By now most YANKEE fans have heard the terrible news about the greatest closer in baseball history, Mariano Rivera. Mo tore his right ACL shagging flies in the outfield in Kansas City before last nights game. Rivera will have to decide to come back or not. He was thinking of retiring after this year. My wife and I just had lunch with Mo in Baltimore in early April. I am so sad and I am shedding tears as many YANKEE fans will. I hope Mo decides to return and leave baseball from the mound as he deserves. You are loved Mo. In life, one never knows what will happen, but we must play the cards we are dealt and move forward.
What will the YANKEES do to replace Rivera for this season. They have decisions to make. We will all have opinions, here is mine. Robertson becomes the closer. I would move either Phelps or Hughes to the bullpen as setup man along with Soriano. I would tell Soriano he needs to step up big time. Joba may be back for the second half of the season. Starters would be CC, Kuroda, Nova, Pettitte, (Phelps or Hughes) or someone who may be ready to step in. Adam Warren is a possibility. Mitchell to the bullpen. Play for six innings from the starters and finish off the seventh, eight, by any of the group or combinations of the group with Robertson closing it out.
Have a team meeting and a no feeling sorry for yourselves wake up talk. Jeter will lead the way, he always has. The lineup needs to step up and stop taking big dollars for not producing. Yes, Arod, you are the number one culprit. But there are other right now. Grind out every day every game and make the playoffs. Damn it, play WIN METHOD baseball. You can't win every game, but you can win enough to move to the second season.
We are YANKEES and we are WIN METHOD. We are the best. Lets hear it fans........
LETS GO YANKEES....LETS GO YANKEES

Keep it going Andy. This train is an express with limited stops.
Wipe down, sweep up, and clean house. Put the Mets out with the trash.
I like that, clean house. Lets go Yankees.
Lets go guys, lets get another W.
Ssssssswwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppp.
Game time, lets get it done. Sparkle and dazzle Andy. Hit WHEN guys.
Mets score three times in the second off Andy with the help of Cano error.
Mets lead 3-0 after five. Yankee bats silent.
Yank bottom of 6th. First and third one out, Afraud can't bring in run and ends innings with a DP grounder.
Fraud
Yanks cut Met lead to 3-2 on Russell Martin 2 run blast in the 7th.
Led by Jeter hit and hustle Yanks rally for 2 8th inning runs and a 4-3 lead. Soriano for the save in the 9th.
Yanks up 4-3 after eight.
Jeter, Grandyman, and Tes deliver for a 4-3 Yankee lead after 8.
Soriano blows the save on the first two batters.
Logan comes in to save Soriano and Yanks, but it is 4-4 with Yanks coming with a chance of sudden win.
Martin wins it with a walk off home run. 5-4 win and a sweep.
Theeeeee Yankeeeeeeeees Winnnnnn. 5-4 on a walk off HR from Martin. His second HR of the game.
A WIN METHOD baseball win and game and streak.
Great win. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeep.
It wasn't pretty, but we hung in there and triumphed. I'll take a win any way I can get it.
Onto Atlanta and hot humid rainy weather. Lets take another series.
The AL East continues to be the beast of MLB.
Cross your fingers as the Yankee pitchers bat at the inferior league parks.
Isn't the rotation Nova, CC, Kuroda.
Yes rick, that should be the rotation. but there is a lot of rain forecast down that way.
No let up guys. Relax and you lose. Wins is what we play for.
I can't believe I was at the only Yankee loss in the past week.
We forgive you Teena.
Do it again Ivan, keep everything rolling.
Lets go guys. Take it to them. Another win Nova.
Yankees with single runs in the 1st., 2nd., and 3rd. lead 3-0 after 3.
3-0 Yanks after five.
Arod does it again. first and third one out and he hits into another double play. can't score the runner from third with less than two out. Still 3-0 after 6.
Final 3-0 Yanks. Nova goes seven very strong innings. Rapada, Wade, and Logan finish the 8th and 9th.
Missed a lot of opportunities to blow the game open, but none the less, a win.
Excellent outing for Nova who earns another win. CC tomorrow for the series.
Come on CC, don't be the bump in the wheel again. Win and get the series in the bag.
There is no question the CC and Nova are the best one two punch in baseball. Add in Pettitte, Hughes, and Kuroda and you have one heck of a rotation that is very likely the best in baseball.
Nova was sharp again. the bullpen did its job, and the Yankees won. The world is right.
Been a Yankee fan for a long time and I finally came around to this blog. It is positive and a great read. Winning is what it is all about.
Be the ace CC. There are guys right on your heels.
Everybody have a good game and keep the good run going.
CC gives up 3 quick runs and the Yanks are down 3-0 after 3.
What a sweet win coming back from 4-0 with 6 in the 8th. CC got the win, Rapada the hold and Soriano the save. Series taken.
Super come back win with Afraud delievering when it counts for a change. Swisher with the game winner.
Go for the sweep today. Another serioes in the bag.
LETS GO YANKEES SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
Can we pull off a double down sweep?
Game time. Do it again Hiroki. Shut them down.
Yanks jump out front 1-0 after one on Jeter lead off double and a RBI single from Afraud. Go Afraud go.
1-0 Yanks after 4 in a steady rain.
Yanks win 3-2. Sweeeeeeeppppp.
Kuroda 6 innings 2 runs. Logan, Eppley, Soriano, shutout 7th, 8th, 9th for the win, hold and save. Sweep.
Double down sweep for the Yankees. Yanks now 8-1 against nl teams this year. Oh yeah, we have taken over first place. WINS!!!!!
We are going great right now. But fans, remember one of WIN METHODS greatest tenets. 'No team is as good as they appear when they are red hot, and no team is as bad as they appear when they are ice cold.'
Oh how true William. But it is sure nice to be hot. Just have to limit the cold spells. Nice win for two straight sweeps now.
The train is moving very nicely. All without Mo, Robertson, and Joba. A true testament on just how great the WIN METHOD is and how deep this team is.
Enjoy today off and then be ready for a real tough weekend of baseball against a really good team.
That's the B D and 4 train Mark. They all stop at the Stadium.
LETS GO YANKEES....LETS GO YANKEES
Back in action tonight. Keep the run going, the train moving, and win.
Thank you for another informative blog. Where else may just I get that
kind of information written in such a perfect way?
I have a mission that I am just now operating on, and I've been on the look out for such information.
Also visit my webpage ... Posted by My Industrial Injury Claims.com
Come on Phil, give us another good one.
This series is going to be a barn burner as we move into the lions den.
Yankees up and clinging to a 2-1 lead after 5.
Jeter with a big WHEN it counts hit with the bases loaded in the 7th breaks game open and the Yankees lead 6-1 after 7. Hughes on tap for the win with another terrific effort.
It sure looks like Hughes is back. One run over six innings. Eppley with a shutout seventh, Yanks up 6-1.
Rapada with a 1,2,3 8th. 6-1 Yanks.
6-1 Yanks after 8. The train is rolling. And game one is ours.
This is what a stat fraud, and extra ignorant one may I add, posted as Jeter was coming up in the 7th with the bases loaded and one out..."""They need to ph for Jeter here""". Wrong, fraud. Jeter delivers the single that breaks the game open.
Robertson come in for the 9th. a perfect spot to get his feet wet. He allows a run, a meaningless one but closes out the 9th. Yanks win it 7-2.
Theeeeeeee Yankeeeeeees Winnnnnn.
7 straight. 17-4 run. .810 win % during run.
Great to win first game of this series. Andy tomorrow. Go Yankees.
Nice to see Robertson get back and get an inning of work without pressure. Girardi is a genius at putting people in the right spot at the right time.
I have to admit, before the National series started I would have been happy with one win. that is now in the bank.
Keep it going Andy. Keep it going team. Lets go Yankees.
Take them down and keep the train moving Andy.
A few more clutch hits recently. Sure makes a difference between winning and losing.
Nats core first with two in the second on a run broken bat double off the left field wall.
Yanks get one back in the fourth and cut Nat lead to 2-1 after four.
Yanks score 2 in the 6th and lead 3-2 after 6. Real good game.
Challenge accepted joek. Heck bring you and your friends over for a nice chat.
http://www.basketballforum.com/major-league-baseball/467289-2012-baseball-season-discussion-thread.html
Extra innings.
Headed to the 12th. 3-3 after 11.
Garcia in to pitch and throws a 1,2,3 12th. On to the 13th.
Teixeira 2 RBI double gives Yanks 5-3 lead in the 14th.
It's over 5-3 we win. Garcia the win, Soriano the save, Tex the game winning hit.
8 in a row. 18-4 last 22. Another series won and go for the triple sweep tomorrow.
WOW. We are getting the breaks and the wins.
What a game. Phenom Harper goes 0-7 with 5 Ks and ends the game with two men on.
What a grand win. Jeter goes from an 0-2 count to get the hit that sets up the inning for the win on Texs game winner.
Pettitte 2 runs in 7 innings + bullpen 1 run in 7 innings = WIN.
CC for the sweep.
For anonymous at basketball forum. I, and am sure all the knowledgeable WIN METHOD fans here gladly accept your challenge and that of anyone who thinks individual stats are more important than wins and winning.
To force WIN METHOD fans to have to sign up and post at a forum over run with advertisements and cluttered with debris is not what the WIN METHOD is about. Just as you were able to post anonymously (with no name provided) and did not have to go through a meaningless signup process, I think it far more logical that any of your stat fraud cronies come here and post legitimate questions and concerns that any WIN METHOD fan can address with common sense and logic. Here at the WIN METHOD blog, there are no tedious signup procedures, no page cluttering advertisements, just good intelligent baseball wisdom. Carry on, the ball is in your court and the WIN METHOD fans are winning already. Remember, no profanity allowed, good luck.
CC for the sweep today. Step up CC, you are being challenged for #1.
Hey anonymous, bring it on. Love to see how foolish you are trying to explain anything is more important than winning.
Now two wins in the bank and as I stated I would have been happy with one. Glad I am not on the field.
Lets see if the anonymous stat fraud comes back and if he brings any of his buddies here to an unencumbered site.
Get the brooms out, Time to sweeeeep again.
Guys, Nova is starting today. CC tomorrow.
The fraud pops out with runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs. Same old, same old. Tex gets sac fly for a 1-0 early lead.
1-1 after 3.
2-1 Yanks sfter 5 on Grandyman Ballantine blast.
Cano with a Ballantine blast in the 7th.
4-1 Yankees after 8 as Ivan Nova goes 7 2/3 sparkling innings.
9 in a row. Great outing by Nova.
Nice streak and 11-1 against the inferior nl so far this season. Keep it going.
Lost in all of todays hoopla, Soriano closed the game with 3 up 3 down save.
I see our no name anonymous stat fraud offers a challenge, then grabs his ankles, and ducks for cover.
Remember fans, no team is as good as when they are playing hot as fire. CC on tap for tonight in NY.
One day one game one win at a time.
Puck puck paaaaaaaw stat fraud.
Go CC. Make it look easy.
The win streak goes into double figures tonight.
Almost win time.
Jeter delivers when it counts. Two out bases loaded single up the middle for the tying and go ahead runs. Yanks up 3-2 after five.
Another brilliant defensive play by jeter, the best shortstop in the game. Bullet hit up the middle, Jeter makes full out dive to glove the ball and get the force out at second. Hi lite play.
Tex with HR in 6th, Jeter with another 2 out rbi single in the 7th and the Yanks lead 5-2 after 7.
CC has been pretty sharp and in control. Just finishes the eighth and is leading 5-2. no jinx, this makes 10 in a row with 3 more outs.
CC throws complete game giving the bullpen the night off. Jeets the hitting star with 3 rbi's on 2 2 out clutch hits.
That's 10 in a row and 20-4 over the last 24 games.
Remember the choo choo.
We are killing the stat frauds with wins.
Kuroda for the series tomorrow and the teams 11th straight. WINS
Hiroki Kuroda goes for the teams 11th consecutive win tonight. Keep the train rolling guys. Choo choo.
There is absolutely no doubt, the WIN METHOD blog, WIN METHOD, and the fans here are the best there is. Keep up the fantastic work. Love ya,
Unfortunately with the Yankees playing the Braves and Mets again this week, the win streak most likely has to come to an end. It is very unlikely one team can beat two others 6 straight teams each. All good things must come to an end.
2 hours till game time. LETS GO YANKEES
Just another win, one more time.
3-3 after 5.
Yanks down 4-3 after 7. Two more shots.
We all knew it had to happen. the Yankees lost last night 4-3. close but no cigar, and a game we could have, should have won.
OK Hughesy get us back on track today.
Good to have a quick turn around game after last nights loss. WIN today, and take the series.
Lets get the win.
We are getting hammered. Down 6-2 in the sixth.
2 losses in a row. All around bad game today.
Afraud does it again. delivers for the opposing team. As the Yankees clawed their way back this afternoon Afraud dashed the teams hope with yet another double play grounder with the tying run at third base and a runner on at first. The score was 6-5 and a fly ball ties the game. but no, the fraud fails again and again, over and over.
Two losses in a row is not good. Day off today and three games with the Mets this weekend. We need to bounce back. Rotation, Pettitte, Nova, CC.
We better not take the Mets lightly, they are surely looking for revenge.
Yep, it should be bang up weekend. the Mets scare me. They are playing very much WIN METHOD type of baseball.
Andy Pettitte tonight to dazzle the Mets and get us a W.
Break the slide Andy. Lets go Yankees.
We may have to play around some storms tonight.
One bad inning is all it takes to go down three straight. No clutch hitting.
Man do we need a win tonight. One rotten inning last night. Bury the low life Mets.
We needed last nights win. It wasn't easy, but it counts.
Ibanez older than Afraud is a bettr clutch players and at a fraction of the cost, twice th;e player Afraud is.
Todays game could be a barn burner.
The Mets have certainly given a good account of themselves and are no pushovers. Dickey coming off of back to back one hitters.
One hour to the dreaded Sunday night espn game time.
Swisher tags Dickey for a 3 run blast and the Yankees lead 4-1 after 3.
CC and Dickey flop. Both out of game as Mets claw their way back. 5-5 after six.
Yankee bullpen 3 1/3 of no run ball. Yanks win 6-5.
Cano HR in 8th decides game. 6-5 Yankees.
Robertson for the hold and Soriano for another save. Yanks win 6-5 and take 5 of 6 from a scrappy Met team.
Kuroda tonight against the Indians at the Stadium. Interleague play is finished for this year with the much superior American League again domination the far inferior national league.
Five of six from the Mets in 2012. I guess everyone knows who the best team in NY is.
Kuroda goes tonight. Just keep winning. Only wins earn championships and signify the best players and teams.
No let up after the Met series guys. Keep winning.
Lets go Yankees. The future is looking good.
Get it done Hiroki. Get it done.
Get it done Hiroki, get it done.
Cano first inning double drives in two as Yanks take a 2-0 first inning lead.
Dewayne Wise 2 run HR in 2nd gives the Yanks a 4-0 lead after 2.
Back to back blasts by Cano and Swisher in the third make it 6-0 after 3.
This game is ours. A laugher for a change.
Yanks up 7-0 afte 5. Kuroda very sharp tonight. Jeter, the best defensive shortstop in baseball makes two spectacular defensive plays tonight.
YANKEES dominate the Cleveland Indians tonight as Hiroki Kuroda comes up with a very sharp one run effort. Rapada a 1,2,3 eights and Garcia a 1,2,3 ninth. Shortstop Derek Jeter makes two more spectacular defensive plays. Ho hum, just another win.
Just an all around nice game tonight. The bullpen gets break and things are still moving along very nicely.
Garcia was hitting 90 on his fastbll last night. When he does that he can be a very effective pitcher considering all the movement on his other pitches.
Hughes goes tonight and needs to come back with a good game.
There is no stat in this world more important than wins and losses.....except in the minds of mind numbed stat frauds who know little to nothing.
We have another streak quietly going. Not so quiet now. Three straight going for four with Hughes tonight.
Do it Phil. Get the win. Bare down.
Lets go Yankees.
Yanks jump out 3-0 after 2.
Yanks up 5-0 after 7. Hughes has been dazzling.
Final 6-4 Yanks, but it wasn't close. Hughes 8 innings of magnificent pitching. Then Wade starts the 9th and gets rocked for 4 runs, allowing Soriano to get a 2 pitch save.
Great game for Hughes and four in a row for the team. Pettitte for the sweep tomorrow.
So far so good against the Tribe. Now for the sweep from Andy Pettitte this afternoon.
Another sweep would be nice, but just taking each series guarantees the playoffs.
Lets sweep Andy and make it five in a row.
Yanks up 2-1 after four. Come on guys, win this.
4-3 Yanks after six. It ain't easy today.
We squeak by for five straight wins. Garcia gets the win, soriano a very weak save. Cano 2 and Chavez 3 RBIs to win the game.
Another sweeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppppppppp.
Nice win for the series sweep.
CC on 15 DL with strained groin. Who will go in CCs spot?
Four game weekend series with the White Sox starts tomorrow.
Hey fans, I'm back. Will have a blog post shortly. A lot of good stuff. Adam Warren my special WIN METHOD selection a few years back is going to be called up and will likely make his first major league start shortly.
Pettitte cracks bone in ankle today on batted ball and is likely out 4 to 6 weeks. Warren will get a big shot at the big time.
All the injuries this year, the players lost for the season, very extended periods, the seriousness of the injuries and all of it is overcome by the depth, the quality, the pure greatness of the WIN METHOD player evaluation system. No stat frauds, it is not luck, it is the best man in baseball evaluation making WIN METHOD decisions that keeps the Yankees the best there is, rain or shine.
You are so right William. WIN METHOD does know what it takes to win and he sure knows what he is doing with his draft selections and other signings.
Play one game at a time and win a few more than we lose consistently and we will be fine.
Glad you are back WIN METHOD. First place and playing well despite all the injuries. Love ya
We are down to or up to Nova, Hughes, Kuroda as our three top starters right now. Any team in baseball would die to have these three starters on their team.
Nova tonight. Lets get number six guys.
A great day for celebrating the old with the new. love ya WIN METHOD
Seven game road trip. I can live with 4-3. Would love 5-2 or better.
We are nearing the end of a 20 game run without a day off. Played 18 with 2 to go and are 11-7, yet we are not doing what needs to be done and are not really looking good.
Mo said he is returning for the 2013 season. That is great.
Rivera did return and this will be his final year. Hopefully it will be a big year with all the trimmings.
