Yankees manager Aaron Boone held a team meeting with his players after Friday's loss, telling them that 'the reality is, we still have a chance.'
Boone said he told his players he understands the various issues that the team has faced of late, especially injuries, but to try to balance their competitive edge along with playing the game for the right reasons."Remembering to make sure [you] don't lose sight of the fact why you started playing this game, either," Boone said he told the players."That's because it was fun and you were probably pretty good at it.
"... Come in with that edge, that little chip on your shoulder, ready to prepare and work. But when it comes time to play, go out there and have fun playing the game.""We have 40 games left and there's not just occasional, there's a lot of examples -- a lot of recent examples even -- of teams turning it around," Boone said.
"So the reality is we still have a chance, and we've got to kind of prepare and compete every day with a mind that today's the day we turn it around."
