Coming back from a whirlwind five weeks on the road. Started with the YANKEE western swing in late May to Oakland to Anaheim to Detroit. Interviews, interviews, interviews, the draft, and finally the College World Series.
We got everything we wanted out of this years draft. Picking almost last each year and still coming through with some of the best baseball talent is a feather in the cap of the WIN METHOD player evaluation system. The YANKEES since the inception and use of the WIN METHOD have been baseballs winning-est team with the most playoffs, pennants, and World Championships than any other team in baseball. Factually, no other team comes even close.
How about this years team. Riddled with crippling injuries, and many other lesser injuries, this team has performed admirably. First place, with player after player stepping up and playing WIN METHOD baseball. Winning as a team. WINS is all that counts.
How many of you remember my special WIN METHOD selection back in 2009 of Adam Warren and his rise through the ranks? Well, Adam is being called up by the YANKEES and will start Friday nights game in the Stadium against the Chicago White Sox. Good luck, Adam. Remember it's all about the WIN METHOD.
If any of you want a good laugh, you can go to several of the baseball talk forums. Go to the the YANKEE threads and you will see just what is meant by the dumbing down of America. Most, not all, but most posters know little to nothing about baseball, they get mired in mind numbing meaningless, worthless individual stats and when confronted whine and cry like immature childlike fools. The worst is, the moderators are the biggest and dumbest culprits. When threatened and provided facts and collaborating sites they immediately demean the poster and the other valid sites. All you can do is laugh at these brain dead losers. These guys are in their comfort zone when they are supported by their clique of mental delinquents, but know if they come here to debate anything they will get buried by an avalanche of common sense and facts from the smartest fans in the baseball world, WIN METHOD fans. They have no game and what game they have is losing and claiming they are the best.
In the second half of this season we will have several quality players coming back and this team will get better and better. All the while, the youngsters picked over the last few years develop and get ripe until they are needed and ready to be picked and promoted.

1 – 200 of 1823 Newer› Newest»Welcome back. Lets go Yankees.
Get this series started out right Ivan with a win. Lineup, our pitchers need you guys to step up. Lets roll.
Great post WIN METHOD, but I have come to expect that. Love ya
Keep on winning guys, it makes the wounded feel good.
Win game one. It makes life easier. Do it Ivan. Lead the way Cap.
Nice to have you back WIN METHOD. Everything going great here. Just wins and winning.
No score after two. Hey! WIN METHOD.
Yanks go up 2-1 after 5 on back to back RBI doubles from Afraud and Cano.
Teixeira homers for an insurance run in the 8th giving the Yanks a 3-1 lead.
Tex with a Ballantine blast for a 3-1 lead after 8.
Rapad and Robertson give the game away in the 9th. Rapada with an error on a comeback double play ball and then Robertson surrenders a three run home run.
What a downer as the pen blows the game in the 9th.
One conciliation, which is really no way to look at things, but the O's, Rays, and Jays all lost also tonight.
We could have stretched the gap a full game on each.
One heck of a sorrowful loss.
Being down two starters, you can't give away any games. Just more pressure on Warren tomorrow. Pressure he doesn't need. But he is WIN METHOD.
I guess I am addicted. I can't sleep and keep seeing Rapada throwing the ball wildly into centerfield.
Everyone make an error once in awhile. This one just cost us dearly. Robertson made a good pitch, the hitter did better and hit it out. that's baseball. It all would have been moot if the lineup scored some runs instead of playing dead to Axelrods junk.
Sure is a tough spot for a rookie pitcher making his first start. We could be down 2 games in a 4 game series.
I would be going to New York for Warrens debut game tonight, but I just need to kick back and relax. Five hectic weeks in hotels and traveling and interviewing constantly takes its toll. Keep us in the game Adam.
Take it easy man, you have done more than anyone for the late Mr.S. and the Yankees.
Yes, relax WIN METHOD. Love ya
We're rooting for you Adam.
Throw strikes Warren, just throw strikes. Give the kid some hit support guys. Wake up Arod.
A win tonight in CCs rotation spot would be big. Lets do it. Lets go Yankees.
Lets make this easy. Everybody hits and Warren pitches good enough to win.
The Yankees give Warren four first inning runs and he promptly gives them all back and then some. Goes 2 1/3. Well, he got his feet wet. Phelps now in to hopefully stop the bleeding.
Yanks take Warren off the hook with 2 game tying runs in the 4th. 6-6 after four. Phelps still in there.
Yanks down 8-6 after 6 and Wade comes in and allows 2 runs instantly. Hose up 10-6 and batting in the 7th.
Warren got rocked. We got doubled up losing 14-7. Now we can get back to business and even this series with a win today and tomorrow.
If you lose you might as well get beat up. Lets respond with a couple of wins right back and send the Sox packing.
A couple of losses can be a good wake up call. No one is giving us anything, we have to earn it and take it.
After bashing Yankee pitching for 19 hits last night, the White Sox will have a hard time facing Hiroki Kuroda this afternoon.
After all those hits and runs the Chitowners should be tired. Take them down Hiroki.
Return the trouncing and win the next two. LETS GO YANKEES....LETS GO YANKEES
1-0 Yankees after 1 on a Grandygram.
2-0 Yankees after four.
Kuroda has been sharp again.
I guess the Sox bats are worn out from yesterday.
Wise blast makes it 3-0 after five.
A Canote makes it 4-0 in the bottom of the 6th.
Kuroda goes 7 brilliant innings. No runs 3 hits 11 Ks. 4-0 Yanks after 7.
Very nice win today after the past two debacles.
WIN METHOD has always been right and the stat fans have always been wrong. Baseball is only about WINS.
After todays game going to take the wife out for a movie and chinese food.
Kuroda has done very well for us and has been a quality starter pretty consistently.
Get up early WIN METHOD fans who have the YES network. Old Timers Day and many old friends.
Hughes tomorrow to keep on track with a win.
Old Timers Day at the Stadium today. Much fun and memories of being the best the most. Lets go Yankees.
Love OTD and would love to beat the Sox today. Do it again Phil.
As things now stand, we can't be caught unless we lose. That is why only wins count, all other stats means squat.
After the celebration game we play for a real win and then head into the last week before the All Star Game break.
As I watch and celebrate the intelligent people who know baseball acknowledge Championships, wins, and winning at the Yankee Old Timers day, it saddens me to think about he losers of lifes' lottery, the stat frauds who can only drown in stupidity, losses, losing, and excuses of ifs ands and buts.
I don't think you ever posted anything that wasn't right bill. I agree.
Right on William. Oldster game has been fun. Just need a win in the real game.
YES!! Afraud is completely out of the lineup. We roll.
Hughes allows two first inning runs. Now it's our turn.
After loading the bases with no one out, the Yanks fail to score. down 2-0 afte one.
Two run blast by Chavez ties it 2-2 after two. Sure nice not having Afraud in the lineup.
Cano two run blast gives Yankees 4-2 lead after 3.
Afraud who? No loss whatsoever.
After the first inning Hughes has been spot on and is in total control.
Still holding a 4-2 lead after six. Keep on chugging Phil.
Hughes complete 8 innings of 2 run ball, only allowing the 2 first inning runs. Only need the bullpen for the 9th.
Another dominating effort and win from Phil Hughes.
Soriano does get another save.
5-2 on the home stand. On to Tampa for 3 and then 4 in Boston on the weekend before the All Star break. Garcia, Nova, Phelps for the 3 in Tampa. Kuroda, Hughes, Garcia, Nova in Boston should be the likely rotation.
I would think Garcia start in Boston may be dependent on his start in Tampa.
It would sure help and even be nice if the bats carried the pitching staff this week.
At best if we can get five good innings from Garcia it would be great. At least the bullpen is rested and ready.
Garcia has been hitting 90 mph in his relief stints. That may be the difference in his effectiveness.
Garcia is a competitor, he will give his all, but will it be good enough?
Are you mentally ill?
Be the man Freddy.
So far five good innings out of Garcia. 2-1 Yanks after five.
Girardi may try to get six from Freddy, then it has to go to the bullpen. We are pounding Moore but not scoring any runs.
Girardi may try to get six from Freddy, then it has to go to the bullpen. We are pounding Moore but not scoring any runs.
Garcia gives up the tying HR in the 6th and is taken out after 5 1/3. We need a few runs and good pitching from the bullpen to win this.
Yanks take 3-2 lead in top of 7th and then Robertson gives it away in the bottom of the 7th. Rays up 4-3 after 7.
We lose it 4-3. Nova to get us even tomorrow. Arod has nothing left after his steroid use. He nailed a pitch to the warning track. In his cheating days the ball would have been far into the seats.
We haven't won a game in Tampa in a year.
Can't blame last nights loss on Garcia. He earned another start as Pettittes replacement.
This is a game for Nova. He excels and dominates and we even the series.
Even if we lose every game that CC and Pettitte would have started, which we won't, and we win every game that Nova, Hughes, and Kuroda start, which we won't, we would still be playing .600 ball.
I went to several baseball forum Yankee sites and the only logic and breath of fresh air on any of them are the WIN METHOD posts. the stat frauds step all over each other trying to bad mouth the WIN METHOD and defend their position of losing is better than winning.
The frauds are desperate. They get embarrassed when confronted with WIN METHOD logic. So the demean and attack in the most nasty ways.
Win another Ivan. Get some runs guys.
We want this game, just in case.
You are the man Ivan. WINS
Game time.
Afraud is still the black hole of the lineup as Yanks score two first inning runs.
2-0 Yanks after 2.
Wise with dinger in the third, then Nova allows three runs in the bottom of the third. 3-3.
Afraud is a disaster. Yanks down 5-4 after four. Afraud is a disaster.
Nova was not his best, but he did not deserve to lose tonight. Poor base running and poor defense combined Afrauds total uselessness at the plate and on the field make for a 7-4 loss.
Wow, we could get swept again in Tampa. Phelps to the rescue?
We single handedly keep the Rays alive.
Happy 4th of July everyone and lets celebrate with a Yankee doodle dandy WIN.
SABR is useless, I follow the WIN METHOD.
http://winmethod.blogspot.com/
The above was posted on a sabr oriented forum.
Today we celebrate America. And hopefully a Yankee win.
Happy fourth Yankee fans. May God bless America. Lets go Yankees.
Happy 4th. Fireworks this afternoon followed by fireworks tonight.
Enjoy the 4th. Enjoy your cookouts. Enjoy your family and friends.
Get the win, avoid th sweep. Happy July 4th.
Eat drink and be merry as we celebrate our great nation. Enjoy all.
Lets go guys, lets win this one.
Enjoy the day and the fireworks. And hopefully a win.
Win it for the good of America. Go Yankees.
No runs no hits no errors for either team after three.
Rays up 1-0 after five.
Rays with 2 in 7th take 3-1 lead. Yanks come back with 3 in the 8th for a 4-3 lead. Rays batting in the 8th.
Robertson puts down the Rays in the 8th. 4-3 Yankees after 8. Soriano for the 9th?
Soriano gets the Rays 3 up 3 down for the Yankee win and a save. Robertson gets a hold.
Happy 4th, the Yankees wwwwiiiiinnnn.
Great four innings from Phelps. Jeter with three hits. And a win we needed to avoid another sweep.
Party time. Fireworks later. The Yankees win.
The win just makes the day a bit nicer and celebratory. Tough win.
Lest we forget. Kyle Farnsworth deserves a big thank you.
Fireworks in half an hour here. Off day tomorrow and on to Boston for four with the sux. Happy 4th everyone.
Hope everyone had a nice holiday. the win was sure nice.
Lost 2 of 3 in Tampa but still holding a decent lead. WINS Make the playoffs, nothing else matters.
A summer day without a Yankee game is a wasted day.
Can't argue that Erica.
Kuroda, Hughes, Garcia, Nova for the four games. And a rest and ready pen.
$ game in 3 days with the bosux. 4 win is great. 3 wins is fine. 2 wins is OK. 1 win is not good. 0 wins is rotten.
I love winning the first game of a series and then play from ahead. Especially on the road. Puts more pressure on the opposition.
Do it again Kuroda.
Get us the first win tonight Hiroki. Lets get some runs guys. Pound the wall.
Game time Lets go Yankees. Lets roll.
First inning, Yanks score five, then Kuroda promptly gives up five as both team bat around.
5-5 after 1. Yes 5-5.
6-6 after 2. It looks like batting practice.
Yanks down 7=6 after 5.
Yankees score 4 in the 7th and take a 10-8 lead after 7. If Kuroda had anything this game would be locked up.
Yanks up 10-8 after 7. Robertson gets last out in the 7th with a K with 2 men on.
10-8 Yanks after 8. Soriano gets last out in the 8th and will try for a 4 out save.
10-8 win. Yes!
Soriano with 3 up 3 down in the 9th for another save and a 10-8 Yankee win.
10-8 Yanks. Game one is ours.
Good game, but should have been an easy win. But a win.
Good win as the lineup delivered when our starter didn't. A team game where only wins matter.
Day night double header today. Lets take two.
If the lineup does what it did last night, we will be in good shape this weekend.
Lets get off on the right foot.
Freddy Garcia is starting this afternoons game. He was given the choice by manager Joe Girardi and Garcia said he would rather pitch in the heat. If Freddy can give us five good innings it would be great, any more would be icing on the cake. Everybody hits. Lets go Yankees.
Jeter leads another game off with a hit and ignites another big inning for the Yankees. Yanks score four in the first. Garcia shuts down the sux in the first and the Yanks lead 4-0 after one.
We have two men picked off first base in the top of the third killing a possible rally, but still lead 4-0 after four. Garcia looking good.
Yankee bats are alive and the hills are alive with the sound of runs. Back to back homers for the 2nd time in the game give the Yankees a 6-0 lead after 3 1/2.
We have five innings of quality work from Garcia and lead 6-1 after five.
Garcia has now given us six innings of one run pitching. Beautiful Freddy.
Garcia is pulled after giving up a 2 out hit in the 7th. Eppley gets the final out. 6 2/3 of spectacular bal from Freddy. He will earn the win for himself and the team.
6-1 Yanks with the bosux last at bats coming up. Going to be a very very nice win.
6-1 final as Qualls mops up the ninth. Win guarantees a series split, but we want it all now. Hughes goes in tonights game with a well rested bullpen behind him.
A very nice win. Two games in the bank. Jeter with 8 hits in last 3 games to lead the way for the lineup.
Good win, lets keep it going. Two more wins and we could bury the sux before the All Star game.
I would love to sweep the sux.
Make it happen Phil. Tame the 'big puppy'.
Clinch the series tonight. Everybody hits.
We are starting to slide. Three first inning runs tonight. Yanks up 3-0 after one.
sux get one back. 3-1 Yanks after 4.
sux keep chipping away. 3-2 Yanks after 5.
Hughes getting bad break and poor defense leaves game with Yanks losing 5-3 after six.
Andruw Jones gets one back for the Yanks with his third home run of the day. 5-4 sux up coming to bat in the 7th.
Wade in the 7th crashes and burns again. We will need several runs in the 8th and 9th to pull this one out.
Yanks down 9-4 after 7. We may have seen the last of Wade in a Yankee uniform.
We played one heck of a rotten game last night. Hughes was not his best, the defense was rotten, and the offense not much better. I guess you have to have a stinker every once in a while.
Sadly we have the 8PM espn game again tonight. The price you must pay for being the best.
Some facts. We are 3-3 on this road trip with 1 more game to play. If we lose tonight we would still be @ 6 games in front at the all star break and we will have played even baseball with 2 of our top rivals killing a week of the season without them gaining. If we win tonight we would be 4-3 on the trip, in better shape, and at minimum killed that same week of the season while maintaining a soled lead. About .500 ball on the road against your main rivals usually means you win the pennant.
This is a good game to win and take the sux series 3 games to 1.
Come on Ivan, lets go home with a win.
Lets get ready for our last game for a few days. Let it be a win. Lets go Yankees.
*****NEWS FLASH NEWS FLASH***** Jeter drops a popup for an error giving the sux a run. He also has two hits in his first two at bats. Yanks up 3-1 after two.
3-2 Yanks after 4. The sux don't lie down, nor should they.
5-2 Yankees after five.
Still 5-2 after six. Jeter with his third hit.
Andruw Jones with his 4th home run in 2 days extends the Yankee lead to 7-2 in the 7th.
7-2 Yanks after 7.
7-3 after 8 as Robertson who did not look sharp allows a run and was hit reasonably hard.
If Soriano hold the lead in the ninth we will have take 3 of 4 from the sux and will hold a 7 game lead at the All Star break.
Yes I am still up and I will be to work on time in the morning. Another four hour game and Soriano is in to close out the ninth in a non save situation.
It's over, we win. No baseball for a few days.
Theeeeee Yankeeeeeees winnnnnnnnnnn.
Nice lead to have at the mid season break. Plus we got guys coming back in the second half.
Enjoy the break people. I need a rest.
Peace and quiet and a seven game lead. Love it and love ya WIN METHOD.
Everyone get some r & r. Then come back strong.
Everything use beautiful with a sven game lead.
It has been a good first half of the season. Close it out with a bang.
I got to bed early last night without a Yankee game.
Hey stat frauds, Where are you, gutless wonders.
Just to keep everyone on top of things. LETS GO YANKEES
http://www.basketballforum.com/major-league-baseball/
Yankee all stars don't get hurt.
Be ready whan you come back guys. Bear down and win.
Boy is it peaceful around here without baseball action.
Just one more day and back into action.
Last day off, and then having the best record in baseball will make the target on our back that much bigger.
I think we play 13 straight games when we come back including a western swing without a day off.
Win more games than we lose and we should be in good shape.
Kuroda is slated to start tomorrows game against the Angels.
Joba and Gardner may both be back this month.
