Having seen their 10-game lead over the rest of the AL East evaporate and facing a weekend showdown with the Baltimore Orioles, with whom they now share the division lead, the New York Yankees on Wednesday did what struggling teams have done throughout baseball history.They called a team meeting.At around 4:50 p.m. ET, a little more than two hours before a game in which they will try to avoid being swept by the third-place Tampa Bay Rays, word circulated through the clubhouse that a meeting had been called, and within seconds, the room was empty of all but reporters and coaches.The players filed in about 20 minutes later, many of them laughing among themselves, delaying the start of their pregame stretch by about five minutes. Manager Joe Girardi acknowledged that he had called the meeting but refused to divulge any specifics. Source: ESPN
Ahh. So THIS is where they go over using roids. Makes sense now. PS, Sportsguy, HATE the new name. :)
That worked for all of a day. Baltimore draws first blood in game 1, the weekend suddenly got interesting- even for people like me that cannot stand the AL East and the Yankee$
