WIN METHOD...YANKEES...TRUTH & WISDOM

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.

Seven great innings from Hughes and the Yankees with one good inning win the first game of the series and the first game of the road trip 6-1.

Jerry Cucio said...

Nicely done. 4 straight wins now and moving in a positive direction. Wins is all that counts.

Vladimir Tinzik said...

Kuroda tonight for the Yanks. Hiroki is due a win.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Playing good baseball again. winning baseball.

Great WIN METHOD selections in the draft. WIN METHOD deeps us moving forward.

Victor Bruno said...

Hiroki, do what Phil did.

Pete H said...

WIN METHOD the Yankee unrecognized and best talent evaluator in baseball.

Go Yankees, make it five in a row.

Gene A said...

Keep the pressure on guys. Go Yankees.

Steve said...

One bad inning with bad breaks and Kuroda and the Yankees go down 4-1.

Sharon/NC said...

A loss only because we didn't hit again. Have to be more consistent with the bats.

Deb F said...

Pettitte getting back in the win groove today would be very nice.

Saul Irving said...

Go Andy.

jimbo said...

1-0 Yanks after 3.

Witt Coleman said...

1-1 after 4. When you watch shortstops defensively, you can see why Derek Jeter is the best defensive shortstop consistently in baseball. Even at his age.

KevMac said...

Yankees retake lead, 2-1 after five.

Stan the Man said...

Yanks up 2-1 after 5.

Jack Gordon said...

Vintage Andy Pettitte today. 7 innings 1 run 2 hits. Yanks lead 3-1 after 7.

johnsondc said...

Pettitte finishes 7 1/3 allowing 3 hits and 1 run. Drob gets the last 2 outs in the 8th. 3-1 Yankees. Mo needed for the 9th.?

Ted Lilly said...

Theee Yankeeeeeeees Win.

Linda Pardo said...

Mo 22nd save of year, Pettitte 250th win of career. 3-1 Yankees.

RLA said...

Phelps vs the 'dancing queen' tomorrow to either win or split the four game series.

Tommy Chin said...

Pettitte was very sharp today. A good win.

Eugene Rico said...

Wouldn't it be lovely for Phelps to win todays game.

Domenic said...

Winning this game would be big. Starting the road trip 3-1 is better than 2-2.

Nick Polito said...

Go Yankees. Send Felix to an early shower.

Victor Grandozi said...

What a great draft WIN METHOD.
Keep the kids coming.

Deb F said...

It's a team effort guys and you all know it. Good pitching, and timely hitting usually carries the day.

Erica Johnston said...

The WIN METHOD rules, everything else is for fools.

William Mensom said...

Michael Pineda pitched at A Tampa today going 4.1 innings throwing 68 pitches. Soon fans, soon.

Steve said...

Even 1-1 after two and Yankees have made the dancing queen work. But couldn't get the really big hit in the first two innings.

AAA said...

1-1 after 5.

Steve said...

1-1 after 7 as Phelps out-pitches the dancing queen. Both leave with a no decision. the bullpens now,

Warren Hammond said...

Yanks get 1 in the 9th for a 2-1 lead. Mo to try to save it.

will-i-am said...

Theeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnn.

Steve said...

Mo saves it. 2-1 Yankees, take series 3 games to 1.

RLA said...

Rivera gets 23rd save, Yanks win 2-1.

Gus Papa said...

Another good win and a great start to this western swing. Still not truly hitting however. But this staff is the best in baseball and will get better.

Gabe Hooks said...

Let Pineda come along slowly and don't push him. And he could still be easily ready to contribute in the second half of the season. Don't forget he missed a season and his innings will surely be limited.

Sharon/NC said...

Very nice weekend of Yankee baseball.

jimbo said...

Off day tomorrow and then CC opens in Oakland with Hughes and Kuroda to follow.

Domenic said...

I just reread WIN METHODs last blog entry. It has been the most accurate article I have ever seen posted by anyone in the baseball industry.

Laura Koehler said...

I agree Dominic, WIN METHOD is genius. The best there is.

Oliver Moore said...

Relax and enjoy the off day guys. You earned it, come back refreshed, there is much work to be done yet this season.

Donna2 said...

If we can take the next tow series on the road, we can really be on the fast track.

bigbadwolf said...

Nice draft by WIN METHOD. Things are looking good.

Fred Slube said...

Pineda coming back will make thing interesting for Girardi.

Tes Lilly said...

Day off so we root for our rivals to lose.

Quay Ho said...

Back in action tonight. Sabathia to take the mound.

Mike Smith said...

Take this first game of the series.

Seth Greene said...

Get it done CC, we need to keep winning and the ace should lead the way.

Guy Strom said...

We face Colon again tonight. Patience guys, what him out and hit your pitch, not his.

Sig Hammold said...

Pound Colon, pound him.

RLA said...

Aren't we due for a laugher?

jimbo said...

Take game one. Go CC. Go Yankees.

Benny Pake said...

Everybody hits, lets roll.

Patricia Piper said...

Keep it going CC.

Steve said...

CC looks terrible and is down 5-0 after 4 while Colon chugs away confusing Yankee hitters.

Gabe Hooks said...

Well we lost game one and CC has no one to blame but himself. Can't keep have outings like this if you want to be the best.

Allie Singh said...

Now we have to win to get even tonight.

Phil Jenkins said...

As bad as the loss was last night we still had a shot to the last out.

Linda Pardo said...

Get the win guys.

Jen Vitter said...

Which Phil Hughes do we get tonight. Hope it's the good one. Score some runs guys.

Tom Loughlin said...

Yanks down 2-0 after 3. Hughes sloppy.

Stan the Man said...

Yankees down 3-1 after six. Hughes didn't finish five innings allowing LL 3 runs.

jimbo said...

Yanks score 1 in the 7th and trail 3-2 after 7. Two more chances.

Ann Gallagher/PA said...

Two games in Oakland two losses. So-so pitching and no hitting makes for losses. Kuroda today to avoid the sweep.

Nick Polito said...

Right now we are 3-3 on the 10 game road trip. Want the win today, big time.

Alex Antonius said...

We do need to win today. And we do need to start hitting far more consistently.

johnny said...

Time for a Yankee win. Go Yankees.

William Mensom said...

I laud all the fans who post here and exactly what they posted on yesterdays game. NOTHING. Nothing needs to be said. It was one game and one loss. We move on and try to get better and win more games.

Stanley Chin said...

Yesterday is gone, today begins the future and more opportunities to earn the playoffs. Go Yankees.

bigbadwolf said...

Yesterdays loss was yet more evidence of how meaningless individual stats are. One hit on any one of 13 possibilities and an 18 inning loss could have been a win for the Yankees. As the WIN METHOD expounds, when you hit is much more important than how many hits. Ten hits and lose is for the stat fraud jerks. One hit and win is for intelligent WIN METHOD baseball fans.

Linus Walsh said...

Our old stopper Andy Pettitte goes tonight to stop the skid.

Deb F said...

We must at least win this series to have a .500 road trip.

Rahm Mahood said...

Andy to be the stopper again. Yes, if we score some runs.

Cory said...

Take this game and win this series. Get back on track.

Bert Jackson said...

Ugh, fourth straight loss as we can only score two runs again.

Come on guys, we need to win.

yanks2345716 said...

Lets go Yankees, you may have to pitch a shutout Phelps.

Stan the Man said...

2-2 after 5.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

5th straight loss. CC today to end the skein? 5 of the last 6 games we scored 2 runs each. In the other game we scored 4. That is the game we won.

YankeeMike said...

The Yankee lineup is making a lot of pitchers look good right now.

Donna2 said...

Man o man do we need a win.

johnsondc said...

Think positive, we will overcome.

Yankeeforever said...

5-0 Yankees after 5. We scored more than 2 runs, should be a win.

Stan the Man said...

A laugher turns into a nail biter as Angels score 5 in 9th, but Yanks hold on for a 6-5 win.

Mike Smith said...

Yankees win it, barely 6-5.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

A win is a win. Mo gets a save striking out Pujols on 3 pitches with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th.

Roy Jensen said...

CC threw a good one and we came away 4-6 on the western trip.

Carl Hooks said...

Off day and then the Dodgers visit NYC.

Ted Lilly said...

Mid June and we are still hanging in there. Jeter will make the difference when he gets back.

Andy K said...

Just need to keep winning.

Vinny Ferrero said...

Hopefully our upcoming homestand will make up for the poor road trip.

Steve said...

We get help tonight as O's lose.

Paco Duran said...

Good pitching and good hitting are the WIN METHOD lifelines to wins.

Stan the Man said...

Yanks up 3-0 batting in the 6th.

Tom Loughin said...

Yanks win game one 6-4. Mo 25th save.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Lets take game two and sweep them bums. That was the dodger nickname in NYC back in the days.

Stan tyhe Man said...

Hughes gives up 2 in the 1st and Yanks trail 2-0 after 2.

YankeeMike said...

Yanks trail 2-0 after 2.

Stan the Man said...

Hughes showing little to nothing and has allowed 5 runs in 5 innings.

Yanks down 5-0 after 6.

Giambino said...

Yanks down 6-0 after 8. Is there a miracle comeback possible.

RLA said...

It's over, a 6-0 loss. 3 hits. Not good.

Les Osaka said...

Tamps Bay comes to town for four game series. Andy Pettitte starts tonight.

Norm Gibson said...

We are threading water. How many more chances does Hughes get.

Victor Tinzik said...

As usual, need to win game one of this series.

Cory said...

Phelps tonight. We need to win the next 3 to win this series. If we only win 2 we continue moping along at .500.

Quay Ho said...

Hang on guys, Jeter will be back soon.

Tom Loughlin said...

Even the series. Wins rule and mean the playoffs or not.

RLA said...

Game time. Time to roll. Time to win.

Yanks lead 2-1 after 3 on 2 small ball runs.

Donna2 said...

Yanks take game 2. Even series.

RLA said...

Yanks win 6-2.

Linda Rice said...

Phelps has easily moved past Hughes on consistency and throwing better games.

Teena/Bronx said...

Yesterday..nice game for Almonte, good grinding by Phelps, nice building of several runs, perfect relief.

Today..do the same.

Will Greene said...

CC this afternoon and Nova back from AAA for Sunday afternoon.

Sharon/NC said...

Maybe AAA was the dose of reality that Nova needed to get his act together.

Wins today and tomorrow. Get rolling.

Erica Johnston said...

Go YANKEES. Shut them down CC.

NJYANKEE said...

Down 1-0 after two.

Almonte walks with bases loaded in 5th to give Yanks 3-1 lead.

Sean Smith said...

CC crashes and burns again allowing grand slam in 6th. Yanks trail 5-3 after 6.

Wells doubles with bases lead to give Yankees 7-5 lead after 7.

AAA said...

Yanks win it 7-5.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

CC gets bailed out and gets the win. almonte again and Wells make it happen. Yanks 7-5.

Tomas Velez said...

Yanks lead Rays series 2 games to 1. Nova tomorrow for the series win. come back strong Ivan. Prove you belong. Earn your spot.

evan donohue said...

Just goes to show. Almonte called up and replaces Wells. Almonte performs and then Wells performs as a pinch hitter. Now for Nova to perform to push for a rotation spot.

Zhaire said...

A win tomorrow would be a big step in playing more steady.

Victor Gandozi said...

Old Timers Day at the Stadium today. Celebrate the teams prior greatness and then win for future greatness.

We continue to plod along, but Almonte looks like he may be here to stay.

Tom Loughlin said...

I like the way Almonte hits the ball where it is pitched.

Andy K said...

Nova had a good game for 6 2/3 innings. Not good enough as he lost.

Mark Wagoner said...

Off day.

bigbadwolf said...

Still moping along and still hanging close in the division. Wins and only wins will determine who goes to the playoffs.

Finish this week and month winning the next two series.

The AL East continues to be the best division in baseball.

Cory said...

Keep chuggin' away guys. One win at a time. One series at a time.

Teena/Bronx said...

Andy Pettitte goes tonight. Earn the win Andy.

Linda Pardo said...

I see afraud opened his big mouth again and angered Cashman. afraud is such a lowlife.

Yankeeforever said...

The heck with Afraud, just get Jeter back.

Yankeeforever said...

Also Pineda went six innings last night. No runs and two hits.

bigbadwolf said...

Forget Afraud. Lets just play WIN METHOD baseball and win games.
