According to Jeff Fletcher of the Southern California News Group, the Angels held a team meeting prior to the game. Manager Ron Washington told Fletcher it "wasn't a chewing out meeting, it was a come to Jesus meeting, and it well."

Fletcher reports the meeting lasted 90 minutes. Here's hoping the rain delay isn't nearly as long.
