WIN METHOD....bringing out the best

Here it is the last month of the 2013 MLB regular season and the drive to the playoffs is on.   And yes, this YANKEE team is in the hunt and could still reach the playoffs this season.  WIN METHOD fans, and all baseball fans, think of the playing time lost by so many YANKEES this season.  I bet we couldn't name everyone, but lets try.   We lost regulars, then we lost replacements for the regulars, then we lost subs for the replacement players.

Jeter, Teixeira, Granderson, Cervelli, Youkilis, Hafner, Phelps, Nix, Almonte, Nunez, and you can throw in sad to say Afraud.  Add in the smaller injuries to several others for various amounts of time and you have more games missed than you can shake a stick at.

Through all the injuries the WIN METHOD has selected enough quality players producing just enough and at the right time to help keep this years YANKEE team in the playoff dog fight.  The YANKEE season isn't over yet.

It is as it always has been a matter of WINS.  Only WINS can take a team and a player to the second season.  Nothing else matters, no stat of any kind, be it an actual reality based stat or a convoluted misleading man made stat used and relied upon only by the most foolish of baseball fans.
A question that that the stat frauds can't handle and refuse to answer is....would you rather go to the playoffs because you won enough games, or would you rather lead the league in stats and not make the playoffs???

The interesting story of this season and what we need to take away from this season, is just how well the WIN METHOD can produce, even in the worst of times, and then just how great a season 2014 will look to be.  First things first, lets all root for this YANKEE team to reach the playoffs this season.  No matter what happens the rest of the year, this 2013 YANKEE team has done the WIN METHOD and Joe Girardi proud.  Lets roll.

Lets make it a grand Christmas, lets get Tanaka.

Yankeeforever said...

I'm with you AAA. But it may come as a late present.

jimbo said...

Tanakas team doesn't want to post him. Unhappy with the deal with MLB limiting their posting fee to only 20M.

Quay Ho said...

Think positive WIN METHOD fans, 2014 is going to be a very good year.

johnsondc said...

Open one present at a time. I have a feeling we will have another one or two to open.

will-i-am said...

Merry Christmas to all.

Linda Pardo said...

Peace of the season be with you. Merry Christmas.

Teena/Bronx said...

The Yankees have signed their possible second baseman in The Orioles Brian Roberts. Low cost but often injured. New life for Brian in the Bronx playing alongside the greatest shortstop Derek Jeter.

Jack Bauer said...

If Roberts stays healthy he will be a steal.

Gus Papa said...

Roberts will still have to earn his spot in spring training.

Paul Hirschmann said...

Just get Tanaka and we will steamroll the AL East in 14.

Billy Tedder said...

If we use a rotation of Roberts, Johnson and Nunez at 2nd and 3rd we are pretty well set. Now a pitcher to add.

Larry Waner said...

Merry Christmas fans.

Barry Wilson said...

Everyone have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Raji Mahood said...

Competition for rotation spots can't hurt. We will be fine.

Patricia Piper said...

Merry Christmas.

Steve said...

Merry Christmas to all WIN METHOD fans and even the stat frauds.

Dave Matthews said...

All I want for Christmas is Tanaka.

John Manning said...

Even without Tanaka the Yankees have many in house starter options. Spring training will separate them.

Ben Rosen/Israel said...

Santas getting ready for a big trip. Merry Christmas.

bigbadwolf said...

Lets see what we have for a possible opening day lineup.

1.Ellsbury CF 2.Jeter SS 3.Beltran RF 4.Teixeira 1B 5.Soriano DH 6.McCann C 7.Nunez 3B 8.Roberts/Johnson 2B 9.Gardner LF

Stan the Man said...

Speed and power bigbadwolf. I can see a lot of runs being scored.

Rene Figueroa said...

Strong lineup and deep. With a bit of pitching the Yankees will be solid next year.

Donna S, Oslo said...

Hope you all have been boys and girls. Merry Christmas, the best is yet to come.

johnsondc said...

WOW WIN METHOD fans, this just in...Golden Eagles To Post Masahiro Tanaka.....
WIN METHOD said so and told us this 4 1/2 days ago. Again WIN METHOD is first in the world to post that Tanaka would be posted. As others hem and hawed, guessed yes or no, with many saying no, WIN METHOD told us first. this is why this is the best and greatest baseball blog and forum in the world. WIN METHOD gave us our Christmas present. Now it is up to the Yankees to sign him.

Erica Nuyens said...

Love ya WIN METHOD, YOU ARE THE GREATEST.

Gus Papa said...

Get him Yankees, get him.

Carl Hooks said...

Merry Christmas. Lets sign Tanaka. Way to go WIN METHOD.

AAA said...

Great news about Tanaka.

Yanks23245 said...

Come on Yanks, make it a superfecta.

Sharon/NC said...

All I wanted for Christmas was for Tanaka to be posted. Now my team will have a chance for him.

Victor Tinzik said...

Yes to Tanaka and yes to WIN METHOD.

Izzy Hernandez said...

El grande WIN METHOD.

Ben Rosen/Israel said...

Mazel Tov!

Stan the Man said...

Great news can be made even greater with a signed Yankee contract.

jimbo said...

Forget about two front teeth. Tanaka instead.

Gus Papa said...

Very nice, will Hal and Hank take after their father and go all in on Tanaka?

Lou Lis said...

If Tanaka is the real deal he will be worth every penny he gets.

Steve said...

Merry Christmas everyone and an extra special Christmas to WIN METHOD.

Linda Rice said...

Santa came, Merry Christmas, get Tanaka.

Barry West said...

I say yes to Tanaka. Get it done Steinbrenner kids, make your daddy proud. Merry Christmas.

Mike Smith said...

Thank you WIN METHOD for your insight and knowledge and putting the stat frauds in the last place.
Again to all, Merry Christmas.

Fausto Dinardo said...

Merry Christmas

Norm Holden said...

WIN METHOD rules.

johnsondc said...

Tanaka has hired an agent. Derek Jeters agent.

Warren Hammond said...

Come on guys, make Tanaka a Yankee.

Bob Behan said...

Tanaka for the new year.

Jack Bauer said...

The Yankee name, Jeters agent, Ichiro, and Kuroda may all point to Tanaka becoming a Yankee.

Rahm Mahood said...

I think Tanaka if he is smart, will sign with Yankees. That will give him the widest area of ancillary income potential.

Will-i-am said...

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. Now to open the new year with Tanaka in the fold.

Patricia Piper said...

I have a feeling the Yankees want and will get Tanaka.

Yankeeforever said...

Who knows how Tanaka will do in the US.

AAA said...

I also think Tanaka will sign with the Yankees. second choice would be the Dodgers. Only a fool would sign with the Cubs.

bigbadwolf said...

The Cubbies and Theo Epstein the third rate GM said they are going all in and would blow Tanaka away with their offer. Tanaka will probably want to win and not play with one of the biggest losing teams in the history of MLB. Too bad Cubbies.

Steve said...

If the Yankees go all in on Tanaka then WIN METHOD gave them the OK,

RLA said...

I would think Tanaka would want to win, and that would eliminate several of the bidding teams in itself.

Alex Antonious said...

January 24th by 5PM is when Tanaka must sign or go back to Japan.

Carl Hooks said...

And we may know about Afraud on Jan 13th.

Saul Irving said...

Out with the old Afraud in with the new Tanaka.

Eddie OConnor said...

If Tanaka wants to play to win he signs with the Yankees or Dodgers, if he plays just for money he signs with a loser.

Cory said...

Get Tanaka.

Erica Johnston said...

Start the new year off right. Get Tanaka. Happy New Year.

Mike Smith said...

It will be interesting to see what Pineda brings to the table this spring. With very few innings last year he shouldn't be able to go much more than 120 or so, IF HE CAN.

Gus Papa said...

We stayed in the playoff chasr until the last week of the season last year. This year we romp. Just need to Afraud banned for the season.

Wayne Littlebear said...

We may be deeper in pitching than a lot of the talking heads give us credit for.

jimbo said...

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Stanley Chin said...

Ban Afraud is my New Year wish.

YankeeMike said...

Happy New Year.

Carl Cameron said...

Just wail until Tanaka meets Jeter. He will be a Yankee.

Willaim Mensom said...

Happy New Year. Yankee fans 2014 is going to be a very big year.

KevMac said...

Happy New Year. Lets celebrate it with World Series victory.

Vladmir Tinzik said...

Go Yankees in 2014. Happy New Year.

AAA said...

TANAKA for the NEW YEAR>

Linda Rice said...

Happy New Year.

John Tremko said...

I'm celebrating the Yankee 2014 season early tonight. Go Yankees.

Carl Hooks said...

it's almost that time. Happy New Year all.

Gene A said...

2014 is here, go Yankees.

Swen Jorgenson said...

Happy New Year

will-i-am said...

Is anyone up? Happy New Year.

bigbadwolf said...

I'm here. Happy New Year.

Anonymous said...

2014 is here, lets roll.

Dan Evans said...

WAKE UP! It's 2014.

Yankeeforever said...

Everyone have a great ne year.

Victor Bruno said...

Happy New Year. Less than two months until spring training opens.

Eddie OConnor said...

Best wishes for a grand New Year to all baseball fans particularly Yankee fans.

Cory said...

I'm awake, Happy New Year.

Lori Kelly said...

It is going to be a very good year for Yankee fans.

Yanks23245 said...

Tanaka at all cost.

johnsondc said...

Afraud 12 days and Tanaka 23 days.

Quay Ho said...

Happy New Year

Ben Rosen/Israel said...

Looking forward to a playoff return for the Yankees this year.

Izzy Hernandez said...

Yankee lineup is very imposing for 2014. Much speed and power.

Jerry Curcio said...

Captain Derek Jeter returning and leading the troops will also be a big factor. His great defensive skills and brilliant clutch hitting will spur the team on.

Ralph Higgins said...

Right on guys. 2014 will be a return to the top.

Kyle Litsch said...

If we could stay close in 13 with old guys and young minor leaguers we will be far better in 14 and dominate.

johnny said...

Lets go Yankees.

bigbadwolf said...

Hi johnny. Have you been a good boy?

Victor Gandozi said...

January will be a big month. Afraud and Tanaka decisions forth coming.

Saul Irving said...

Belated, sorry. Happy New Year.

johnsondc said...

Afraud 11 days Tanaka 22 days.

Tom Loughlin said...

Afrauds days are numbered.

Les Nessman said...

All we can do is wait and see re afraud and Tanaka.

Nick Polito said...

Please ban afraud for the season.

Jake Wooding said...

When some fans talk of a hole in the lineup at 2nd and 3rd right now, when the Yankees won big in 98 they had holes at 2nd and left field and won more games in a season than any team in baseball history. 2014 lineup is very solid and strong.

Claude Raines said...

I agree Jake. The Yankees will be the team to reckon with.

johnsondc said...

Afraud 10 days Tanaka 21 days.

bigbadwolf said...

Lets all enjoy the winter. Baseball is just a short time away. then we can enjoy a great season of Yankee WIN METHOD baseball.

Willie Jameson said...

Hope every has a great New Year.

candycane said...

2014 si going to be a very good year.

Walt Bellamy said...

2014 playoffs are a shoe-in in my opinion.

Pete H said...

Only seven more weeks until Americas sport returns and baseball is back.

Zhaire said...

Ban afraud for the season and the Yankees will be golden.

johnsondc said...

Afraud 9 days Tanaka 20 days.

Warren Hammond said...

No news on anything so far.

YankeeMike said...

Come on baseball.

Fred Slube said...

We will win it all this year.

johnsondc said...

Afraud 8 days Tanaka 19 days.

Willie Jameson said...

Within three weeks we will know all we need to know.

YankeeMike said...

I'm sure with the holidays over the Tanaka talks will be going full bore.

Lee Askew said...

I am so ready for baseball.

bigbadwolf said...

All is quiet on the Yankee front.

johnsondc said...

Afraud 7 days Tanaka 18 days.

Yuri Karshnev/USSR said...

More vodka less afraud.

Glen Casey said...

I like that Yuri.

Deb F said...

Final decisions are getting closer and closer.

Tanks23245 said...

Just a few more days.

Boston Yankee fan said...

I love this blog. I love the no advertisements. I love no one trying to sell me something. I love the positiveness. Keep it up.

jimbo said...

Hopefully afrauds days are numbered.

Paul Hirschman said...

Win it all this season.

Zhaire said...

bye bye afraud.

johnsondc said...

Afraud 6 days Tanaka 17 days.

Tony Kanchu said...

HOF inductees announced later today. Some really good players to be voted in.

Dawn Ahearn said...

Baseball is right around the corner.

Fausto Dinardo said...

Tanaka talks so far have had no leaks from anyone.

Willaim Mensom said...

I would think a Tanka signing announcement won't happen until the last day or two before deadline date of 24th.

Cory said...

Tanaka = Yankees

Stan the Man said...

I think you are right William. I also wonder if an afraud season ban will make any difference in the Yankee offer to Tanaka.

johnny said...

The Yankees are my favorite team.
