WIN METHOD Potpourri

So far so good. The WIN METHOD YANKEE 2010 season is off to a brilliant start. For the first time since 1926 the YANKEES have won the first four series to start a season.
This years team appears to be the best and deepest at all positions and aspects of the game.
A quick update on Adam Warren, the special WIN METHOD draft selection in 2009. Adam went to the Staten Island YANKEE team after being drafted and pitched brilliantly for the Staten Island team. Adam has quickly been promoted to the YANKEE Tampa (high A)team for the 2010 season, and has started off very well in his first two starts. Look for Adam to move up this season to AA and possibly AAA.
Always remember WIN METHOD fans and you newbies coming to this blog for the first few times. Baseball is played for the success of the team, not for the success of any one player. The best players play for playoff teams, pennant winners, and World Series winners. The players who do this most over their careers are the very best players in the game. Not the wannabees win their individual stats, that the stat frauds would lead you to believe. The high individual stat guys are great for fantasy baseball games where winning does not matter. In the real baseball world, it is winning, and only winning that matters.
The YANKEE welcome home dinner was fantastic, opening day was the best ever. The first opening day in the new YANKEE Stadium as World Champions. First home stand resulted in five wins from six games.
Thank you WIN METHOD fans. For being the most knowledgeable YANKEE baseball fans in the world, no, the most knowledgeable baseball fans of anyone in the world. Keep up the great posts and positive attitudes. Keep putting the stat frauds in their place, last place, and keep spreading the WIN METHOD, the gospel of winning and being the best.

What a great game from Javy, and what a nice win.

George W said...

WE are holding our own. Things are really going to jell and then away we go. Wins is all the matters.

bigbadwolf said...

For anonymous no name....YEP!

Steve said...

Every once in a while we get someone who knows little about baseball here. But they leave quickly toting their ignorance.

Sharon/NC said...

Peaceful day at the ranch. It's almost nice catching your breath with a day off. I bet the players really appreciate it.

Giambino said...

Back to the grind in Baltimore tonight. Hughes going after Vasquez' great stopper outing.

Paul H said...

Need to make up for the series loss in Toronto with another sweep of the O's.

Victor Bruno said...

Millwood pitching for Orioles. The problem is, he is to good a pitcher to not have won a game this season yet. Hope it's not tonight.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Two quick runs off of Millwood. Jeter walk Swisher HR.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Granderson two out grand slam. 6-0 the good guys in the 3rd. Nice start to the series. Let Millwood beat one of our wanabes.

YankeeMike said...

Nice easy win. CC today to keep it going. No train yet?

Carl Hooks said...

CC keeps it going. CC hasn't even got rolling yet.

Cindy said...

Just getting healthier each day and just starting to roll. Look out wanabes.

Bill Behan said...

Thats two in Baltimore, go for sweep tonight with AJ.

Fred Slube said...

Tampa keeps winning, we need to keep winning.

Don Adams said...

A friend told me about this site and to read it from start to finish. Great stuff, great information, and a positive winning philosophy. winning combination. I'll be back.

johnny said...

My dad said I could say this. SWEEP

WIN METHOD said...

The YANKEES lost a game last night that they should've won. The YANKEES have been notorious for not doing well against young pitchers they are seeing for the first time. Last night was no exception, and AJ just couldn't close the deal when he needed to.

YankeeMike said...

Arod is killing us. He shouldn't have been in the game.

Erica Johnston said...

Everyone has to lose sometime. We will prevail.

Bill Behan said...

Lets start the home stand out right. WIN

Cory said...

Nice win. Pettitte was simply brilliant again.

Carl Hooks said...

We got the opener, now to take game two today. Vasquez will be throwing. He should like going against a nl team again.

Nick A said...

Andy seems to get better with age. The best left in MLB over his career.
Javy today for the win.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Keep the pressure on the division. Win. We start before everyone else today.

Giambino said...

Jeter with tow Ballantine blasts leads the YANKEES to a 9-3 win today. Another good outing and win from Vasquez

George W said...

That what we wanted today. Now the bosux and Rays can play catchup.

Teena/Bronx said...

Sorry I didn't give a shout out earlier but I was at the game today. Simply wonderful day.

Frank Sergi said...

Lets earn the sweep. WINS

Sam G said...

Ye, time to clean house. Lets sweep out the Astros.

johnsondc said...

The Yankees win, the Yankees win. Sweep of the Strohs and into a tie for first place.

Warren Hammond said...

Nice weekend. Much progress. Keep moving forward.

Linda Pardo said...

Watch out. Here come the Yankees. choo choo.

RLA said...

Day off. nice start to home stand. six more to go.

WIN METHOD said...

Just wanted to update you WIN METHOD fans. You all know that over the history of baseball Jeter has been and is the player who pops out to the infield (the most useless at bat) less than anyone ever has. Jeter popped out to an infield in his last at bat yesterday for the very first time this season.

bigbadwolf said...

Is it possible we can keep Arod out of the lineup for a few more games.

Stan the Man said...

Hallady and CC tomorrow night. Should be a nice game.

Phil Jenkins said...

It would be very nice to take down Halladay and the Phillies tonight. Keep the train rolling along.

Dale W said...

Shut them down CC.

Mike Smith said...

Halladay won't be pitching against a nl lineup tonight. Lets go Yankees.

Erica Nuyens said...

Missed your posts WIN METHOD. Sorry, I've been very busy. Love ya.

Giambino said...

Halladay is always tough. But tonight he will have to face a very solid predominant strong left handed hitting lineup at the Stadium. If he is off a little, he could go down the Rangoon receptacle.

Steve said...

We have five runs off Halladay still batting in the 3rd inning. Please keep Afraud out of the lineup.

YankeeMike said...

Great game last night beating a true 'ace'. AJ needs to not give back tonight. Keep Arod on the bench.

Ben Pake said...

Keep it going AJ. Great win last night.

Sara B said...

Arod is back tonight. We better win or we can all blame him. We are undefeated with him out the last few games.

johnsondc said...

One rotten inning from AJ blows the game. That Moyer is sick. 400 years old and can still pitch in th big leagues. Hope AJ doesn't get into that one rotten inning a game routine again.

Steve said...

Pettitte today to win the series. Arod back last night and we lose.

Teena/Bronx said...

Now the Phillies get to see our lefty with age. Take the series Andy.

Tom Loughlin said...

Come on Andy. Wake up Arod. Lets go guys. Take this series.

Victor Gandozi said...

You have to be kidding. Arod is put back in the lineup and suddenly no can hit. Keep him on the bench. We were on a win streak without him.

Cliff M said...

That smells, losing a series to thge nl again.

Vinny F said...

Vasquez gets the chance to be the stopper again.

Victor Gandozi said...

We are perfect. Arod goes down and is out we win. Arod comes back and we lose. EVERY GAME. Vasquez was great again, that's the bright spot.
Maybe we will get lucky and Arod will have to really put out and hurt his groin and be out the rest of the year.

Lou Lis said...

Two pitchers 9-1 in todays game. could be a real nice game to watch. Go Hughesy.

Bill Behan said...

Great win for Hughes and the Yankees. 10-1.

Frank Sergi said...

CC for the series tomorrow, and to get us back on track.

Sharon/NC said...

The Yankees have developed Hughes exceptionally. He has blossomed and grown to a top rated starter and is so young. Great win yesterday.

Al Ashton said...

Come on CC, it's getting hot out, your time of the season to dominate. Get this series for us.

Sam G said...

Smoke them CC. We are the Champions.

Dean K said...

We need this to keep even. Six games in the West up next. Every game counts. Nice having the best five man rotation in baseball and the best closer to seal the deal.

bigbadwolf said...

CC dominates and the Yankees take another series. Now for two more series on the West coast. Yes, we are in first place alone.

Phil P said...

CC great game. Can't lose when you pitch a shutout.

Steve said...

AJS turn to bounce back with a winning effort. Get the roadie started with a win. First place is ours.

Jimmy Padilla said...

Trivia question for WM fans. The Yankees won three straight pennants (and two World Series) from 1976 to 1978. Which pitcher got the most wins for them over that three-year period?

Giambino said...

Blow them away AJ. Get out of that lousy inning rut. Start the trip with a win.

Sharon/NC said...

Jimmy. Ed Figueroa with 51.

William Mensom said...

AJ was horrid again. He is killing us. He is to good forthe way he is pitching, but things can turn around fast.

Victor Bruno said...

Javy to the rescue.

RLA said...

Nice easy win last night . Pettitte has been brilliant. Take the series tonight.

Dana M said...

Series rubber game tonight. Get it done and start opening some dylight.

Steve said...

Beautiful win and another series in the bank. Off day, then to LA.

bigbadwof said...

Just keep winning guys. Mo Houdini in the 10th.

sidgreenberg,nyc said...

Two nl teams, two series won, take the third from Joe in LA. Keep winning, that is all that counts.

Carl Hooks said...

Great spot for Yankee fans. Love coming here and seeing 99% positive comments and opinions. Winning IS all that matters.

Vinny F said...

finish off the road trip in grand fashion and take another series. keep them coming with wins.

Sharon/NC said...

Joe G beat Joe T. He whined about being offered 5 mil for a season. Go Yankees.

Warren Hammond said...

Blow them away CC. And get a hit or two for yourself.

Teena/Bronx said...

Same old same old.. CC dominates, Mo saves it, the Yankees win.

Phil Jenkins said...

AJ gets another chance to bounce back. He can't keep going like has been. He is becoming the 4th or 5th starter in the rotation.

Dana M said...

So true. How far in front would we be if Burnett was pitching as well as he could. He needs to get rolling, just in case someone else falters.

William Mensom said...

Clinch the series today. Keep up the winning ways.

bigbadwolf said...

I have been wandering through some baseball talk forum sites on the Yankees. Everyone I go to seems to have nothing but Yankee haters or just utter fools. Any Yankee who at any time who is going bad, they just keep ripping. when the guy goes good they just move to the next guy who is in a slump. This is the place to be. Intelligent positive views and opinions almost always. Hail the WIN METHOD blog and WIN METHOD himself.

Bill Behan said...

AJ does it again. Need to win with Andy to take the series and go home winning.

Billy Morgan said...

One game at a time. Win tonight and go home with a great road trip.

George W said...

AJ is struggling, but it isn't the first time. He will bounce back.

David S said...

Give Torre something to remember Andy.

Eddie OConnor said...

A win is a win. Made a 6-3 road trip instead of 5-4 and three series won.

Harry Stavris said...

A day off t enjoy a great come from behind win in LA. Come home and enjoy, then start winning series again.

Bert Jackson said...

Should be a nice matchup tonight Lee vs Hughes. Lets go Yankees. Keep the winning going.

Sam S said...

No way to start the home stand. Kick it into gear and win the next two.

Sharon/NC said...

When you get a two hit shutout thrown at you, you ain't going to win. Salvage one today.

johnsondc said...

A good bounce back win today. CC was great. Arod finally delivers. I'll take it.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Yes, a good win yesterday. AJ is reunited with his pitching coach. gets another chance to get his head straightened out tonight. Time for AJ to get on a roll.

johnsondc said...

AJ is brilliant, but Joba and Arod blow game for him. I liked it much better when Arod was out of the lineup. He has no lateral movement at third base and may be close to the worst fielding third baseman in baseball.

WIN METHOD said...

Hey fans, I am back from a very promising road interview foray. The YANKEE future continues to look bright for the next several years. Many solid WIN METHOD signings are on the horizon. Now lets all get behind our team, the best in baseball and earn 28 in 10.

Erica Nuyens said...

Welcome back WIN METHOD. Missed ya and love ya. Lets win this series for WIN METHOD.

johnny said...

Win Yankees.

WIN METHOD said...

Thanks Erica and johnny. The YANKEE bats exploded today for one inning. Now to win tomorrow and we will be on the move.

George W said...

One more like today and we take the series. Hughes bounces back.

Bert Jackson said...

Take the series today with a win. Then seven in a row on the left out coast. Just keep winning. 28 in 10.

Giambino said...

Hughes had his worst game of the year last time out. And that was with extra rest. Lets see what happens today. I expect a big bounce back performance.

Cory said...

We win in the 10th a game we could have put in the bank a lot earlier. But it is a WIN.

Fre Slube said...

A hard fought win today on the 4th. Just like we won our freedom in 1776.

Ken S said...

Mo has to show he is human every once in awhile. Good win.

Xavier V said...

Hope we can stay away from the coast to coast drag after yesterdays late win and tonights game in Oakland.

James Logan said...

Great blog for Yankee fans. No nonsense real world info. can't beat that.

William Mensom said...

Vasquez is on tap to get the road trip off well. Lets win the first one, and go from there.

Steve said...

Vasquez has been brilliant. The best #5 in baseball.

Lind Pardo said...

Very nice win and a great game from the five hole. Lets get on a run.

Victor Gandozi said...

CC dominates, Arod hits two, Yanks take romp in the park, win first of two west series, and go for sweep behind AJ.

Greg H said...

Two on the roadie, keep winning. We can't be caught unless we lose.

Teena/Bronx said...

Blow them away and sweep the series AJ.

Tom Loughlin said...

Sweep in Oakland, on to Seattle. Back to back good games for AJ.

Seth said...

Andy tonight to keep the express rolling.

RLA said...

A split in Seattle make for a very solid road trip. 3 of 4 makes the trip grand. A sweep would mean a 9 game win streak going into the All-Star break. Looking good Yankee fans.

Sharon/NC said...

We really haven't had a big win streak this season. a double digit tear would be fine.

bigbadwolf said...

Now we have six straight wins, but getting to ten will be very hard playing in Seattle and having to face two aces in Lee and Hernandez. But lets just keep winning. Winning illustrates who is best. And we are the best.

Warren Hammond said...

Hughes to best Lee tonight would be magnificent.

Al Ashton said...

One win at a time, one game at a time. We are the Champions.

WIN METHOD said...

Just to keep the record straight on the mis-leading information being presented by the press, the New York YANKEES never had a deal for Cliff Lee. The term 'deal in priciple' is a fools gold expression used by the media to try to convey to the fans that the YANKEES and Seattle had reached a deal for Lee. The YANKEES never had a deal for Lee, but only agreed to talk of a deal and the YANKEES would accept such deal if the price was right. In other words who and what the YANKEES would give for him. Nothing ever came of the talks and no deal was ever very serious. But the YANKEES did jack up what the Rangers had to lose for Lee.

johnsondc said...

Seven straight behind Hughes. Looking good. Thanks for the heads up WIN METHOD.

Larry M said...

Javy goes against Hernandez for our 8th straight. This one will be tough.

Ben Pake said...

Joba is killing us. he blows another game. Poor Javy, pitches his heart out. But we do have the best rotation in baseball.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Lee would have been no asset to us. And yes, Joba is hurting us. CC up 6-0 today. With the win we will have a 6-1 road trip just before the All-Star break. Great job guys.

Teena/Bronx said...

A romp in the park. Rest over the break, and then show the Rays who's boss when we resume.

Steve said...

Time to take a break Yankee fans. Lets keep the train rolling in the second half. 28 in 10.

Victor Gandozi said...

Hopefully the break for the all star game won't hurt our momentum when we get back to business for the run home. 28 in 10

YankeeMike said...

We have been on cruise control. Stepping on the gas after the break. Hold on.

Erica Nuyens said...

The imbecile talking heads on espn are whining how the Yankees lost out on Lee. It is Texas who lost out and had to give away their most promising up and coming star to get a rental pitcher.

Steve said...

The "BOSS" has passed away.

Teena/Bronx said...

I'm crying and I'm sad. I love you Mr. Steinbrenner. Thanks for all you did.
