucson Electric Park for batting practice with just nine bats, a motley assortment of lesser models and castoffs.

Bobby Kielty was one of the few with his own bat on hand - until Dan Johnson borrowed it and broke it.

Assistant general manager David Forst and baseball operations analyst Farhan Zaidi arrived less than an hour before game time with a full supply of bats.

Until then, the team was good humored about it.

"I figure this is the same group that (was no-hit into the 10th inning) at Mesa the other day,'' manager Ken Macha said.

"So we don't need any bats here.'' The A's scored almost immediately, as Freddie Bynum hit his third triple of the spring and came in on a sacrifice fly by Marco Scutaro.

If you're waking up tired, that's not enough.

Go to bed 15 minutes earlier every night until you're not tired.

Q: What should everybody stop doing, like yesterday?

A: Tanking up on caffeine.

Looking for answers in energy drinks and energy bars.

Dwelling on the negative.

Plugging in, 24/7, to cell phones, pagers, computers, BlackBerries.

At some point at the end of the day, unplug.

Give yourself a break.

Q: You talk about wanting to reach out to help people.

How do you do that?

A: With free, 10-minute energy consultations.

Call me at 904-285-6842.

Or e-mail me at jon@jongordon.com.

It may take me a little time, but I'll get back to you.

Q: What do you do when you feel tired or bummed?

A: This isn't about “fake it till you make it.” If you're down, take the time to recharge.

Don't deny your feelings.

But don't feed the negativity, either.

Q: You refer to some people as energy vampires?

A: They're the ones who suck the energy right out of you.

Avoid them.

Q: What else?

A: Fill your life with joy and happiness, and do it consciously.

And don't tell me, “My life stinks, and you don't know what I'm dealing with.” My mom just found out she has cancer.

And I'm trying to say to myself, “OK, maybe it happened for a reason.

Maybe something good will come from this.” Sometimes moms and sons have a hard time talking.

So I'm going to write her a letter every day.

And the letters will be about hope and trust and trying to find the gift in what's go...
