WIN METHOD...YANKEES...TRUTH & WISDOM

WOW! YANKEE fans.  What a great start to the 2013 season by this WIN METHOD built team.    Stellar team play from guys like Hafner, Youkilis, Overbay, Nix, Nunez, Cervelli, Warren, etal.  With injuries to key players, Jeter, Granderson, Teixeira, Pineda, we survive and fight on.    Add in the injuries to Cervelli and Youkilis, and you wind up with one heck of amazing performance by this team so far this 2013 season.    16-10 win-loss record to end the first month of the season.   A season that most prognosticators and talking heads were predicating only the worst case scenario for this years YANKEE team.   The naysayers, the voices of gloom and doom have been silenced.  Now their tired refrain is 'it can't go on'.  But that is why we post here on the WIN METHOD blog.   We post truth and wisdom, we support our team, and try to be positive.   You guys and gals are WIN METHOD, you are the best, and you have made this site the biggest and best in baseball.

Coming down the road, we will have players returning to the lineup and a few guys who are here now will have to be dropped.   We have so much talent on the horizon the YANKEES will continue their run of superiority and dominance unrivaled during the past two decades.   There is only one player who we do not need back, and much of the teams success so far this year may have much to do with him not being here.   We all know who we don't want back but may be forced to take back.  No more Afraud, please.

How about Mariano Rivera.  The pitching machine is as great as ever and that is saying something since he is the greatest relief pitcher in the history of baseball.

I see, as many of you have also seen, the stat fraud postings have been miniscule here lately.  They have been beaten down with truth, wisdom, and logic.   For newer posters here, stat frauds are the people who manufacture and create convoluted invalid formulas to try to evaluate players and then try to tell the world which players are best.  Only the basic baseball stats are legitimate, runs, hits, batting average, etc.  When you see or hear War, AWAR, ZR, replacement value and other garbage, ignore them and always remember that only wins and winning determine the best of the best.

If anyone has any questions, post them on this blog, and you will be answered by any and many of the brilliant knowledgeable baseball fans here.  Post your opinions and views.  Naysayers, post also, call us names if you wish, but foul language will always be deleted.  We ban no one and love to hear from all sides.  Even the stat frauds, who have no game and no sense.

The injured will slowly return and the playoffs are on the horizon.  This team is what the WIN METHOD is all about.  Rising to the occasion and excelling in the face of adversity.

3-3.

Gus Papa said...

Robertson does his job in the 9th. 3-3, extra innings.

George W said...

Overbay HR in the 11th wins it and Mo saves it.

jimbo said...

Yanks win it. Great comeback win, 4-3 in 11.

Sul Irving said...

Never give up! What a win.

KevMac said...

A win for destiny. A series win. Possibly a sweep. CC tomorrow.

Patricia Piper said...

Love it, love this team. Thank you WIN METHOD.

Ben Rosen--Israel said...

Never give up. The Yankees down 3-1 in the ninth inning yesterday in Tamps with no one on base and two out never gave up and rallied for two runs to tie the game. Then won the game in the eleventh inning 4-3.
Pure and glorious WIN METHOD.

Hector Lopez said...

Don't give todays game away after yesterdays great win. Sweep the Rays. Go CC.

will-i-am said...

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!!!!!!

Sharon/NC said...

Destiny?....Granderson gets hurt and goes on the DL for the 2nd time. Boesch gets called up for the 2nd time and Boesch gets big hit to help Yankees tie then win yesterdays game....Destiny?

Tom Loughlin said...

Get the job CC. Be the man.

Harry Stavris said...

CC sloppy and down 2-0 after 2.

Saul Irving said...

CC tagged for 2 more in the 3rd. Yanks down 4-0 after 3.

Gus Papa said...

CC been letting team down.

Giambino said...

Sabathia hammered for 4 runs in 6th and is down 7-0. This would be a major come back for the Yankees.

Saul Irving said...

Game over. CC and Yanks lose 8-3.

Cory said...

No sweep. Yankees go down 8-3.

Victor Gandozi said...

CC hasn't really been solid all season. I wonder if his off season surgery has something to do with it. He doesn't seem to be in pain, but just not the CC we are used to.

Dan Evans said...

Home for four games with the Mets. Two at Citi Field, two at Yankee Stadium.

Alex Antonius said...

I would think 3 or 4 wins over the Mets should be our goal.

William Mensom said...

Happy Memorial Day Yankee fans.

Yankeeforever said...

Play and win one game at a time. Our bullpen is rested after yesterdays none use.

Lem Barker said...

Get us a win Phil.

AAA said...

Go Yankees. Get it done Phil.

Steve said...

No score after four.

Stan the Man said...

Yankees lead 1-0 after 6. Gardner triple, Nix single for the run. Gardner then takes a 2 run HR from Murphy with a leaping catch over the centerfield wall.

YankeeMike said...

1-1 after 7. We sure don't give Hughes much support, but he is pitching very well.

Stan the Man said...

1-1 after 7.

NJYANKEE said...

Final, tough 2-1 loss.

RLA said...

Yanks go down 2-1. Robertson loses it.

Tom Loughlin said...

A rotten loss. Rebound tomorrow.

Walt Drummond said...

Horrible last last night. But it is only a loss. Kuroda for a rebound win tonight.

Teena/Bronx said...

Hughes pitches what may have been his best game of the year and still can't earn a win. We may be reaching the point where we really need Jeter back, big time.

George W said...

Win today and right the ship guys.

Andy K said...

Hiroki is the man right now.

Billy Tedder said...

It would help our pitchers if our lineup scored a few more runs.

Kuroda spotless through 7. Yanks cling to 1-0 lead. It will be up to the bullpen.

The real David Robertson tonight with a very strong 1,2,3 8th. 1-0 Yanks.

will-i-am said...

1-0 Yanks after 8.

Steve said...

Can we get another run in the 9th for Mo.

YankeeMike said...

No insurance for Mo. 1-0 with Mets coming to bat in the 9th. Ain't baseball the greatest game on earth.

Steve said...

Three batters , three hits, Mo blows it 2-1. This has been a suckfull two nights.

YankeeMike said...

Yanks lose 2-1.

Stan the Man said...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Randy Wilson,CO said...

I can't sleep, after the last three games I am getting eat up inside.

Linus Walsh said...

We finally lost three consecutive games. The last team in baseball to do so. Not much conciliation.

Victor Tinzik said...

OK now. Two straight games our starters have pitched seven innings each. One game up one run, the other gave up no runs. Neither won and neither did the team.

Vinny Ferrero said...

Phelps tonight. Can be the stopper.

Bev F said...

We forget about the past couple of games and move forward. We will be the best,

Lem Baxter said...

Now we are at home for two games with the Mets. Payback time. Rip them apart.

Todd Elkridge said...

No mercy Yankees. WIN WIN.

We were thinking 3 or 4 wins against the Mets, now we will have to scratch and claw just to get 1. Never give up.

William Mensom said...

Four consecutive losses and we are still only a game from the lead. Two months into the season and we are holding our own with subs and the kiddie corps. the future is ours.

Pete H said...

My kingdom for a win.

Linda Rice said...

Saul Irving said...

Yanks down 3-1 after 8.

jimbo said...

Yanks lose 3-1. Swept by Mets.

Deb F said...

Woe is me. Yanks lose 5th straight.

Levi James said...

Bring on the bosux. Out ace goes tomorrow.

YankeeMike said...

We are playing as bad as we can possibly play. Time for infantry.

Domenic said...

We need to straighten the ship.

Yankeeforever said...

If we sweep the bosux, we will rebound nicely.

Mike Smith said...

CC can be and should be the stopper tonight. CC needs to step up and take charge.

Chen Cho said...

Man oh man we really need for Sabathia to come up big tonight.

Teixeira and Youkilis will likely be in the starting lineup tonight.

Yanks 3-0 after six.

YankeeMike said...

sux get 1 in 7th as CC has been pitching like an 'ace' tonight. 3-1 with Yanks coming to bat.

Stan the Man said...

CC leaves after 7.1 innings of 1 run brilliant in command pitching and a 4-1 lead. Robertson just got the last 2 outs in the 8th. Be positive and chalk up the win.

Nancy Collinski said...

Mo in for the 9th and gets the save.

C said...

All is right, the Yankeeeeees win.

Bob Behan said...

Final, Yanks win it 4-1.

Gus Papa said...

With the win, Yankees back to within one game of the AL east lead.

Carl Hooks said...

We needed just what we got from CC tonight.

Deb F said...

What a nice win. great to have Tex and Youk back. their bats will make a difference and are an upgrade. How many teams can send to quality starters down to AAA and still have five quality starters on the roster. This Yankee team is still in the blooming stage.

sid greenberg.nyc said...

Take it out on the bosux. Start a win streak equal to or better than the losing streak.

Giambino said...

Hughes just needs to follow up CC's performance with one just like he threw against the Mets earlier this week.

Victor Gandozi said...

I see Kuroda will match up with a second undefeated pitcher in a row tomorrow night.

Ben Rosen--Israel said...

Do it again guys, same as last night.

Ned Loftus,Daytona Beach said...

Win tonight win the series.

Gus Papa said...

this game and a win will help us rebound very nicely from the Met debacle.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

It was nice to have Teixeira and Youkilis back and the team get a win. Just the presence of stronger bats puts more pressure on the opposing pitcher.

Erica Johnston said...

Do it Phil. Give them nothing. Get some runs for Hughes guys. Lets roll.

Ted Lilly said...

It's about time Hughes gets a break.

Anonymous said...

Scoreless after two.

Hughes shelled for 5 in 3rd.

RLA said...

Yanks down 5-1 thru 4.

NJYANKEE said...

Yanks down 5-1 after 7. Not looking good. Two chances left.

Sean Smith said...

Look at the positive. I f you are going to lose, might as well be 11-1 than 2-1.

Domenic said...

Kuroda can do it. Lets take this series and send the sux on their merry way.

Ravi Maragh said...

Should be a good game tonight. could be a great game if the Yankees kick Buchholz butt.

Izzy Hernandez said...

When I go to the baseball talk forums, the Yankee threads, I cannot believe there are so many fans that do not know baseball, cite meaningless stat after stat as if their stats were infallible, and how these same fans ripplayer after player, the managers, coaches, umpires, GMs, front offices aver and over. Thank GOD for the WIN METHOD.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

Been there done that Izzy. I was booted out of a forum because I used common sense and documented facts. They didn't like that or me making fools of them.

RLA said...

If you lose how can you possibly be the best, but in the eyes of a fool.

Stan the Man said...

A win tonight would really be big.

Sharon/NC said...

You may have to pitch a shutout Hiroki. Lets hope not. Scrte some runs guys.

Go Yankees. Take this series.

Eddie OConnor said...

Do it again Kuroda. Save our souls.

Tony Gigante said...

Yankees down 1-0 after 4.

Frank Sergi said...

Another rain delay. Yanks down 3-0 and not hitting.

Deb F said...

It looks like we are at our worst right now and still in contention. It is a long season and we will prevail in the end.

Gus Papa said...

Considering the injuries, the lineup for the season so far, being where we are should be feather in our cap. Yes, we will be there at seasons end.

Phil Jenkins said...

Just have to regroup and start winning consistently again. Lets start tonight.

Gabe Hooks said...

I wonder what Andy will give us tonight. He has a way of coming up big after we lose a few.

RLA said...

Pettitte know what to do to right the ship.

Teena/Bronx said...

Rain is moving out, should get to play tonight, and win.

If we keep scoring some runs and give our starters a little more support we can hold our own with anyone.
