I pieced together reports of Lenny's lament from AP, MLB, the Herald, Sun-Sentinel, and Palm Beach Post, and came up with this...
"After watching them give up seven runs in two innings, turning a 4-2 Marlins lead into a 9-4 deficit, Harris unleashed a loud, profane attack on his teammates...
"Harris began his tirade minutes after the game, (and) continued it...
"...while reporters met with manager Jack McKeon in his office. A Marlins staff member quickly closed the office door, but Harris clearly could be heard through the walls...
"The G-rated version of the tirade was that the Marlins are playing selfishly rather than as a team...
"Part of his message: "We're better than this. We have to stop feeling sorry for ourselves. ... We need to stop disrespecting each other. We need to just play."....
"The media was then asked to leave for a few minutes, and when the clubhouse re-opened a few minutes later, several players answered questions as they would have after any other game.
"Harris later rushed past reporters and did not respond to a question.
"'It was something that stays internal,' reliever Todd Jones said.
