This is the top MLB headline on sportsline.cbs.com. Needless to say, I have yet to see a "Devil Rays Lose Again Despite Team Meeting" headline, although Tampa Bay has a record identical to the Yankees at 21-28.
The media's love affair for the Yanks aside, I don't even know where to start with this headline. Is a team meeting really such a pivotal event that a team loses "despite" holding one? I could imagine a more apt headline would be "Team X Loses Despite Sending Johan Santana to the Mound."
Maybe the team lost because of the hour-long pregame meeting? That clubhouse coffee isn't nearly as good nowadays with all that amphetamine testing, and I can't stand listening to Joe Torre for a five-minute press conference, much less an hour. It's hard to get motivated to play a baseball game when the first pitch interrupts a cozy nap.
