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.

Not good tonight. No way we should lose like we are.

bigbadwolf said...

Good news, the Baltimore Orioles lost last night so the YANKEES and the Orioles are still tied for first place with 18 games to play. Scoreboard watching is never a good thing.

Lee Askew said...

18 games to go. Can we make it?

Alex Antonius said...

Nova make his return to the rotation this afternoon after a stint on the disabled list. hope he comes back sharp and strong.

Mile Smith said...

Time to win or get out of town. Jeter is leading, but few are following.

Karl R said...

Just take control of your own faith guys. Win and you will make the playoffs.

Felix Lopez said...

Hate to say it but the Yankees are playing sloppy inconsistent baseball. Yet they are still in the thick of the playoff run. has to say something about the WIN METHOD.

Holding a 4-1 lead after six as Nova allows HR to Longoria. Nova six innings one run. Excellent.

johnsondc said...

Soriano in to close it out for the win. One out on a popup. Single, man on, one out. Fly ou to center, two out, one on. Walk, two on, two out. Soriano gave up the walk to a hitter that is 0-17. Strike out theeeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeees winnnnnnnnnnn.

will-i-am said...

Yankees win 5-3. Hold first and rooting for the O's to lose.

Deb F said...

Mark D said...

The Orioles lost and the Yankees are one game in front with 17 games left in the season.

William Mensom said...

Oh how truly simple it is. It all comes down to wins. Again, we control our destiny. We have to lose for someone else to win the division.

NJYANKEE said...

Move forward with wins. The division is ours for the taking, only with wins.

Chen Cho said...

Keep the good pitching and the wins coming Kuroda.

Deb F said...

Let do it guys. Shut them down Kuroda. Jeter is the MVP.

Linda Pardo said...

Lets go guys. Another win.

Cory said...

One hour to Kuroda/Yankee win time.

bigbadwolf said...

Congratulations to Derek Jeter, for moving into tenth place of MLB players with hits over their career.
Simply the best there is over the past two decades.

Stan the Man said...

The Captain, the leader, the greatest, ignites a Yankee third inning rally with an RBI single and great base running and the Yankees take a 5-0 lead after three.

Steve said...

Yanks up 5-0 after 3.

Giambino said...

Kuroda gives one back in the 4th, but Yan ks come right back with one. 6-1 after four.

Saul L said...

One game in front, sixteen games to go, off day today, Pettitte tomorrow.

Vinnie Ferrero said...

The pressure is still on and the games are big. Rather be in front by one than behind by one. It only counts at the finish.

Teena/Bronx said...

Rain in forecast for a few days. May have to play a double header on of the days.

Lou Lis said...

Enjoy the day because it aain't over yet.

RLA said...

Wins tat is all that counts. Whine stat frauds.

Teena/Bronx said...

Maurice Gaudeaux said...

You gotta do what you have to do. Can't control the weather. Just have to win when we play.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

He have player through every obstacle throw in front of us this year. We WILL win.

NJYANKEE said...

It's pouring up this way. Hope they cancel the game.

Stan the Man said...

Rained out. Day night double header tomorrow.

Roy Weich said...

Pettitte in day game and Phelps in night game tomorrow.

YankeeMike said...

Baltimore won again last night in 18 innings. We need to keep pace.

Teena/Bronx said...

It looks like both games will get played today as of now.

Quay Ho said...

The two days off hopefully relieved some aching bodies and the bats and arms return strong. We need wins.

Chen Cho said...

One game at a time, one win at a time. Wins are always the answer and always defines the best.

Cory said...

Give us a great one Andy. Lets go Yankees, get the win.

Harry Stavris said...

Yanks up 3-0 after five. Andy is back.

Laura Koehler said...


firdst game in the books as a win. Yanks win 4-2. Pettitte gets the win.

will-i-am said...

Theeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

Mike Smith said...

Now to take the nightcap for the sweep of the DH.

Bev F said...

Let go guys. Take the nightcap also.

Carl Hooks said...

Game time. Lets go Yankees.

johnsondc said...

Jeter leads off with single, Swisher walks, Cano flyout to deep right, jeter to third. Afraud clears bases with double play grounder and end the inning.

Steve said...

1-1 after 2.

Stan the Man said...

1-1 after 4.

Zhaire said...

Afraud three at bats tonight. Looks like utter garbage.

NJYANKEE said...

1-1 after 7. Afraud 3 Ks and a DP.

Steve said...

Ichiro second RBI of game gives Yanks 2-1 lead after 8. Soriano coming in for a chance of a scond save for the day.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Soriano 1,2 3 ninth for save and Yankee win. 1 game in front, 14 to go.

Lou Lis said...

Two wins today all with pitching.

Patricia Piper said...

Phelps with seven innings of one run ball. Great game from David.

Victor Gandozi said...

The glory of wins, and the ignorance of individual stats stand out mor than ever in the last month of a season in a pennant race.

Eddie OConnor said...

Two nice wins of the WIN METHOD type.

Vinny Ferrero said...

Pettitte and Phelps were as good as it gets today. Bats sloppy and Afraud was horrendous in second game and made a fool of himself on a foul popup in the ninth. Booed by the fans repeatedly.

Nate Berkus said...

Yes, two good wins yesterday, but the O's have swept the Mariners and are not losing. We must win tonight to stay a game in front. Wins is the only stat that measures greatness and separates the men from the boys.

Mark D said...

It's all about wins. The O's and Yanks are fighting it out to the end.

Vladimir Tinzik said...

Hughes tonight for the Yankees. Lets get some runs guys.

Anonymous said...

Get the job done Phil,just like you last outing.

Allie Singh said...

Keep it going Yankees. One win at a time. Lets go Yankees.

Domenic said...

Having the recent great pitching is fine, but I would like to see some better consistent hitting. Having Afraud in the middle of the lineup sure doesn't help.

Linda Rice said...

Give us another win Phil. Be the man again.

Benny Pake said...

Win it guys. Hold onto to the top dog spot. Do it Phil.

johnsondc said...

8-2 Yanks after four

Lou Lis said...

Yankees up 10-7 coming to bat in the 8th.

AAA said...

10-7 final, Yankee win.

johnsondc said...

Robertson gets the save tonight. 10-7 final.

Cory said...

Still a game in front after winning tonight. The bats made the difference tonight, except for Afrauds.

Giambino said...

Good win. Pitching gives up runs and not sharp, the bats come alive and cover. That is how winners win.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

Just got to keep winning. So far so good, but the Orioles are not letting up.

Deb F said...

We have been playing some solid baseball the past ten games. Just at the right time to straighten the ship.

Mike Smith said...

CC tonight. CC really needs to step up and pitch a great game. win the first game of this series and all will be fine.

Lee Askew said...

Win tonight CC. You should be the leader of the staff.

Steve said...

Has everyone noticed the stat frauds don't come here anymore. they are losers in lifes lottery of intelligence.

Warren Hammond said...

Yep Steve. With everyone who knows baseball concentrating on wins to reach the playoffs, the stat frauds are left in the dust of common sense and reality.

sid greenberg,nyc said...

Just six great wins in a row to end the season CC. that is all I am asking from you.

neil golub said...

Great job guys playing and winning one game at a time. Do it again tonight CC.

Sharon/NC said...

Great job by the captain and his aged buddy Ichiro. Keep it up guys.

Luke Key said...

Take tonight game. That is the only game we are playing today.

YankeeMike said...

Come on CC. Don't keep letting us down.

Carl Hooks said...

Play more WIN METHOD baseball and the wins will keep coming.

Alex Antonius said...

Lets go Yankees, lets go CC.

Yankeeforever said...

One game at a time. Opener, series, sweep. Lets do it.

Steve said...

0-0 after 2.

Victor Bruno said...

1-0 Yanks after 4.

Stan the Man said...

1-0 Yanks after 6.

Steve said...

CC pitches 8 shutout innings and Yanks cling to a slim 1-0 lead. Bullpen for the 9th.

Teena/Bronx said...

Yanks up 1-0 after 8. Hold on guys.

johnsondc said...

Soriano in for the ninth.

Steve said...

Soriano blow the save.

Tom Loughlin said...

Soriano two wals, two on two out. 1-1.

Victor Gandozi said...

Three out. We have 2,3,4 coming up. Win it now. CC oitched his heart out, can't get the win he should have had, but we can still win the game.

Victor Tinzik said...

Extra innings. Bull hockey.

Al Ashton said...

YES YES YES 2-1 win.

Steve said...

Martin leads off the 10th with a game winning HR. 2-1.

Stan the Man said...

Robertson throws a 1,2,3 10th and then Russell Martin homers to lead off the 10th for the Yankee win.

RLA said...

We needed that. Still in first.

bigbadwolf said...

Sorianos failure gets a reprieve this time.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

That was the kind of game I would have hated to lose.

Gus Papa said...

It is amazing how when things go right the wins flow. It is our adage here which the greatest statement ever created. When things are going great you are never that good and when things are going wrong you are never that bad.

Randy Wilson,CO said...

One in front with twelve to go, WOW.

Warren Hammond said...

What a finish to the season.

Anonymous said...

Now if Nova can back up CC tomorrow afternoon.

Ann Gallagher/PA said...

It wasn't easy and it was a nail biter. But it was another win. Need to do it again today. Lets do it Nova.

johnsondc said...

You got that right Gus. Everyone looks good when winning. The same players look terrible when losing. Try that on a stat fraud fool.

Linda Rice said...

Just like last game Ivan. Give them nothing.

Patricia Piper said...

Keep it up guys. You can't make the pitchers throw shutouts guys. Score some more runs and get a few easy wins. Lets go Yankees.

Zhaire said...

5-5 after 8 1/2. Time for another win.

bigbadwolf said...

Extra innings. Garcia in.

RLA said...

5-5 after 10.

Steve said...

Garcia crashes and burns in the 13th. 9-5 A's with Yanks last at bats coming up.

YankeeMike said...

Believe it or not, Yanks answer with 4 runs to tie game 9-9 and go to the 14th inning.

AAA said...

Now , win it now. Yanks up in the 14th.

Steve said...

Yanks win it 10-9.

johnsondc said...

game over Yanks win on error after loading the bases and a base running blunder.

Cory said...

First is still ours with 11 left to play.

Stan the Man said...

What a game! all I can say is wow.

Sharon/NC said...

What a fantastic win. When things go your way, you smell like a rose.

Victor Gandozi said...

Yesterday is done. Today is a new game. Kuroda pitches, Kuroda wins, the Yankees win.

NJYANKEE said...

Come oh Kuroda, come on Yankees, win again today.

Mark Wogaman said...

Do it again Yankees. Big game Hiroki.

Domenic said...

Get the sweep. Wins is what matters.

Gene A said...

Kuroda has bad game abd Yankees lose 5-4 with Afraud nin the middle of the lineup creating the vast black hole and going 0-5.

Nick Polito said...

If Afraud wasn't owed so much $$$, he would be chucked from the team.

Linda Rice said...

You can't win them all. Tough lose anyway. And idiots still think Nunez should be at short insted of Jeter.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

For 3 1/2 weeks the Yankees and Orioles have been separated by no more than one game.

MomanRick said...

As Jeter leads and excels Afraud crashes and burns.

William Mensom said...

Fact, Jeter is and always has been better tha Afraud. Fact, Afraud has cheated the game, Jeter hasn't. Fact, Jeter has been the bigger winner, Afraud hasn't. Fact, Afraud has cheated his family, Jeter hasn't. Fact, Jeter has character, Afraud doesn't. That says it all.

johnsondc said...

Unbelievable season, all the injuries, some very big. The ups and downs, the highs the lows. The complete uselessness of Arod, offensively and defensively. And down to the wire we come.

Sharon/NC said...

I second your entire post johnsondc.

Gus Papa said...

Ten more games. Pettitte on the mound tonight. Do it again Andy. No let downs guys, you are still playing for the division win.

Teena/Bronx said...

Claim you playoff spot with another great game Andy.

Linda Rice said...

Lets go guys. Wins will carry the season.

Felix Lopez said...

Lets go Yankees.

sid greenberg,nyc said...

We are rooting for you Andy. You define WIN METHOD.

Andrew J said...

Keep winning. Go Yankees.

johnny said...

Andy is dandy.

Quay Ho said...

Just wins. Pitch and hit for the win.

Benny Pake said...

Get it done guys. Keep winning.

Andy K said...

Game time one hour and a win.

Norm Hegel said...

O's won, we need to keep pace.

Steve said...

Yanks up 3-0 after one working Afrauds weak popup with men on 2nd and 3rd with no outs. Afraud stinks.

NJYANKEE said...

Holding at 3-0 after 3. Lets get a few more runs.

Stan the Man said...

Yanks up 4-0 after 5 on Grandyman HR.

Cory said...

Pettitte with six shutout innings. 4-0 Yanks.

Steve said...

Ibanez and Chavez home runs make it 6-0 after 6 1/2. Joba on for the 7th.

Eddie OConnor said...

Orioles are losing their second game tonight 9-4 in the 7th, If Yaanks win we will hold a 1 1/2 game lead and have a 2 game advantage in the loss column.

Deb F said...

Final, yanks win 6-3 and Orioles split. Yanks in front by 1 1/2.

Tomas Velez said...

Nice pleasant win tonight.

Paul Jekovic said...

Wow a game and a half lead. Now not to fritter it away. Go Yankees.

Xman James said...

Hughes set for tonight. hope he is better than last outing. We need the win.

Lloyd Bingham said...

Great effort from Andy last night. Always seemed to make the right pitch in crucial moments.

Victor Bruno said...

Come on Phil, we need to keep winning. Win the division and go from there guys.

AAA said...

Great job guys. Keep the wins coming.

will-i-am said...

Lets keep rolling. Do it Hughesy.

Carl Hooks said...

2 game advantage in the loss column is better than 1. Just keep winning and all will be fine.

Tom Loughlin said...

Take it to them guys. score early and often.

Luke Key said...

Lets go guys. Do it Phil.

Steve said...

No score with the Twins batting in the third. The black hole fraud strikes out twice, once into a doubleplay. Useless, chuck him already.

johnsondc said...

Swisher 2 run HR gives Yanks 2-0 lead in 4th. No one out yet.

Dan Evans said...

Yanks have slim 2-1 lead after 5. Hughes has looked very good so far.

sid greenberg,nyc said...

Martin leads off the 6th with HR gibing Yanks 3-1 lead. The Orioles have lost and a win for us tonight would be really big.

Sean Smith said...

Twins score four in the 7th to take 5-3 lead on poor relief pitching by Boone Logan. Do we have another come back in us.

Victor Gandozi said...

Andruw Jones homers in ninth but Yanks fall one run short losing 5-4 and blowing a golden opportunity to open the lead on the Orioles who lost earlier.

Greg Petroski said...

Yanks lose 5-4 still 1 1/2 games in front. 2 in the loss column with 8 games to play.

Deb F said...

A bad loss tonight, but you can't win them all. Win tomorrow and bounce back.

Robert Mandell said...

Sabathia goes for the Yanks tomorrow and another win would be great.

Domenic said...

Yeah tough loss. Rebound tomorrow.

bigbadwolf said...

In reading many of the comments on the baseball forums one gets to see just how stupid the posters over on the forums are. they whine and cry and crucify manager Girardi for putting Boone Logan in the game in the seventh inning. They only whine and cry because the player did not do the job the manager put him in to do. Another brilliant WIN METHOD tenet is the players on the field determine how the manager is perceived. If the player fails, the manager is stupid, if the player succeeds the manager is great. In the final analysis, any move a manager makes is always determined to be good or bad by what the players do on the field. Good or bad.

Helmut F said...

CC need to win again today and pitch well doing it. Please take Afraud out of the lineup and send him packing.

Laura Koehler said...

We are counting on you CC. Be the best.

Cory said...

Get us the win CC.
