TORONTO - Sometimes it helps to just talk. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Sidney-Jones-Jersey/
. Thats what Blue Jays players did, for more than an hour behind closed doors,
before Tuesday nights game against Los Angeles. Details of what was said were
scarce but on the heels of Monday nights embarrassing 14-5 loss to the Dodgers,
you need not be a brain surgeon to figure out some of the likely topics covered.
One could bet the house words like pride, intensity and focus came up and often.
"Understanding that this game is a privilege to play in, and not taking anything
for granted, and go out and having fun," said closer Casey Janssen. "Not think
of the record, and all the other things. Just go out there and do your job and
try to get a win." "I dont think it can be a bad thing," said manager John
Gibbons of the meeting. "Its actually quite common in the game." "Whether they
help or whether they dont help, I dont know," said Anthopoulos. "I mean, all the
ones that Ive seen, you never really know because theyre players-only meetings
and rarely do things come out of them in terms of people other than players
finding out whats really said. I think thats the point of it. I think what good
comes of it is the fact that players care enough to talk amongst themselves and
theres an accountability there amongst the players to try to hash it out amongst
themselves." After Josh Johnson authored another horrendous outing, failing to
record an out in the third inning, the Blue Jays made five errors. Some were
purely physical, forgivable misplays which happen over the course of a long
season. Others, like Dustin McGowans misfire on a would-be double play
comebacker and Adam Linds whiff on an Andre Ethier ground ball, left one to
wonder whether the collective cranium was lodged in the collective posterior.
"We dont have any real margin for error," said Janssen. "We need to play good
ball, and just see what we can make of this thing. Hopefully we go on a run and
have some meaningful games in September and try and sneak in there." Accoring to
Janssen, a handful of players remained in the clubhouse long after Mondays game
ended. They were "talking shop," some grievances were aired and it was decided a
broader group discussion would be beneficial. "If people listen, maybe theres
some good to come out of it," said Janssen. "If it doesnt, I guess were not
worse off than we were before. Hopefully we come together, hopefully everyone
realizes that we have each others backs and that we havent quit. There are guys
in this room that genuinely care about the season, care about each other, if
nothing else for the most part, were kind of tired of seeing the product that
were seeing on the field." Getting the focus back on the field would be a good
start. Case in point: J.P. Arencibia. Its been a trying season, in which the
catcher has regressed both offensively and defensively. Off the field, Arencibia
has complained about criticism hes received from broadcast analysts, first
publicly and then to Blue Jays president Paul Beeston. On Tuesday morning,
Arencibia shut down his Twitter account but not before tweeting the reason why.
Saying he was fed up with negative feedback, Arencibia thanked his supporters
and offered to pray for his "haters" before signing off. The ball club doesnt
need bad publicity when its avoidable and player-created. A symptom of a season
gone so, so wrong. "You only have players-only meetings when youre not playing
well," said Anthopoulos. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Nick-Foles-Jersey/
.Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his
eight seasons in Buffalo. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Chance-Warmack-Jersey/
. It might not have mattered. While the Dodgers are preparing for the playoffs,
the Padres showed their future has promise behind two rookies. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Stefen-Wisniewski-Jersey/
. Nigeria beat surprise package Ethiopia 2-0 in the second leg of their playoff
for a comfortable 4-1 aggregate victory. Victor Moses converted a 20th-minute
penalty after an Ethiopian handball, and Victor Obinna made certain of Nigerias
place in Brazil with his powerful free kick in the 82nd at UJ Esuene Stadium.
