It has been a long time WIN METHOD fans since my last post. It was a tough ending to the 2012 season. None the less a pretty successful season. The YANKEES had the best record in the American league. Made the playoffs, advanced through the first round and then kaboom, the season was over when Derek Jeter went down with a broken ankle in the ALCS against the Detroit Tigers. I have been overwhelmingly busy for the past months. Attended every game since August. An extraordinary amount of interviews since the YANKEE season ended. There is rumor of several deals, acquisitions, and players being let go. In reality, the YANKEES are the best team in the American League East right now, and with a little tinkering and the right moves could be even better in 2013. As many of you WIN METHOD fans know and have suggested, the elimination of Alex Rodriguez from the roster would go a long way in making the 2013 YANKEES stronger. However, that may not be as easy as we would like. We can only hope, and as always we we play the hand we are dealt. With CC Sabathia and Derek Jeter having recent surgery, lets hope both are ready to start the season. The YANKEE pitching is strong front and back. The bats are still there, while that may change to some degree, the lineup should be strong. If Rodriguez remains a YANKEE, we can only hope he will be dropped significantly in the lineup, and at best gone completely. Nick Swisher and Rafael Soriano are likely to both be gone, but losing neither will hurt the team. One of the YANKEES elite minor league-rs will make an impact in 2013 and help the team. The YANKEE organization is looking at several acquisitions, but it takes two to make a deal, and some deals are better off not made if too much mast be given away. Some of the rumored players the YANKEES are supposedly looking at have no chance of being YANKEES because they are not WIN METHOD. So don't worry fans, there will not be any more Afraud mistakes.
Last month I also was lucky enough to celebrate my 70th birthday with my wife, two sons, two daughters, two daughter-in-laws, and three grand children. The celebration was done in a YANKEE baseball theme and motif and was an exceptional surprise. I am a very lucky man. Above is a picture of the apropos cake. WIN METHOD marches on.
I will try to keep you all abreast of any doings over the coming winter and I will again be attending the winter meetings. There is only so much I can tell you without jeopardizing possible maneuvers by the powers that be. The Steinbrenner sons have appeared to see the WIN METHOD light and things may get better for the YANKEES in 2013. After all decisions have been made, it is still the guys on the field who make things happen, and if those guys play WIN METHOD baseball, and play for the team to win, all will go well in 2013. Maybe we got all the injuries out of our system in 2012.
Thank you all for the support, comments, and posts. You WIN METHOD fans are the most knowledgeable fans in baseball and know that individual stats do not determine the best. Only WINS and winning can do that.

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 1390 Newer› Newest»So many new posters from all around the world. Greetings to all.
Just minor aches and pains so far this spring.
Phelps to start first game of spring Saturday with Warren to start Sundays game.
I was reading a forum where several fans were talking baseball and stats. Several used stats consistently but admitted they were flawed to some degree. A fan or two stated they thought the man made stats were pretty much useless and did not measure people fairly and that many were arbitrary. They all concluded there was no way to judge to come to the perfect conclusion, but stats were the best they had. None of them even mentioned WINS. WINS are perfect and ALWAYS determine who is the best. WINS and the WIN METHOD are infallible.
Very excited for this season to start. Big expectations on my part.
Another good day in Tampa.
First big casulty of spring. Hughes set down two weeks with bulging disk in upper back.
With all the starters we have, no time to come up hurting. What in heck were you doing in the off season to only find out about the disk at the start of spring training.
The main reason the stat frauds are afraid to debate here is that no one here is stupid enough to believe their BS.
My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find the
majority of your post's to be precisely what I'm looking
for. Does one offer guest writers to write content in your case?
I wouldn't mind publishing a post or elaborating on many of the subjects you write with regards to here. Again, awesome web log!
Look into my site; mp4 movies
I wonder if it is just bad luck for some players and they are injury prone or is it that some guys just don't take the time to take care of themselves.
Hughes is either unlucky or stupid.
Sometimes things happen for unknown reasons. You just have to make the best of what ever hand you are dealt.
Hughes just puts himself at the back of the rotation line.
It is going to be a good year. We will deal with any and all set backs.
First action tomorrow with Phelps starting.
I miss ragging on the stat fraud deceivers.
Go Yankees.
First real game action. The score doesn't count fans.
NO INJURIES.
Bloom and grow time guys.
Phelps with two scoreless innings and Zoilo Almonte with a two run HR to get the season rolling. 4-1 Yankees after four.
Yanks win spring opener 8-3. Means nothing, just bloom and grow guys.
Granderson HBP in 1st inning. Broken forearm, out 10 weeks. Not good. It may open the door for a rookie.
Granderson out hurts.
There goes the season without any major injuries.
Some times an injury is a big opportunity for another. Almonte?
Looks like a challenging season ahead.
Pitching has been fine over the two games.
Think positive Yankee fans, Jeter will work his magic.
Lets go Yankees.
Girardi will have to do his job and manage.
Girardi did say that Granderson will be replaced from within the organization.
Joba will get an inning or two today.
If anyone is interested. Yankee game today is on MLBTV at 1PM
Yankees have 83 players in camp. A lot of young stars are on the horizon.
Robertson and Joba each with a solid inning today.
Our main line pitchers have been solid so far.
Losses are fun in spring training when the games don't count.
Many of our youngsters look pretty good. Pitching for most part has been excellent.
We need Jetes back to lead the way.
The purpose of spring training is for the TEAM to be ready to win on day one of the regular season.
Joba had one heck of a breaking ball yesterday.
Jeter is well ahead of schedule, he WILL start season at short.
It's still going to be another playoff season. We will overcome again.
Oh how sweet are those spring training losses!
Will be fun as training progresses who earns the left field spot to start the season.
Think positive and think WIN METHOD.
The Yankees seem to always rise to the top one way or another.
March 1st tomorrow, one month until it counts and WINS will again determine the best players and teams in the real world.
Don't worry about what is happening in spring training now. Pay more attention the last two weeks just before the season stats. Even then, wins and losses don't mean anything. You will see a difference in the players development and mentality.
Just an update. Remember, all defensive metric stats are totally and completely invalid and fraudulent.
Agreed WIN METHOD. They are convoluted, contrived, man created formulas that have no basis in reality. The variables within the formulas are infinite and make any valuations derived from, useless.
Zone defensive stats are only for idiots.
Come on stat frauds. Defend yourselves. LOL
Phelps with 3 shutout innings today. Zoilo Almonte looks to be earning left field spot.
Lose in practice. Win when it counts.
Before all these BS useless defensive stats were conceived by the most ignorant, how did teams ever evaluate players.
Howdy very cool website!! Man .. Beautiful ..
Amazing .. I will bookmark your site and take the feeds additionally?
I am happy to seek out numerous helpful information here within the submit, we want work out more
techniques in this regard, thank you for sharing.

My eyes can tell me how well a players defense is. NO made up stat can ever do that.
The Yankees with 83 players in camp are giving a lot of kids big time exposure, the trough is full. Some will be ready earlier than others.
The Yankees will have another successful season in 2013.
Heya i'm for the first time here. I found this board and I find It truly useful & it helped me out much. I hope to give something back and help others like you aided me.
Feel free to visit my weblog week
One heck of a site. Love it.
Anyone can tell good defensive players by watching them. Made up stats tell you nothing and deceive most of the time.
Kuroda to get some innings this afternoon.
Stat frauds in general make me sick.
Over the next few days all the bigger name pitchers will get into live action.
I see Andy Pettittes son pitched a no-hitter in high school this week. would be nice if Andy throws one this season to cap off his brilliant career.
I can't wait untile Jetes get back.
Nice spring training W/L record.
Soon some of the kiddies will be moved to minor league camps paring some of the 83.
Simply the best baseball blog in the world. Common sense and no deceit.
It should be about time for the veteran name players to get into action.
Nova wirh a solid two shutout innings today.
I think this Yankee team will come together very nicely this season.
So far so good.
Several youngins' building their resume for the Grandyman OF spot.
One more week until Jeter is back.
Yankees/boxux at 4PM today MLBTV
Ichiro totals his car, but he is OK. Warren to start today.
We don't need any more injuries.
Warren is ready.
If from the lips of WIN METHOD, it shall be.
We are very deep in pitching from start to finish.
Team gets a full day off today to do whatever.
Hope everyone enjoys theri time off. then it is back to work.
Just stay healthy and don't do anything stupid.
Everything is quiet. No stat frauds here. They must be drafting their make believe teams. Make believe and stat frauds are two peas in a pod.
Night game today as the Yankees return to action.
Slow and steady wins t;he race. It only counts when it is for real.
The Yankees will win the AL East this year.

several players with minor ailments. all have been overblown as reported by the media rumor mongers.
Tex hurts wrist in the joke WBC and may be out several weeks.
The WBC should be destroyed along with its organizers.
Our pitching may need to come up big to start the season off right.
Mariano Rivera will pitch for the Yankees for the last time and end his career after this 2013 season.
It had to come to an end at some time Thanks WIN METHOD. Loe ya,
Lets hope Mo can go out in grand fashion.
Have a great season Mo.
Say it ain't so Mo. Best of luck, and thanks for the memories.
Hope you go out like a shining star Mo.
Mariano Rivera....greatest closer in the history of baseball,
Shalom Mariano.
Will be sad to see you go Mo. Better everything must end at some point.
Have one more great year Mo. Best of luck.
WIN METHOD is first with big news again. Thank you Mariano for what you have done in and out of baseball.
will be sorry to see Mo gone. Nova did have three solid innings last night,
WIN METHOD first again with Mo.
Jeter has been OK'd for any and all full baseball activities.
With some of the greats leaving us via retirement baseball is going to look different without them.
Smile, be happy, everything will be alright.
Andy Warren rocked today in his third start.
Can't wait until the Yankees later this spring put their 'A' team or some semblance there of on the the field.
Any day for Jetes now.
The Yankee 3-10 spring record is nice. The games don't count.
Wins and losses, the defining difference between WIN METHOD and stat frauds.
Mo retirement statement tomorrow 10AM.
Mariano to make his statement in two hours or so. Have a great final year Mo.
Lets go Mo, lets go Yankees. One more time.
Mo makes it official. Last season.
The captain is back, Jeter starting today for the Yankees.
Lead the way Derek. You are the best of the best.
Jetes singles to lead off game in his first at bat against real pitching.
Good for Jetes. He works hard for what he earns.
The Yankee 2013 season is looking ver bright.
Joba had another perfect inning. And this kid Ramirez threw four innings of one hit ball.
Our pitching is exceptional.
Ramiez has been electrofying this spring and may be a big time gem.
While I know at times it's been trendy to criticize those who criticize ARod (and at times it hasn't...I lose track with this guy), yet again today he does something that is either stupid or passive aggressive (or both).
The Yankees put out a press release passing along Jorge Posada's tribute to Mo as Posada couldn't be there in person. Notably, they didn't do the same with ARod...and he released his own statement.
In part, his announcement said of Rivera, "Mariano Rivera is arguably the greatest closer of all time."
Now, the term 'arguably' may seem like a small thing. And if this was with a microphone in his face, I think it's completely understandable that a word slips in that isn't really appropriate as it's not within a prepared statement.
But the whole point of a prepared statement is just that: prepared and well worded.
I know many will say, "you're just noticing that because it's Arod". And they would be right...sort of. I would actuaally notice it no matter who said it, but I would likely have a different reaction.
Everybody agrees Rivera is the best closer ever. Nobody disputes that. And somebody who loves to be known as a student of the history of the game, and one who chooses all words as carefully as ARod damn well knows that.
Yet again ARod says something that's either a subtle dig or stupid. He probably should realize that most don't even want him to comment on Rivera to begin with...he really doesn't deserve to.
Just stay away, fend off the latest round of steroid accusations and have your doctor continue to double as your PR agent when he tells us all that hip problems can't possibly be linked to years of chronic steroid use. A great Yankee, one of the classiest players of any generation, is retiring with humility and grace. Just stay out of it and don't get your disgraced fingerprints on yet something else.
Warren just hasn't been consistent enough. Ramirez is the big spring bloomer.
If afraud had any character, he'd just keep his lying mouth shut.
Extraordinary stuff from Mo and Jetes yesterday.
Jeter in lineup again today.
With the injuries backing up Grandyman and Tex will will need some extra good pitching to help carry us.
David Phelps with a sparkling five shutout innings for the Yankees today.
Phelps with 5 innings plus four minor leaguers with 4 innings shutout a hapless Blue Jay team.
Go Yankees.
CC slated to start late this coming week.
Three weeks to the real season.
Everything is slowly coming together for a solid 2013 season.
Kuroda starts this afternoon.
Kuroda four shutout innings and one more shutout inning for Joba. Youkilis HR.
Mainstay pitchers have been pretty much lights out.
Robertson and Betances each with a shutout inning. WOW!
Beautiful pitching staff.
I've come here to tell you that all you folks on here know nothing about baseball! I have never watched a game or played, but I've seen over 1 billion stats on my computer!! That tells me all I need to know!
I'd rather have a team that goes 59-103 with 9 players that slug over .500 with a BQS rating of 4.5 or better, than a team that goes 110-52 but has a low OBP and low defense range zone rating below 3.6 centigrams, like Jeter.
Wins are for losers!
(but I do like the cool graphics on your site and respect your point of view, and those of your very diverse and international commenters).
Valuable info. Fortunate me I found your website unintentionally, and I'm stunned why this accident did not came about earlier! I bookmarked it.

Jeter to start at short any day now.
Pitching is normally the key to winning consistently.
Strawman...I will assume you are pulling our leg with your post. Wins are the only stat that matters and or counts.
Strawman could be stat fraud having some stat fun.
JS has to be kidding. If not he is insane. Lets leave it at that.
Nova with four scoreless innings today. Yankee pitchers have now gone 25 consecutive scoreless innings over last three games.
Jeter to start at short tonight vs Phillies.
Yankee pitching inning scoreless streak stopped in 26th inning. Only 1 run allowed in last three games.
Strawman has to be joking. No one, I repeat, no one could be that stupid. Even to suggest defensive stats is utterly stupid.
Oh yes, it's going to be a very good season.
This text is priceless. When can I find out
more?
Here is my web-site - http://osphdpn.lo8s.com/vinddennyeipad3.dk/

Pettitte on the mound and Jeter at short as the Yankees host the Phillies tonight.
The season is closer and real baseball will begin.
Right now it may be that Hughes is the 6th starter to start the season.
Don't forget fans. Youkilis can play first while Twx is out as well as third. Not at the same time however.
Lets go Yankees.
It's only an exhibition game. With Derek Jeter leading his team, the Yankees pound Cliff Lee knocking him out in the third adn lead 5-1 after three innings with Andy Pettitte making his first spring start.
Rivera with another 1,2,3 inning.
It was nice trouncing gutless Cliff Lee last night.
Ramirez, the kid lighting up spring training is set to go today.
Ramirez just turned 23 in January and it appears he is putting everything together and is ready to make a big splash. Lets see how it goes.
Ramirez, no matter how well he does, may have to start the season in the minors because as of now there may be no roster spot for him on the big team.
Jeter coming back means much to this Yankee team going forward. He is the leader and face of the team if not all that is good with baseball.
The continued and spectacular development of Ramirez only offers the team more options and flexibility.
Notoriety catches up with Ramirez as he is bombed off the planet in first inning today. Kabom!
Warren came in to relieve Ramirez and was shelled worst than Ramirez.
It is very interesting and factual just how meaningless stats really are. In the last five games we scored 20 runs and gave up 20 runs. the only important and meaningful stat is we won four and lost only one of the games.
CC tomorrow.
Lets get ready for some real baseball when WINS are all that counts.
Win 4 and lose 1 by 12 runs. That is WIN METHOD baseball. WINS!!!!
Hughes said he thinks he will be ready to start the season.
Phelps is ready, Kuroda is ready, Pettitte is ready. CC and Hughes are next.
Lets build CC.
CC rusty in his first spring start. goes five innings giving up eight hits and one walk but only two runs. Robertson and Joba one inning each as Yanks win meaningless spring game. five innings for CC should leave him very close to being full bore to start the season.
I think this Yankee team will get better as the season progresses. Especially if afraud is kicked out.
Five innings first out for CC. He must have been doing a lot of work behind the scene.
94-98 wins this season.
Shalom Yankee fans. Lets have another winning season.
I always come back here for the insight and wisdom of intelligent baseball.
Just need Hughes to get a few games and innings under his belt.
Split games today. Phelps in one and Kuroda in the other.
Jeter also set to play consective games at short. Still the best defensive shortstop in baseball.
WINS....the ONLY STAT.
Kuroda with a solid six innings. One bad inning allowing 4 runs, 3 on a 3 run HR.
Mo with another shutout inning.
