The Yankees could not get it together in game one of their four game set against the Boston Red Sox and Joe Girardi let the team know he was not happy about it. Although Girardi would not tell the media what the details of the meeting was, consistency was the theme. This Yankees team is up then down. They need to find a way to stay in some of these games like the one they played last night. Losing 7-0 to a division rival that is ahead of you in the standings in the first game of a critical series is unacceptable.
Losing 2-1 is no better, but at least it gives the team a chance to get back in the game and win. When you are down by 7 runs, it is very hard to come back. Girardi was quoted as saying the Yankees, "didn't do anything". The losses are really bothering Joe as they should be and he wants to light a fire under the team. My hope is this meeting will turn this team around once and for all.
I look back at my posts and realize how many times I thought the Yankees had put it together and were going to turn the season around. But as Derek Jeter said, there have been many false starts. He also said, "The thing you've got to realize, this meeting isn't for today. This is for how we've been playing the last week. I don't necessarily think
it's today's game."
Every Yankees fan out there understands the roller coaster ride this team has taken us on and it has been about highs and lows, no consistency. I dare say it one more time, I hope this meeting sparks the team and they go on the run we all know they are capable of going on.
