Read: Meetings, Meetings, and We B 4 I
According to Roger Rubin in the Daily News, “Before facing the Diamondbacks, the Mets players emerged from a brief players-
only, closed-door meeting, each carrying a piece of paper…The sheet also had several phrases and motivational messages. One said ‘We B4 I.’ Another read “team above self.” A third message was ‘we have time.’”
…nice work by rubin…by the way, for more details from the ‘paper,’ as well as player reaction to the meeting, check out his report…good stuff…
Of course, the Mets then lost 9 to 5 to the D’Backs, making it five straight losses on their way to being three games below .500.
…which just goes to show how meaningless team meetings, and rah-rah pre-game antics can be…
Nevertheless, following the game, Omar Minaya, Willie Randolph, Rick Peterson, Guy Conti and Tony Bernazard met in Randolph’s office for roughly five to 10 minutes.
Minaya told reporters after the meeting that nothing has changed since the team’s press conference on May 26, i.e., Randolph and his coaches are safe.
…from what i understand, the locker room was like a morgue after the game…so, sure, while nothing has changed physically, i bet a lot has changed mentally…
