Team meeting a.k.a. ‘family talk’

The Mets kept the clubhouse doors closed for 28 minutes as they had a bit of a team meeting.  Jerry Manuel later described it as “family talk.”

But what struck me most was Brian Costa’s tweet, which read, “Jerry said he addressed team after game. message: we have enough here to win.”

Really?

Because just 24 hours earlier, Mr. Manuel told reporters, “We're a below average team. Period.”

6/29: “We’re a below average team.”

6/30: “We have enough here to win.”

Hmm…Sounds like someone got a phone call from someone higher up.
