WOW! YANKEE fans. What a great start to the 2013 season by this WIN METHOD built team. Stellar team play from guys like Hafner, Youkilis, Overbay, Nix, Nunez, Cervelli, Warren, etal. With injuries to key players, Jeter, Granderson, Teixeira, Pineda, we survive and fight on. Add in the injuries to Cervelli and Youkilis, and you wind up with one heck of amazing performance by this team so far this 2013 season. 16-10 win-loss record to end the first month of the season. A season that most prognosticators and talking heads were predicating only the worst case scenario for this years YANKEE team. The naysayers, the voices of gloom and doom have been silenced. Now their tired refrain is 'it can't go on'. But that is why we post here on the WIN METHOD blog. We post truth and wisdom, we support our team, and try to be positive. You guys and gals are WIN METHOD, you are the best, and you have made this site the biggest and best in baseball.
Coming down the road, we will have players returning to the lineup and a few guys who are here now will have to be dropped. We have so much talent on the horizon the YANKEES will continue their run of superiority and dominance unrivaled during the past two decades. There is only one player who we do not need back, and much of the teams success so far this year may have much to do with him not being here. We all know who we don't want back but may be forced to take back. No more Afraud, please.
How about Mariano Rivera. The pitching machine is as great as ever and that is saying something since he is the greatest relief pitcher in the history of baseball.
I see, as many of you have also seen, the stat fraud postings have been miniscule here lately. They have been beaten down with truth, wisdom, and logic. For newer posters here, stat frauds are the people who manufacture and create convoluted invalid formulas to try to evaluate players and then try to tell the world which players are best. Only the basic baseball stats are legitimate, runs, hits, batting average, etc. When you see or hear War, AWAR, ZR, replacement value and other garbage, ignore them and always remember that only wins and winning determine the best of the best.
If anyone has any questions, post them on this blog, and you will be answered by any and many of the brilliant knowledgeable baseball fans here. Post your opinions and views. Naysayers, post also, call us names if you wish, but foul language will always be deleted. We ban no one and love to hear from all sides. Even the stat frauds, who have no game and no sense.
The injured will slowly return and the playoffs are on the horizon. This team is what the WIN METHOD is all about. Rising to the occasion and excelling in the face of adversity.

I'm number one. Just kidding Erica.
Nice job WIN METHOD.
Very nice, go Yankees.
Phelps will get it done tonight if he reads the WIN METHOD.
WIN METHOD is truth and wisdom. Lets roll.
I see why this blog is the best. Love it.
The truth overcomes the detractors.
We can take another series tonight. But only if we win. Nothing else matters. Just more truth and wisdom.
We are number one. Go Yankees. Win tonight.
Thank you WIN METHOD
Love the Yankees and love this blog. Both are the best in baseball.
Take the series tonight.
Nothing surpasses winning and that is where the stat frauds go wrong.
Thank you fans for making this blog the best in baseball.
Do it Phelps. You may be running out of chances. Pitch and earn a spot.
Start off may like we finished April.
4-0 Yanks after three. Phelps has been in total control for the first three innings.
You spoke to soon Steve. Phelps implodes and gives up four in the fourth. 4-4 game.
4-4 after 4. Astro pitcher Bedard has thrown 90 pitches through 4 innings.
Yanks take 5-4 lead after six. Phelps in line for the win if score holds. One rotten inning.
5-4 yanks coming to bat in the 7th.
Logan with a shut down 7th and Robertson with a shut down 8th. Yanks lead 5-4 coming to bat. Mo another save/
5-4 after 8. Mo coming on.
Yanks up 5-4 after 8.
Mo does it again. 11th save.
Yanks win it 5-4.
Ballgame over 5-4 Yanks.
Starts may with a win. Win another series.
love to win a series and be outscored by the other team. It's all about the wins, the other stuff is for the stat fraud losers.
Excellent post WIN METHOD. And dead on right. Nice win last night and Mo just keeps rolling along.
Great blog fans. Isn't it nice to see a happy team dugout without afraud in it.
Phelps was pretty solid but for one inning last night. To be a better level starter, he would need to eliminate those big innings and just allow a run or two. He has good stuff.
Nice to have a day off. Even for us fans.
Came over after seeing blog listed in the mlb forum. Interesting.
West coast teams starting tomorrow.
The stat frauds are choking on WIN METHOD success.
CC will start our weekend series, then Hughes and Pettitte.
What will be fun to see is just how Girardi works in each player as each returns to the lineup. I s a possibility of having to much.
Just keep finding guys who keep putting the Yankees in the playoffs. That is why the WIN METHOD is better than anything else fin the world.
Lovely common sense clean blog.
Just keep winning one series at a time one game at a time.
Quick update...Joba put on 15 day DL Oblique.
Pineda rehab going great. Do not be surprised to see him this year.
Losing players seems to be the norm for us this year. When we start getting guys back lets see what happens.
No other team in baseball could lose players like the Yankees have and play winning baseball like the Yankees have. Why? The WIN METHOD.
Lets continue bing upbeat and win tonight. CCs the man.
How about Pineda coming back in July or August and pitching the way we think he can.
The following is quoted from a thread on the Yankee forum of a baseball talk forum, by a poster 'Yaz'......
""80 wins without Soriano. How the Yankees think they can lose a 42 save closer and replace him with a 43 year old is a mystery to me. Mo won't be sitting on 3-run leads like he's used to...he'll be blowing 1-run games. Pettite will be retired by the All-Star break. Jeter, Tex and CC will either be hurt or average. A-Rod/Youk will be hurt or below average. Cano and Ichiro will do their jobs but it won't be enough. And their pitching won't touch the rest of the AL East.""
This is every reason in the world why we post here on the WIN METHOD blog. Nothing else needs to be said.
Hi Carl... Let me add that there are some very good posters on those forums. However for every good one there are 10+ bad ones. The moderators as a whole are the worst but for one or two. This is the place for smart Yankee fans.
Thanks for the update WIN METHOD.
Keep us on the winning side CC. Shut them down.
Don't be surprised to see both Teixeira and Granderson this month. would allow for extra power right hand bat in the lineup up Teixeria. And a another power left hand bat with Granderson. Against a RH pitcher. Outfield all lefty, Gardner, Granderson, Ichiro. Hafner, DH, Teiseira 1B, Cano 2B, six lefties. Youk 3B, Nunez SS, and Stewart C.
Take game one and move on to tomorrow.
Go Yankees.
Lead the way CC. Prove your the 'ace'.
Pitch and hit. Do it. Everyone.
Game time
A's with HR on first pitch lead 1-0 after one.
Still 1-0 A's after 4.
2-0 A;s after 6.
Yanks down 2-0 after 7. We ain't hitting and we need a rally.
Still down 2-0 after 8. One more chance.
2-0 A's after 8.
Yanks lose 2-0. Can't win if you don't score.
Yanks lose 2-0.
Yanks blanked 2-0.
Yanks go down 2-0. Hughes to even the series tomorrow.
Interesting thing about baseball. And you always look in retrospect. CC threw his first pitch and lost the game right at that moment.
Hughes gets another chance to be the stopper again. Can he make it four great games in a row.
Get even today. Got to keep winning games.
Score some runs today team. Keep us alive Phil.
We hit some really hard shots last night, but they were either right at somebody or a great defensive play.
Rebound with the bats.
Lets go Yankees. Lets go.
No score after two.
Stewart HR gives Yankees 1-0 lead after 3.
Yanks score first on Stewart dinger.
Overbay Ballantine blast gives Yankees 2-0 lead after five.
Yanks lead 4-0 after 7. Hughes has pitched 7 ace scoreless innings and is coming out for the 8th.
Is it possible Hughes has turned the corner, figured it all out, and has come into his own? If he has this team is going to go an awful long way this season.
Hughes and Yankees win 4-2. Pen gives up 2 meaningless stat fraud runs in the 9th.
Series even as Yanks win. Rubber game with Andy going tomorrow.
Hughes was fantastic, I think he threw 117 pitches.
Hughes' performance helped carry a short pen.
Very nice bounce back win today. Now ti take the series tomorrow.
Now we will see if Pettitte bounces back from his last horrendous outing.
Great job Phil. Welcome to the world of dominant pitchers.
From start to finish Hughes was dealing. Great job.
Bounce back Andy, take another series.
Going to this afternoons game.
Keep the wins coming Teena.
Get it done Andy. Go Yankees. Wins.
Get another win Teena. Bounce back bog time Andy.
Do it Andy.
Game time!
No score after 2.
1-1 after 3.
Cano rbi atones for his throwing error in the 3rd and ties score 1-1 after 3.
A's up 2-1 after 4. Pettitte has struggles all 4 innings.

Pettitte gives up 2 run HR in 5th and is down 4-1.
Yanks down 4-1 after 5.
Yanks with 3 in 6th tie it 4-4 after 6.
Claiborne has pitched the 6th and 7th for the Yanks and looks great. Another WIN METHOD gem.

Logan in for the 8th and gives up HR. A's lead 5-4 with Yanks coming up in the 8th.
Down 5-4 after 8. One more chance.
Yanks go down fighting 5-4.
Yanks lose 5-4. Tough loss, and lose series.
Rotten loss. The brightest spot was Claibornes two innings. And was off second game in row. Nix stunk up the place at the plate. Logan gets the loss.
We have off day tomorrow to head West for three in Colorado and three in KC.
Yes, it was a tough loss today. The future is very very bright however.
The big guys are coming, the big guys are coming,
Kuroda, Phelps, CC in Colorado. Then Hughes, Pettitte, Kuroda in KC. At least .500 on the road. 4-2 would be great.
Claiborne had a spotless first MLB appearance. Another solid arm.
Slowly the season move along. 30 games played and 18-12 is solid.
Granderson/Wells flip flop is nice combo going forward.
DRob will be able to pitch tomorrow. That gives us an extra inning.
Get back to winning each series.
Sorry guys, my 2nd loss in two years.
No DH when we play the inferior league teams in their home parks.
The talking head have always knocked the Yankee farm, but the Yankee farm has given us many roster players over the past two decades and many chips used in trades for players. WIN METHOD is the best and the Yankee record proves that.
I dread our pitchers swinging the bat in these inferior league games,
Kuroda gets the start for the Yankees tonight in the first game of a six game road trip.
Start us off with a win Kuroda.
Take the game 1, 2, and 3. Everybody hits in Colorado.
Home coming Hiroki, back against a nl team.
Mow them down Hiroki. Take charge.
Lets go team, keep the winning coming.
Take game one and go from there. Lead from in front.
Scoreless after five.
Yankees down 2-0 after 6.
Yanks 3 up 3 down in the 8th. down 2-0 with one more chance.
Yanks lose it 2-0. The bats looked very sad tonight. Kuroda was solid again.
Yanks lose 2-0.
You can't win unless you score no matter how well your pitching is. Not a good start to the road trip. Make amends tonight.
Phelps turn to be a stopper and get us even.
What is also helping the Yankees in this time of injuries is that no one in the division has shown any dominance so far.
We need to score runs and support Phelps and all of our pitchers.
Hang tight men, reinforcements are on the way.
Get the loss back tonight. Win.
Wells 2 run home run stakes Yankees and Phelps to an early lead.
2-2 after 4.
2-2 after 6. Still not hitting.
2-2 after 8. Claiborne with another perfect inning.
Theee Yankeeeeeeees Win.
Yankees scratch a run in the ninth and Mo saves his 12th of the season, 3-2.
Yanks win 3-2. A tough gritty win. Phelps was good and the pen did the 7th, 8th, 9th,
Tanks even series with 3-2 win. CC for the rubber game and the series win tomorrow.
We scored 3 runs in the last w games combined but got a win out of it. Says much about our pitching.
CC this afternoon for the series win. We need it.
Get us the win CC.
We need to score a few more runs today.
The series, the series, win this series.
Lets go Yankees.
Give us a good one CC. Earn the win.
Wells rbi single gets Yanks a first inning run, then CC gives it right back. 1-1 after one.
1-1 after 3.
2-1 Yankees after 4.
A WIN METHOD run if there ever was one. Double, ground out behind the runner moving him to third, and a sacrifice fly for the run. Beautiful.
RAIN DELAY
Looks like the delay will be an extended period of time.
Yanks use six pitchers to earn 3-1 win and take Colorado series. Warren gets the win, Claiborne the hold, and Mo his 13th save.
Good start to roadie. No let ups now. On to KC and taking another series.
Hughes for us tonight. Keep the great pitching going.
Strut your self confidence Phil. Win for the team.
Good start to the short road trip. Now lets close it out with another series win.
Granderson started in right field and had three at bats in AAA game with Scranton last night. With no set back likely will be activated sometime next week.
Super news re Grandyman.
I just love the way this team is playing right now. Team baseball and the only guy when he comes back sho can gum up the works is Afraud.
As our injured get back this team will get stronger and stronger.
Lets roll and keep winning.
Throw us a win Hughesy.
Game time, Yankee time, win time.
