The Mets have made a habit this season of mouthing off to the media about their own problems. Earlier this season Billy Wagner was highly critical of pitcher Oliver Perez for not giving his team a strong outing. Wagner has also been critical of the team for other issues. Last year, Paul LoDuca (damn racist) was critical of the Spanish players for not being more vocal with the media. "I know they speak English," he said. It was probably the 'roid rage.
Yesterday, Willie Randolph held a 35 minute meeting with his team after the Subway Series game was officially rained out last night. Since this was a closed door meeting, content of discussion was not disclosed to reporters. However, I would have to imagine the meeting was about keeping problems within the team. Randolph has to tell his players to keep their problems internal. This is the type of chemistry-killer that allows for seven game collapses in only a 17 game period.
