Words worth it for Joe
OAKLAND - It wasn't altogether surprising that Joe Torre held yet another team meeting before yesterday's game since the Yankees returned to the Coliseum less than 12 hours after getting blasted by the A's, 12-0.
But Torre's message to his players wasn't harsh. He didn't scold them or raise his voice as he did when the Yanks lost two of three in Tampa last month. Rather, Torre wanted to remind the Bombers to be patient at the plate, not try to hit home runs all the time and quickly put losses, like their two previous defeats, in the past.
"Managers, if you have something to say, you want everybody to hear it," Torre said. "Most meetings are, for me, if I have something to say, I want to make sure to cover everything I need to cover. It helps me deal with things better.... My team is fine. When I have meetings, it's not always about screaming at somebody or telling everybody what they're doing wrong."
This was the Yanks' eighth team meeting this season.
