WIN METHOD/DEREK JETER

One of the WIN METHODS first player selections and arguably possibly the greatest was Derek Jeter. Derek Jeter is the consumate ball player, a true leader, a clutch performer, a consistent performer, a man of character, charisma, reliability, and dependability.
Recently Derek Jeter surpassed Lou Gehrigs all time hit total as a player wearing a YANKEE uniform. Lou had held the title for the past seventy-two years.
There are a couple of other facts regarding Jeter which illustrate his overwhelming greatness and his being the best baseball player in the world over the past fifteen plus years. One, Derek Jeter has won more baseball games than other MLB player. This is an amazing fete considering some of the names of players one could throw around over the past fifteen years. Two, Derek Jeters popup rate to the infield is the lowest in all of MLB by an unbelievably wide margin. Jeter pops out to the infield approximately one time for every one hundred at bats. An astonishing fete that no one else comes close to.
Throw in this fact, Jeter has helped lead his team to the playoffs every year but one of his career. He has won six American League pennants and four World Series. Jeters defense at shortstop is second to no one in baseball and he, over his career, has made plays in crucial situations that no other player could ever dream of.
Congratulation, Derek Jeter, for what you have accomplished and will still accomplish in the future.

It's been a long day. It ended the best it could with a Yankee win. I'm on the train. Choo choo.

Albert W said...

Big game from CC and another shutout inning from Mo. Keep it going AJ. Just like CC, hard and strikes to dominate.

Tim H said...

Solid game all around. A very nice win. And winning is all that matters.

Dennis G said...

If AJ does follow suit, we will be in solid shape.

Victor Bruno said...

Yes, game one is ours. Led by CC and Jeter game one is ours. Now for AJ and the whole pen to win game two.

Teena/Bronx said...

The weather is more ominous today than for last nights game. We are having rain move through right now. It looks to be moving slowly and there is a far better chance of rainy conditions tonight, than the almost totally rain free conditions last night. Go Yankees Choo Choo

WIN METHOD said...

Great job Teena, you nailed yesterdays game on the head. Some jerk on one of the baseball forums was spewing that the game would be played entirely in the rain. Yep, the talk forum was wrong again.

WIN METHOD said...

Yes fans, we started off on the right path last night with our Captain Jeter leading the way. As you all know and called for, CC threw strike after strike and dominated the game. If AJ does the same today, we should be in good shape. CHOO choo, get on the train fans or get left at the tracks.

Erica Nuyens said...

WIN METHOD rules, all others are fools. Love ya.

Sharon/NC said...

Thank God we have Derek Jeter and no one else has anyone as great has him. He is the supreme leader. Go Yankees.

William Mensom said...

From what I have heard MLB and the TV networks are the ones who will decide if any game is played or not because of weather. So anything can happen tonight. choo choo

Frank R said...

great game and lets get another one in the bank. choo choo

Bill L said...

Girardi may tell AJ to throw everything he has for 5 or 6 innings and close with the relievers. They do have an off day tomorrow for travel.

Herb W said...

I'm looking for the starters to feed off each other and go through the playoffs with command. I'm live to be on a nonstop train ride. Choo choo

bigbadwolf said...

There is a God, and he's a Yankee fan. He must be on our express train to the WS. Choo choo.

Stan Musinski said...

Bill and Herb both called it. We have the brightest most intelligent fans posting on this blog. Great call guys. Great game.

Victor Bruno said...

Five hours of nail biting brilliant baseball and another WIN METHOD win. WOW!

Tom Loughlin said...

Somehow we find a way. That is WIN METHOD baseball, no individuals playing as one, it's all playing as a team. The train is headed west. Choo choo

Nick J said...

A well deserved day of rest and travel to the left coast of despair.
Do it again Andy.

YankeeMike said...

A games of ups and downs with each team having their chance to win. In the end we got the deciding run with Hairston, Cano, Melky, and a misplay making the final difference.

Henry Logan said...

Another game for the Yankee Classics on YES. The Yankees have more classic games than all the other teams in MLB combined. Thank you George Steinbrenner. This one is for you.

Andrew J said...

I was at home watching the game and just got up. Not all that much sleep, but a Yankee win is worth it. I'll just relax and read today and wait for tomorrow.

johnsondc said...

You just got up. I wonder when WIN METHOD will arise. He was at the game and probably was out celebrating last night.

Linda Pardo said...

Wonderful game, big win, the train is rolling along. choo choo

WIN METHOD said...

I'm alive I think. Still recovering from last nights great win between two brilliant teams who compete to the last out is made and/or the final run is scored. AJ had a superb game, one wild pitch cost him big. The YANKEE pen was fantastic pitching 6 2/3 innings of one run ball. Arod and Jeter came up big, Arod WHEN it mattered the most. Lets also give a big hooray to Jerry Hairston for his leadoff single and great base running to win the game. The defense was shaky for both teams, but the YANKEE errors came up meaningless in determining the outcome of the game. Whereas one big Angle error and WHEN it occurred did determine the outcome of the game. There again is that most precious WIN METHOD word 'WHEN'. Game three tomorrow afternoon. Lets keep the train rolling, choo choo.

Benny Pake said...

Right on WIN METHOD, it is always WHEN and the WIN that always count. Choo choo, keep the train moving.

Erica Johnston said...

It's the same in any sport or even in life. There are always miscues, errors, mistakes, but it is always WHEN they happen or occur that determines their importance or value or meaning.

johnsondc said...

Wisdom to live by, only at the WIN METHOD blog. The blog with the most intelligence, wisdom, and common sense in the world. Go Yankees.

Jimmy Thames said...

Andy will keep feeding off of CC and AJ and throw another great game tomorrow. Tomorrow is the biggest game for the Angels. If they lose, they will get swept.

Ted Knight said...

Did someone say sweep. Yes, lets sweep. Swoooooosh.

Dennis G said...

Control Andy, throw strikes and make them swing at your pitches. Full relief corps is ready and waiting. Brilliantly managed by Girardi. choo choo

Cindy J said...

At least we don't have to wait until 8pm to watch the game today. Go Andy, Go Captain Jeter, Go Yankees.

Walter Hammond said...

One game at a time guys. Lets get two more wins and it's off to the WS.
Keep the train rolling. choo choo

Nick J said...

If Weaver is on, this could be a really great game. Hopefully Andy matches him and keeps us in the game. choo choo

Sid Lovitz said...

Just over five hours to game time. I'm leaving work at 2. Lets go Yankees. Sweep.

Don H said...

Yes, this would be the coup de gras, winning todays game. Just keep playing good WIN METHOD baseball and all will be ours.

Teena/Bronx said...

he weather is sunny for the Yankee/Angel game. It will be played with no precipitation. LOL
Go Yankees. Rock em.

Willie B said...

Lets do it Andy. The train is rarin' to go. CHOOOOOOOOOOCHOOOOOOOOO

Pat Piper said...

What a downer.

Dennis G said...

Should've, could've, would've, we just come back tomorrow. Gives CC something to pitch for.

Sharon/NC said...

We were do to lose one. Now we start a new streak to end the season.
Andy did well, but Swisher left men at third with less than one out in his first two at bats.

Frank R said...

Yes people, yesterdays loss was a tough one. Particularly since we had our chances to put it away early. But that is baseball, and today is another day and another winning streak to start. Strikes CC. or is it Choo choo.

bigbadwolf said...

Baseball and the WIN METHOD are one. To be the best in baseball, you must win. You must win your division or get one second chance by winning more games than any other team in your league and finishing second. Every game in the playoffs is magnified, but everyone gets a couple of chances to lose games but still move on to the next level of the playoffs by either winning 3 or 4 games before you lose 3 or 4 games. It is all about WINS and WINNING, the only way to judge the best players and teams. You are allowed to lose, but you can overcome the losses with WINS. What a great game baseball is. GO YANKEES.

Stan Musinski said...

CC throwing strikes and dominating is all we need. CC will get the train rolling again. choo choo.

Steve said...

I would think that one of these Yankee playoffs game is do for a rout. Logically in this game the rout should be in favor of the Yankees. Go team, lets get an easy win, but don't waste to many runs.
choo choo

Herb W said...

Mow them down CC. Take charge and dominate. This game is ours. Guys WHEN is what counts and to many of you are not producing WHEN. Look alive, the train is pulling out and CC is in charge. choo choo

Bill L said...

CC dominates, Yankee hitters dominate, the train is rolling again. One more then on we go. choo choo

William Mensom said...

A crushing game for the Angels. Sabathia is unquestionably the bes pitcher in baseball. Several wasted runs at the end. But I think we should be able to get one more win.

YankeeMike said...

The train after making a quick stop is back in high gear. A very strong win. But as WIN METHOD says, I wish we could have saved some of those runs and hits from the last three innings. choo choo

Benny Pake said...

CC has been all anyone could ask for.
Definitely the best pitcher in baseball. Day off, then lets close it out AJ.

Phil P said...

Rest today, finish the job tomorrow.

Larry Yankee said...

First time here. I was told about this blog. It is everything and more than what I was told. Love the philosophy and logic. As a Yankee fan who love the team and winning, I will be back and posting.

johnsondc said...

Welcome Larry Yankee. We love new fans of the WIN METHOD, the greatest player evaluation tool in the world.

Sean Smith said...

I am getting to like this day off during each series. It spreads the thrill for a longer duration. You can savor a win and chomp at the bit to get back into action after a loss. The longer the baseball season lasts the better I like it, because the other sports are for idiots.

Cindy J said...

One more win for us and we know we get the Phillies in the WS next week.
Strikes AJ, lets finish it off.

Paul H said...

Go AJ. Go Yankees. Strikes and hard AJ, wins the day.

Corey S said...

Blow the away AJ. Dominate and throw strikes. choo choo

Sid Lovitz said...

This should be another good game. This is now a must win game for the Angels and they will throw everything they have at us. Keep the train rolling right through the WS. choo choo

johnny said...

the yanks are the best

Herb W said...

choo choo. The train will be moving in 3 hours. choo choo. Lets go Yankees. choo choo

Larry Yankee said...

Take charge early and make them play our game.

Sid Lovitz said...

Wow what a game, but a tough loss. Back to NY to finish the job.

Erica Johnston said...

Andy can close this series out for us. This is the kind of game he likes and excels in.

Eddie OConnor said...

A rotten loss after a big comeback. But the Angels are a great team.

Sandro Icavor said...

One rotten inning for AJ and then he kept us in the game. What can you do, but reload and win Saturday. choo choo

Bobby Behan said...

If Pettitte can win game 6 then CC will start the WS and we will romp. choo choo Everybody choo choo. Lets get the train rolling.

bigbadwolf said...

Pettitte will hod fort and take charge. choo choo

Bill L said...

Everything is under control. The Yankees will wrap up this puppy tomorrow with an easy win. the train will then roll right though Philadelphia, Pa. dhoo dhoo

Teena/Bronx said...

The game will be played tonight. The heaviest storms are passing north and west of the city. There could be a shower or thunderstorm during the game, but the game will be played. choo choo

Sean Smith said...

Choo choo Yankees. Hit them early and hard. Let the train be a runaway tonight. Choo choo.

Linda Pardo said...

Show us the way yet again Captain Jeter. You are the chosen one. Start the train rolling and may it never look back. choo choo

Giambino said...

No question Jeter is the Yankee leader and defines baseball today. choo choo, good game Andy. choo choo

johnny said...

Vince Gandozi said...

Tom Loughlin said...

Rockem Andy. choo choo

Willie B said...

YANKEES win, the YANKEES win.

WIN METHOD said...

Game 6 canceled do to inclement weather. On for Sunday night. Same starters as of now.

Phil P said...

Oh well, we just seal the deal tomorrow.

WIN METHOD said...

I agree, we end it tomorrow and CC starts the WS. AJ in game 2 and Andy back for game 3.

Teena/Bronx said...

It has cleared out and game 6 will be played tonight. choo choo

Albert W said...

Lets end it tonight, once and for all. choo choo

Willie B said...

WIN METHOD rules, all others are fools. choo choo

Sam Brown said...

Great game from two great teams. The best team wins and is going to the WS. choo choo

WIN METHOD said...

Yes WIN METHOD fans, we have won another pennant. Let us all celebrate, but remember, we are not done yet. Lets all get ready to cheer for our team and help support them to the final goal, winning the WORLD SERIES. We will be playing the defending WS Champions and the best the nl has to offer. Lets move on and get the train rolling again. Choo choo.

Erica Nuyens said...

Hail WIN METHOD. Love ya

William Mensom said...

I feel it in my bones. Four straight wins for the Yankees against the Phillies. choo choo

Steve said...

Arod has sure changed. Did anyone else hear him say when interviewed after the win last night, how he has learned that wins and winning is all that counts. Now that's WIN METHOD.

Dennis G said...

SSSSWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPP

Sharon/NC said...

Looking forward to a good series and a Yankee win. The train starts moving in 2 days. All aboard, choo choo. For the non stop express. choo choo

Yankeeforever said...

Thank God. a site of great Yankee fans and people who know baseball and don't spout BS stats. A newbie here, but no more.

Walter Hammond said...

I like the four straight idea, but I will accept the winning of the Series in 5, 6, or 7 games. choo choo

Larry Yankee said...

I'm still in celebration mode. Now for one final touch, one final series win and the train can rest for the winter. choo choo

sid greenberg/nyc said...

They call this a turnpike series in the northeast. Referring to the NJ turnpike connecting NYC and Philly. Go Yankees, make it short and sweet. Choo choo.

Nat Pell said...

I like the sweep concept. Set up and mow them down. We can do it. choo choo

Chuck Adams said...

Get your tickets fans. the train is getting ready and will start its final trip of the season in another day. choo choo Go Yankees

Benny P said...

Chalk up number 27. The Phillies are national league. choo choo

Tom Loughlin said...

Just four more win. No problem. We have some guys just ready to start hitting NL pitching. choo choo

Justin P said...

Great prediction WIN METHOD. Rooting for you and the Yankees. choo choo

philly fan said...

Four straight, We'll see about that.

Teena/Bronx said...

Looks like rain moving into NY for Wednesday. How it will effect the game is still questionable. choo choo

Erica Nuyens said...

WIN METHOD said it, so be it. Yankees in four. choo choo love, ya.

Giambino said...

One more day, if the rain holds out. CC dominates. choo choo

Cindy J said...

Captain Jeter will continue to lead and show his team mates the light. choo choo

Dennis G said...

Lets get ready to rumble in the Bronx. Go Yankees. choo choo

Teena/Bronx said...

Rain will let up or be gone by game time.
choo choo

Frank R said...

With luck the series could be over Nov.1. choo choo

WIN METHOD said...

YANKEES over Phillies in 6 games.

Sean Smith said...

Six hours and counting until the Yankees start eliminating the Phillies. choo choo

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Throw hard, throw strikes CC. the game is yours and the WS will be ours. choo choo

bigbadwolf said...

OK Captain Jeter, time is growing near for the train to leave the station. Lead us down the right track to our final destination, our 27th World Series title. Choo choo.

Paul H said...

LETS GO YANKEES......LETS GO YANKEES......LETS GO YANKEES

johnsondc said...

Play as a WIN METHOD team guys. It makes no difference what any one person accomplishes. It is what the team accomplishes that counts, four more wins and one more series. choo choo

Hank Bisennet said...

Keep the faith Yankee fans. One game does not make a series. choo choo

Harold Jenkins said...

Here comes AJ to save the day. choo choo

Cindy J said...

We need a big one from AJ tonight. CC wasn't bad last night, but Lee was not going to lose last night the way he was pitching. choo choo

Benny Pake said...

No fear AJ. Throw it past them. Make them swing. choo choo

Tim H said...

AJ brilliant. Caries team to even series. dhoo dhoo

Dennis G said...

Very nice effort. a nice WIN METHOD win. On to Philly goes the train. choo choo

Eddie OConnor said...

Andys turn next to dazzle them. choo choo after a day off.

Vince Gandozi said...

Super game from AJ. Lets go Yankees.

Yankeeforever said...

I hope Arod hasn't reverted. Two WS games 8 ABs 6 Ks. AJ comes through in the pressure game. Three more wins.

Giambino said...

Grand game from Burnett. All even again. Now it's the best of five. Lets go Yankees. choo choo.

George H said...

AJ carries the day. Now the train can go non stop the rest of the way. choo choo

William Mensom said...

I think that game 3 cold be a possible deciding game in the WS. Particularly if Andy and the Yankees win. I do not think the Phils can come back from losing game three, but the Yankees could if they lost game three.

johnny said...

cmon yankees win choo choo

bigbadwolf said...

We can win this in 5 if Andy, CC, and AJ go and win games 3,4,5.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Lets go Yankees. Lets bring another WS to NY. choo choo

Gene P said...

Lets go Andy. Dominate and show them how to pitch. choo cho

Linda Pardo said...

If Andy is on and pitches the way he has been, we could rock and roll tonight. Lets get the train rolling quickly tonight. choo choo

Robert said...

Go Yankees. Win the WS for George and all he has done for us. choo choo

Walter Hammond said...

We need to ice this game early and let some bull pen guys get some outs without pressure to rebuild their confidence and sav Mo. choo choo

Chuck Adams said...

we are ready to board and roll. Lets try to go nonstop. choo choo

Alan A said...

All I want to hear is THEEEEEEEEE YANKEEEEEEEEEEES WWIINNNNNNNNNN

Teena/Bronx said...

It sure looks like some rain in Philly tonight. Let the Yankees win and the train roll on. choo choo.

YankeeMike said...

Peanuts, yes. Crackerjack, yes. Hotdogs, yes. Beer, yes. Let the game begin and the train roll. choo choo. Lead us Captain Jeter, lead us, yet again. choo choo.

johnsondc said...

It's all up to the bull pen now. This is how we lived all season. choo choo

Paul H said...

yes johnsondc. Joba 123 and Marte 123. Hughes will probably close. This games is ours. choo choo

William Mensom said...

Mo finishes it, getting 2 outs on 5 pitches. That is no even being used. He can surely go tomorrow if needed.

Larry Yankee said...

That is the game that may set us up really well. CC tomorrow looks good. the train is rolling. It may be an express. choo choo.

Ted L said...

Pettitte does it again with his arm and get a big hit with his bat. Pettitte is hitting better in the series than Ryan Howard. Rockem CC. aka Choo Choo.

Carl Pope said...

Nice effort last night. A real nice WIN METHOD team win. Good pitching and hitting beats down the Phillies. choo choo. Roll train roll. choo choo.

sidgreenberg/nyc said...

Throw hard and dominate CC. the pressure is on them. If they don't beat you tonight, they are doomed. Keep it going, plus you will need to match Pettittes hit.

Cindy J said...

Loved the game last night. Lets do it again tonight.

Bentley family said...

We love you WIN METHOD. We love winning. We love the Yankees.

George H said...

Dominate again CC. Give the, nothing. Keep the train rolling. choo choo

Dean K said...

Yankees. The best.

Walter Hammond said...

Mow them down CC. Then get a couple of hits also. choo choo

bigbadwolf said...

What a game. What can you say. The train keeps rolling, dhoo dhoo.

Paul H said...

At least I'll get a few hours of sleep before work. I thought I was going to be up for another hour or so.

Yankeeforever said...

Unbelievably exciting game. Especially when you win. One more win to close out the season to win the final and biggest series. choo choo

sid greenberg/nyc said...

No sport is as exciting as baseball. And Baseball gives you great games day after day. The Phillies never gave up and kept grinding away. But we won, and that is what counts.

Linda Pardo said...

AJ can win it all tomorrow. Jeter and Damon get 5 of the Yankee 9 hits and lead the way to the win. choo choo.

Teena/Bronx said...

Smart thinking by Damon stealing second and stealing third on the same play. Great game, and lets win it today. choo choo

Steve said...

What a game yesterday. Chills up and down spine. What a great game to win for the Yankees. Let the train reach its final destination today. CHOO CHOO CHOO CHOO.

Hank Bisennet said...

I loved last nights game. Comebacks and never say die at bats from both teams. But the best team won. choo choo

Harry Stavris said...

Nice win for our Yankees in game 4. Better win tonight in game 5.. choo choo

Larry Yankee said...

Dominate AJ. Throw strikes and make them swing. Lets get some runs for AJ and win this series tonight. We are the champions. choo choo

Vince Gandozi said...

Beat Lee. We can and will beat Lee. choo choo

Alan A said...

I agree with you all. Lets beat Lee tonight and show the world just how good we are. GO YANKEES. CHOO CHOO

Steve said...

Mike Francesa was ripping the Yankees and Girardi for starting AJ tonight instead of Gaudin. Francesa feels that Lee will beat the Yankees easily and then the Yankees will not have AJ to start on full rest in game 6. But will have to use a short rested Pettitte, and feels Andy will not have anything, will lose and then the Yankees will have to use CC again on short rest in a game 7. Lets beat Lee tonight and make Francesa wrong one more time.

YankeeMike said...

Lets get it done guys. Get it done tonight. Take Lee and the Phillies out. The journey ends, choo choo.

Dennis G said...

Lets go Yankees lets go. Lets go Yankees lets go.

Nancy said...

Yes, lets go Yankees lets go. Go AJ, lead us Captain Jeter, show us the way, again. choo choo

Eddie OConnor said...

Now's the time Yankee fans. Let the game begin. choo choo

johnsondc said...

Oh well, we will just have to win it all at home. choo choo

Evan said...

What a thrilling game, even in defear. Yes, we will win it at home. choo choo.

Pat Piper said...

We tried, but the captain let us down. So we win it at home.

Giambino said...

AJ didn't have it. Neither did Coke.
But we kept fighting to the end, sending the tying run to the plate in the ninth. tomorrow we close it out at home.

Phil Jones said...

We need one final WIN METHOD win to close out the season.

Walter Hammond said...

Just one more win. Andy, the crafty, gritty, give it your all veteran to carry the day. choo choo

bigbadwolf said...

It would be very nice to pound the hell out of Pedro tomorrow and win the WS on is loss. How fitting.

Tony P said...

Tough loss, but it will be nice to win the series at the new Yankee Stadium. It would be fitting for Yankee fans.

YankeeMike said...

I am predicting the Yankees will pound Pedro tonight and win in a romp.

George K said...

Yes, lets beat up on Pedro the sniveler and win it all tonight. Go Yankees.

johnsondc said...

The Yankees win. Enough said.

William Mensom said...

From your words to Gods ears johnsondc. Go Yankees.

Bentley family said...

Just one more win. and tonights the night. choo choo

Erica Johnston said...

The time is drawing near for all great Yankees to step to the plate and take charge. choo choo

Teena/Bronx said...

I love Japanese food. choo choo
