WIN METHOD

EXCELLENCE AND DESIRE ARE NOT SKILLS THEY ARE ATTITUDES

WIN METHOD - player evaluation dominance

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.

Another lethargic loss and now tied for the division lead.

NJYANKEE said...

You are right on bigbadwolf and boy do we need some wins.

Pete H said...

Things need to turn around now, before it becomes to late.

ChenCho said...

It's only and anomaly, we really aren't losing games. Just a stat fraud term for laughs.

Ken Shepard said...

Do we have a win streak in us.

Karl R said...

We better have some wins left in us. If we don't we will be on the outside looking in.

johnsondc said...

Now if we can only run a streak of wins right now and take the air out of the O's bubble.

Lloyd Robbins said...

More wins, more wins.

Carl Hooks said...

We earned a much needed win last night. Phelps goes tonight and a win will be great to start the four game series with.

Deb F said...

This a big time series in Baltimore. Whichever team wins 3 of the 4 games is in first place. One edge for the Yankees, is they only need to split the 4 games to stay in first place. SSSWWEEEEEEPPPPPP!!!!!

Erica Johnston said...

Win streak, now. Lets go Yankees.

Vladimir Tinzik said...

Keep it going Jeter, keep leading the way. Three hits last night and great defense. Sweep the O's.

Sharon/NC said...

All I want is a win tonight.

will-i-am said...

Bear down Phelpsy. You can do it, we can do it. Go do it.

NJYANKEE said...

Phelps gives up 4 in the 1st. Will we come back.....YES!!!!

Steve said...

Yanks down 5-1 after 4.

Stan the Man said...

Yankee 8th inning rally ties game 6-6. O's batting in the 8th. Robertson on mound.

Stan the Man. said...

Robertson gives up HR to first batter. Unbelievable.

Anonymous said...

Robertson allows a single and another HR. Yanks dow 9-6 and continue to self implode.

Gus Papa said...

Somtimes this game can be very aggravating.

Alex Antonius said...

It's over. We go down 10-6 and again are tied for first place. Three more games with the O's.

Vinny Ferrero said...

This is sad. I hate losing.

MomanRick said...

Tomorrows another day.

Tony Gigante said...

The season ain't over yet. Keep on trucking. We will win it.

Linda Rice said...

Hughes tonight and we really do need a win.

Patricia Piper said...

The rest of the games mean the season. For better or for worse.

Quay Ho said...

Come on Phil. Give us 6 or 7 shutout innings.

Victor Gandozi said...

Don't cross the threshold of falling behind. Win tonights game.

johnsondc said...

Wins will determine the best.

Phil Jenkins said...

Lets play for keeps. No mo fooling around.

Cory said...

0-0 after 2.

bigbadwolf said...

Two on nobody out, Afaud strikes out looking pathetic. Martin follows with 3 run HR. Yes. Work around the black hole in the lineup.

Steve said...

Yanks up 5-0 after 4.

Cory said...

Now Afraud hits a HR. After Yankees have 5-0 lead.

NJYANKEE said...

Hughes gives up 3 in 6th. Yanks up 7-3 after 6. Hold on guys. You lose this the season is over.

Stan the Man said...

7-4 after 8. Robertson does the job tonight. Soriano in the 9th.

Gus Papa said...

Lets get it done. One more inning for the win.

RLA said...

Jeter with an insurance RBI with 2 outs for a 8-4 lead going into the last atbays for the O's.

Dave Erich said...

Back in first by a game.

Linda Rice said...

We needed this game. Jeter with three hits again.

Eddie OConnor said...

Back in the lead. CC needs to be big time ace tomorrow and slam the door.

Ted Lilly said...

It would be nice if the Rays lose tonight also. Ther are 1-1 in the 11th.

Harry Stavris said...

Nice win.

Chen Cho said...

Lets get another win tonight.

Oliver Moore said...

No let up. come right back with another win and then another.

Bev F said...

It would be great if last nights game was a sign of turning the corner and getting hot.

Kelsie Miller said...

This would be a perfect time to get hot again and string a few wins. Be the man CC.

johnsondc said...

Cold front moving across nation and may have an effect on game tonight.

Al Ashton said...

Hope the storms do not cause us to waste CC's outing with time gaps.

Luke Key said...

Be the man and ace you are supposed to be CC. WIN

Tom Loughlin said...

We just have to win tonight. Lets go Yankees.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

I agree, wouldn't want to lose CC start with a rain delay.

Stan the Man said...

The rain is coming through Baltimore now. The worst should be over by game time.

Pete H. said...

Do it CC. Be the man.

Stan the Man said...

Rain letting up in Baltimore. should get game in once started.

johnsondc said...

Jeter the leader in all of baseball sets the table with another hit and scores the first run of the game on an Afraud sac fly. Yanks up 1-0 after one.

Steve said...

2-2 after 2 as Sabathia blows a 2 run lead allowinf back to back solo home runs. Come on CC.

Karl R said...

Yanks down 3-2 after 5 as Sabathia is being outpitched. Jeter wth 2 hits. If he could only bat a few more times in the lineup.

William Mensom said...

It appears Sabathia is no longer a dominant go to pitcher ant longer. Hw surrenders a 3rd solo home run and is now down 4-2 still pitching in the 6th. Not eve what is considered a quality start.

Vinnie Ferrero said...

Yanks down 5-2 after six. Can we rebound?

Steve said...

8 innings complete, O's up 5-3. Need 2 to tie or it's back into a tie for first place.

Steve said...

Ichiro single, Chavez single, Jeter single, his 3rd hit of game. Bases loaded no one out. Swisher force out grounder, one run in, men at first and third with one out. Teixeira double play ground ot ends game. Yanks lose 5-4 but go down swinging.

johnsondc said...

Replay shows Teixeira easily safe at first and game should have been tied. That's baseball.

AAA said...

A tough one and way to lose.

Lou Lis said...

Tied for first again.

Dan Evans said...

Slow mo replay shows Tex safe. Wow!

YankeeMike said...

CC comes upshort and costs us game. Unacceptable for an "ace".

Tom Loughlin said...

Garcia goes tomorrow, Lord help us.

Tom Loughlin said...

Garcia goes tomorrow, Lord help us.

Linda Rice said...

Team that wins tomorrow will be in first place. No doubt about it.

Sharon/NC said...

We were robbed by a bad call last night. What can you do. Win today, that is all.

Randy Wilson,CO said...

We came back against their best closer and setup guys. Carry that forward along with the bad call. 23 games left, this is WIN METHOD baseball. Only WINS will determine the best.

Warren Hammond said...

Yesterday is history. Take care of business today.

George W said...

Garcia for five and then all hands on deck today.

Felix Lopez said...

The milk has been spilt, now we clean up the mess. Go Yankees.

Maurice Gaudeaux said...

After last nights loss, hope the guys come out with controlled fire and brimstone. And then win.

Teena/Bronx said...

We got to get the job done. Go guys. Do it.

Steve said...

Same old same old. Jeter starts game with another hit. Swisher walks. The black hole Afraud hits into a double play. Cano saves inning with a two out RBI single.

bigbadwolf said...

How abiut this one. Afraud on a foul pop off third base gets out hustled and out played by a lady in the first row who catches the ball as Afraud flails haplessly at it. 1-0 Yanks after twp.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Yankees explode for four fourth inning runs on bloops, chops, and walks for 5-0 lead with O's coming to bat. Come on Freddy, just a couple more innings and let the bullpen do its job.

Steve said...

Garcia immediately implodes and gives up 3 with O's still batting. Joba coming in with one out ane one on.

Deb F said...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Freddy.

Al Ashton said...

Joba looking good and hold Yankee lead at 5-3 after five.

Chen Cho said...

Granderson sixth inning HR and Logan a shutout sixth. Yanks 6-3.

Izy Hernandez said...

Granderson again. Two out 2 RBI single in 7th extends lead to 8-3.

Eddie OConnor said...

Look sho's back. Cory Wade with a 1,2,3 7th. Finish off this puppy and leave twon with a one game lead.

Eddie OConnor said...

Look sho's back. Cory Wade with a 1,2,3 7th. Finish off this puppy and leave twon with a one game lead.

Patricia Piper said...

Jeter with the icing on the cake. Hits smashing 2 run HR to right cenyer for a 10-3 Yankee lead in the 8th.

NJYANKEE said...

Alot of meaningless extra runs late in the game as lead is now 13-3. Hopefully every ones batting eye is back and just not a one game fluke. would be a perfect time to get hot and run off a few wins.

Sharon/NC said...

We needed today. Leave town with a one game lead and 22 more to go.

Lorenzo Hyman said...

Wins is all it will take'

Yankeeforever said...

think how well off we could be if the ump didn't blow the call Saturday night. We move on and win.

Nick Polito said...

A day off and then the race to the wire continues with three games in boston with the sux.

Xavier Lindquist said...

Every game is big. Only wins will determine the best.

Tom Loughlin said...

Keep the bats hot and the runs coming. Earn the wins and the division.

Laura Koehler said...

Rest and recoup for the final run.

AAA said...

Get serious and do not, repeat, do not overlook the bosux.

Cory said...

Lets go Yankees. Seal the deal.

bigbadwolf said...

The players who win the most will be the best and they will lead their team to the playoffs. All others will go home and the stat frauds will cry and cry.

Steve said...

Play WIN METHOD baseball for the next 22 games.

Eddie OConnor said...

Lets roll. Sweep the sux.

William Mensom said...

Tonight we start the final run to the finish. and this is were champions are made.

Linda Pardo said...

Do it guys. We are rooting for you. Carry the day.

Al Ashton said...

Lets go guys, one game at a time one win at a time. Clinch the playoffs.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

Keep it up Jeets. Lead the way as you always do.

Frank Sergi said...

Remember Sunday in Baltimore. That is the way we hit and score.

Carl Hooks said...

Lets go guys. You win you can't be caught. Get a win tonight.

AAA said...

One hour to game time.

Randy Wilson,CO said...

Big game Kuroda. Big game lineup.

Pete H said...

Jeter starts us off scoring on a ground out from Cano as Afraud fails again with men on 2nd and 3rd and does nothing.

Yankeeforever said...

Yankees down 2-1 tp sux after 3. Loads of men LOB.

Stan the Man said...

Still down 2-1 after five.

johnsondc said...

Jeter up. One out men at 2nd and 3rd. Captain clutch Jeter delivers a run double for a 3-2 Yankee lead.

Steve said...

Kuroda surrenders lead on HR. 3-3 after 6.

johnsondc said...

Bases loaded one out for sux. Joba comes in to get the two big outs and shut the door. 3-3 after 7. NOW!

RLA said...

Yanks go down in 9th with Afraud flailing hpoelessly striking out looking like a bush leaguer. Robertson staying in for the 9th.

Steve said...

Yanks lose it in 9th. O's win. Tied for first place again.

bigbadwolf said...

It is not Afrauds fault but he is near useless.

Warren Hammond said...

Jeter can't do it alone. We keep shooting ourselves in the foot.

Billy Tedder said...

We do leave a lot of men on base. We don't win, we don't deserve anything.

Lloyd Robbins said...

Tied for first. 21 more games. Play like last night and you can go home.

Zhaire said...

If Phelps ever wanted to win a big game, tonight is a good place to start.

Victor Bruno said...

David Phelps will start for the YANKEES tonight to try to even the bosux series and retain at least a tie for first place.

Erica Johnston said...

My gosh, even the wild card is in jeopardy, unless we win games.

Lou Lis said...

We need to cut Afraud loose. Pay him his contract if he doesn't play for anyone else and if he plays for someone else, let him and then we don't pay him.

Dan Evans said...

We are running out of excuses.

Jed,NJ said...

WIN of go home.

Vinnie Ferrero said...

No score after one.

johnsondc said...

No score after 3.

Stan the Man said...

Granderson and Cano home runs give Yanks 3-0 lead in the fourth.

Mike Smith said...

Yanks clinging to a 3=1 lead after 6.

Steve said...

Granderson 2 run homer in 7th puts Yanks up 5-1.

AAA said...

Yankee pitching can't throw shut down inning after Yanks score .. Bullpen gives back 2 runs and Yanks lead 5=3 after 7.

Steve said...

O's have won. Bottom of 9th in boston. Soriano in with 5-3 lead. Leadoff home run, 5-4. First out. Second out. Single. Never easy anymore. Third out. Still tied for first.

Fred Slube said...

More games like this I may get an ulcer.

Stan the Man said...

Tied for first, 20 more games.

RLA said...

Wins, just win.

Bob Behan said...

Hughes tomorrow. Just wins. Never ever have been individual stats more meaningless.

Deb F said...

Hope Jeter is OK. If he can, he will play and lead.

KevMac77 said...

Another big game for Phil Hughes. But I guess all games are big from now to the end of the season.

Sam B said...

I hate to be scoreboard watching, but we put ourselves into this position.

Sharon/NC said...

Our destiny is in the hands of the men on the field and how they contribute as a team to win.

Cory said...

Yep, scoreboard watching. Orioles winning 2-1 thru seven innings.

AAA said...

Orioles/Rays into extra innings, 2-2.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

No matter what anyone else does. We make the playoffs only if we win enough games, and that is up to us.

Ernie Haugh said...

Get the job done and earn the win Hughes.

Luke Key said...

Bases loaded nobody out in the 13th for Orioles and they do not score. Now in 14th.

johnsondc said...

O's win in 14th. We need to win tonight to stay tied for first.

Saul Irving said...

Jeter DHing, Nunez at short.

Victor Tinzak said...

Three innings complete. No score.

Stan the Man said...

Yanks lead 1-0 after five. Never easy.

Warren Hammond said...

Jeter with a big seventh inning RBI single gives the Yankees a 2-0 lead after 7 innings with Hughes pitching 7 innings of 4 hit shutout ball.

Stan the Man said...

Hughes, Logan, Robertson each get an out in the 8th. 2-0 Yanks after 8.

Al Ashton said...

Soriano gets the save, Yanks win 2-0.

will-i-am said...

Yankees win, still tied for first with 19 games to go.

bigbadwolf said...

WINS, the only thing that matters and determines the best.

Chuck Knoor said...

Great game from Hughes. Jeter shows the way.

Linda Pardo said...

We need a couple of easy wins. Don't hold your breath.

Victor Gandozi said...

Hughes was really sharp tonight. Good fastball and throwing strikes.

Quay Ho said...

19 more games to determine our destiny. Lets go Yankees.

William Mensom said...

CC goes tonight and he reall does need to be an ace for the rest of the season.

Gus Papa said...

I agree. CC needs to step up and prove he is the ace. Because thr way he has been pitching is not the way of an ace.

Ned Loftus,Daytona Beach said...

My God, WIN METHOD has always been right. Not else matters but wins.

Bob Behan said...

Two wins in a row for the first time in a month. Make it three tonight.

Felix Lopez said...

We need to win every game guys. Pitch and hit in unison. Let go team.

Teena/Bronx said...

OK fans, this is a big one. I will be at tonights game.

Cory said...

LETS GO YANKEES....LETS GO YANKEES

Izzy Hernandez said...

One hour to game time and another win.

Giambino said...

Lets go fishing for some Rays.

Lon Chechov said...

1-0 yanks after 2 on Pearce 2 out RBI single.

Steve said...

CC crashes and burns in the 5th allowing 3 runs and looks bad doing it. The bats need to win this one.

Chen Cho said...

Granderson gets one back with a HR. But Afraud leaves 2 men out as he weakly rolls out to 2nd ending the inning. Yanks down 3-2 after 5.

Karl Cameron said...

Still down 3-2 after 6.

Dan Evans said...

CC can't finish the 7th and gives up another run. CC can't close the deal anymore.

Steve said...

Afraud HR cuts Ray lead to 5-4 after 8. One more chance.

Gus Papa said...

Nunez error givs run to Rays. Jeter should never no be playing shortstop. Even on one leg Jeter is the best defensive shortstop in baseball.

Bob Behan said...

Yanks and CC lose 6-4. Now have to hope the O's lose.

Carl Hooks said...

CC has really let this team down, over and over.

Quay Ho said...

Nova tomorrow. Do we really need to win.
