WIN METHOD

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.

Just wins, no matter how, just wins.

Should be great game today. Afraud is benched. It's about time.

Anonymous said...

YankeeMike said...

On to Toronto for four. Lets keep winning until we clinch.

Warren Hammond said...

Don't get complacent guys. no one is giving us anything. take the division with our own wins.

Deb F said...

It's been a long time, almost four weeks since we were two games in front.

Steve said...

Good game for the Yankees and CC this afternoon, and even a better one from Afraud sitting on the bench.

Billy Fedder said...

Good outing from CC. He gets one more start.

sid greenberg,nyc said...

O's winning big tonight, but will still be down two games in the loss column that they can't make up uless we lose.

Eddie OConnor said...

Four in Toronto starting tonight. We have our destiny in our hands with wins.

johnsondc said...

Nova is on tap for tonight in Toronto followed by Kuroda, Pettitte, and Hughes.

Gus Papa said...

Ivan has to pitch great tonight to regain some status in the rotation.

Jerry Curcto said...

Just a few more wins. Get another tonight. Lets go Yankees.

Vladimir Tinzik said...

Keep it going guys with a win tonight. No let up.

Bert Jackson said...

Put it all together tonight Ivan.

Mike Smith said...

Keep scoring guys. Throw srikes Ivan.

Teena/Bronx said...

Just a few more wins guys. We are doing it on our own because the competition isn't letting up. Lets go Yankees.

Yankeeforever said...

Wins carry the season. Not any other stat matters one iota.

will-i-am said...

Jump in front early and take the game.

RLA said...

game time

Stan the amn said...

Nova gives up 2 run HR in 3rd. Yanks down 2-0 after 3.

Cory said...

Nova with another crapper. Yanks down 4-0 after five and Nova out of game.

bigbadwolf said...

Yanks down 6-0 in 8th. Now just up by one game with six left to play. Down to the wire.

Deb F said...

At least we lost easily. Can't win if you don't score and we go down 6-0. One game lead, six games to play.

Alex Antonius said...

Wins, we need wins or we go home.

Eugene Rico said...

Down to six games and all we have to do is win more than the chasers. Do it.

evan donohue said...

We win we can't be caught. It is up to the guys on the field.

Linda Pardo said...

One game today. That is all we need to think about. Win today.

Patricia Piper said...

Long hard injury riddled season. We are on the cusp of reaching the playoffs despite all the obstacles. Get the job finished guys.

Anonymous said...

Kuroda has bee off the last couple of starts. Would be nice for him to come up with a gem tonight.

Victor Bruno said...

Don't fail me now guys. Get the job done Hiroki. Score guys.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

Lets go Yankees. Get the win and take another game off the schedule.

johnsondc said...

Anyone notice Afraud was back last night and we got shutout as he did nothing. To be fair you can;t lay the blame all on him.

Lets go guys, get the win tonight. and Afraud feel free to contribute one of these games.

Steve said...

Kuroda not sharp, but Yanks lead 3-0 after 2.

Steve said...

Kuroda still struggling, but finishes the fifth with a 3-1 lead. We need some more runs and are keeping the Jays alive.

Lou Lis said...

3-1 after 5.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Russell Martin three run dinger gives Yanks 6-1 lead in the sixth.

Yankeeforever said...

7-2 Yanks after 6. O's winning in a rout. Will have a one game lead with five left to play. Wow!

Stan the Man said...

Yanks up 8-4 after 7.

Tom Loughlin said...

Yankees win 11-4.

Brad D said...

Yanks win 11-4. Still one game in front of Orioles with five left to play.

Erica Johnston said...

Five more games. We haven't won it yet.

Warren Hammond said...

What a finish to the season. The second wild card has sure given life to several more teams. Lets go Yankees, finish it off with wins.

MomanRick said...

Can Andy keep the shutout innings coming? Keep scoring guys. Lets go Yankees.

jimbo said...

Isn't it amazing how after playing just a few games short or the 162 game season, no individual stat matters a twit. It all comes down to wins in determining the best and who moves on to the second season and who goes home.

Giambino said...

Keep the zeroes coming Andy. Lets go Yankees, win another one.

RLA said...

2-1 Yanks after 3. Should be at least 5 to 8-1. Pathetic hitting in WHEN it counts situations. Andruw Jones has already left 5 men on base in two strikeout at bats where he is looking like Afraud.

bigbadwolf said...

2-2 after 5 and it should be 10-2. come on guys wake up.

sid greenberg,nyc said...

Yanks down 3-2 after 7 and the way the lineup has performed is embarrassing.

Giambino said...

Last shot. Down 3-2 batting in 9th.

William Mensom said...

Andy Pettitte and the YANKEES lose this afternoons game with Toronto 3-2. The YANKEES now have to await the outcome of the Oriole game tonight to see if they remain in first place with an Oriole loss or are tied for first with an Oriole win. The lineup was grossly pathetic WHEN it mattered most.

Victor Gandozi said...

One heck of a miserable loss today. If people can't understand the WIN METHOD, just look at todays game and see what a difference the game could have been with a hit or two WHEN it would have mattered most.

Ann Gallagher/PA said...

An ugly ugly loss. Now have to watch scoreboard and hope the O's lose.

Domenic said...

Gross!

will-i-am said...

I get sick to my stomach seeing Andruw Jones and Afraud wearing Yankee uniforms.

Jonas Slaught said...

I was looking forward to a pleasant evening. Not anymore after watching this afternoons game.

Gus Papa said...

Look at the box score. How about leavinf 24 men on base. Suckfull.

Roger D said...

Scoreboard watching is not good. We need to get rid of the dead wood, but we have to keep the deadest piece.

Eddie OConnor said...

Today was one sad sorrowful loss.

Stan the Man said...

Orioles up 4-3 in the 7th.

will-i-am said...

The Orioles win. We are tied for first with four games to go.

William Mensom said...

To relieve some tension for some people. The Yankees have already made the playoffs, albeit maybe only as the wild card. this is because of who the runner ups are playing and the fact that when runner ups play each other someone has to lose and that fact guarantees the Yankees a playoff spot.

Now to go out and win this afternoons game.

Linda Pardo said...

Thank you William, I didn't realize, felt we were in good shape, but did not know for sure.

Zhaire said...

Phil Hughes for the Yankees this afternoon. I hope Girardi lights a fire under some of these guys. Preferably burn and bury Jones and Afraud.

YankeeMike said...

Thanks William. I knew we were in, but I still want to win the division.

Stan the Man said...

It's nice we have made the playoffs, but I still want to win the division. Lets go guys, get your act together and bring it all home.

Greg Petroski said...

Wake up lineup, the pitchers can't do it by themselves. Get Afraud the heck out of the lineup.

Teena/Bronx said...

If there is a time to put the WIN METHOD altogether it would be now through the next three plus weeks. Get it together guys.

johnsondc said...

Yanks down 2-1 after 3. Still not producing when it counts.

jimbo said...

Now down 4-1 after 5. Afraud still in the middle of the order and useless.

Tom Loughlin said...

Yanks traling 5-2 after 6.

Gus Papa said...

Led by key doubles from Jeter and Cano Yanks tie game 5-5 with Jays coming to bat in the seventh.

YankeeMike said...

5-5 after 7. Come on guys, come all the way back and win this one.

Mark D said...

Jeter with his third hit of the game puts Yankees in front 7-5 in 8th. inning.

Patricia Piper said...

Jeter is the greatest.

bigbadwolf said...

Robertson throws a scoreless eighth. 7-5 Yanks after eight. This good be the biggest game of the year for the team and could pave the way.

Saul Irving said...

Yanks up 7-5 after 8. Lets go Yankees.

RLA said...

Flood gates open for Yanks, have scored twice in 9th for 9-5 lead and still batting.

Cory said...

With this win we will still be tied with th O's who have won and will have three games left to play.

johnsondc said...

NO, Soriano loads the bases with no body out.

johnsondc said...

Thank God for Jeter. Great defensive play turn the double play and the Yankees win 9-6.

Victor Gandozi said...

We win it coming from 5-1 down for 9-6 win.

Sharon/NC said...

Tied for first with 3 games to play. Sweep the sux guys.

Chen Cho said...

The way we won was big.

Tomas Velez said...

Isn't this the time of year when all the teams can look back at games they may have given away and say what if?

evan donohue said...

Good win today. It looks like this season is going down to the last game.

Fred Slube said...

Lets finish the job and win the division.

Saul Irving said...

With the playoffs a lock, we now play for the division crown or the wild card.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

If we sweep the bosux, I think the Rays should be able to beat the O's once. that will give us the division.

Ted Lilly said...

The wild card has a playin game, while the division winner does not.

Alex Antonius said...

We Have CC going tonight, he just needs to keep throwing the way he has the last couple of starts and build for the playoffs.

RLA said...

Keep the pressure on the O's, keep winning. Make them the wild card.

Chen Cho said...

Come on CC. Take charge. Runs guys, hit when it counts.

Eddie OConnor said...

Lets go Yankees. Sweep the last place sux.

Harry Stavris said...

Get it done, take the division and go from there.

Steve said...

Nine run 2nd for Yanks and a 9-0 lead after 2. Yes, a rare laugher.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Yanks in a 10-2 romp and the O;s lose. First place by a game with two to play.

jimbo said...

What a fine day. Score early and big. Then coast and win.

Vinny Ferrero said...

Good win, but need to win again tonight. It has truly been a great pennant battle between the O's and Yanks for over a month.

Phil Pepe said...

Phelps pitches tonight to keep us in front. Keep scoring early and win.

Curt Sovingy said...

Phelps is taking Novas spot. Now if Girardi would only put anybody in Afrauds spot, or at least bat him in the bottom third of the lineup.

George W said...

Throw a good one Phelps. Earn the win.

Teena/Bronx said...

Rain may play a part in the Bronx tonight. It will be close.

Cory said...

Be the man Phelps. Wins determine the best, nothing else matters.

Teena/Bronx said...

Steady rain right now in NY.

Ted Lilly said...

Hope we get the game in and a win.

Sharon/NC said...

Guys you have total control.. win two more games and win the division.

Steve said...

Yanks down 2-1 after 4. Down hitting when it counts so far.

Victor Tinzik said...

Still down 2-1 after seven. Come on guys, don't blow this.

NJYANKEE said...

One more inning. Down 2-1 after 8. Hits, sux 4, Yanks 11. But nary a hit for Yanks WHEN it would have mattered most.

Steve said...

SORIANO IN FOR THE 9TH AND GIVES UP A hr TO THE FIRST BATTER.

Steve said...

Granderson single, Ibanez home run ties game 3-3.

Steve said...

Jeter double, just need a single for a win.

johnsondc said...

Intentional walk to Swisher to face Afraud with men on 1st and 2nd and one out. Come on Afraud, one time, be a hero.

Steve said...

Afraud walks thank God.

AAA said...

O's have won, we need this game to hold first place.

Steve said...

Tex pops out. Cano up.

Steve said...

Agree, Ibanez has been a boon for the Yankees as has Chavez. Now to win it all tonight.

Bob Behan said...

Lets go Yanks, finish off the sux and win it all. Have a great one Hiroki.

Erica Jonston said...

Lets go Yankees. What a ride this season has been.

will-i-am said...

Just about game time guys. Play hard and win it like the best you are.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Grandyman can gives Yanks 3-1 lead after 2 with a three run dinger.

Allie Singh said...

3-1 Yanks after 2. O's down 1-0 after 2.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

Cano 2 run HR in 3rd gives yanks 5-1 lead.

Cory said...

Cano 2nd 2 run HR of game puts Yanks in front 7-1 in the 5th. The AL East is ours.

Stan the Man said...

Yanks pounding sux, the O's have lost, the Yanks are AL east champs.

Dan Evans said...

14-2 final. Yanks now await winner of Ranger / Oriole one game playoff.

When challenged we responded. The next step is ahead.

William Mensom said...

After each leagues wild card ply in game, it will be the the team that wins eleven games who will be World Series Champion.

Vanessa Cates said...

Pitch well and hit well. Lets hope Afraud doesn't have another total failure. Just don't kill rally after rally.

Gus Papa said...

Congratulations WIN METHOD fans, you are the best and most knowledgeable fans in the baseball world.

Linda Pardo said...

Rest and get ready for palyoff baseball guys.

Yankeeforever said...

Good luck Ranger and Oriole fans. The better team will win.

Mike Smith said...

Get rested and return sharp guys. May you play WIN METHOD baseball.

RLA said...

Lets go Yankees.

Sharon/NC said...

Texas Baltimore game tonight. The winner gets us in their home for first two games of best of five series.

YankeeMike said...

In my opinion, I would rather play the Orioles. the reason being we have faced them many more times than the Rangers and we have faced them recently and we are more familiar with their pitchers and how they are trying to get us out. Just using WIN METHOD logic.

Giambino said...

We will play and defeat whomever we get to play.

Vladimir Tinzik said...

We will overcome and be the champions.

Alex Antonius said...

Come with your head in the game guys, play one game at a time. good pitching and hits WHEN, repeat WHEN they count will carry the day and the series.

Bert Jackson said...

I think you nailed it YankeeMike.

Deb F said...

I am very proud of what this team has overcome to get this far so far this year.

Chen Cho said...

Then there is always the thought Texas has been playing some losing baseball lately.

RLA said...

O's / Rangers 1-1 in 3rd.

Vinny Ferrero said...

1-1 Rangers/Os after 5. A nice 20 inning game would be nice.

Stan the Man said...

3-1 O's after 8 in Texas.

Bob Behan said...

The O's won and we get them for the best of five series. Lets go Yankees.

sid greenberg,nyc said...

The Orioles will not be easy.

Patricia Piper said...

Don't want to come across as gloom and doom, but the O's have a magical season going.

Quay Ho said...

I would love for Jeter and the team to win another World series. Jeter exemplifies all that is good with baseball.

johnsondc said...

No one should be easy at this point in the season Sid. CC needs to come with his A game and win game one.

Gene A said...

Come on guys, take it to them early and dominate.

Erica Johnston said...

Lets get ready for a fumble in Baltimore. Bring the big sticks Yanks.

Allie Singh said...

Tonight our second season starts. Good luck guys.

Dave M said...

Second season is under way. Get it done Yanks.

William Mensom said...

In watching the post season games, I don't ever recall seeing so many teams so evenly maatched.

bigbadwolf said...

Today has to be setting a record for run scoring passed balls and wild pitches fo the poast seasom.

Sharon/NC said...

Baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and the New York Yankees. This must be the post season. Go Yankees.

Eugene Rico said...

Is everybody ready for some baseball?

Lets do it Yankees.

Gus Papa said...

I'm here and so will many others. At least it's not a 9PM game going into the wee hours of the morning.

Ted Lilly said...

Yanks score first. Jeter of course. You got your run CC, now shut them out.

Yanks 1-0 after two.
