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.

Patricia Piper said...

Weekend poem


Weekend goal:

Dig out of the hole:

Win each game:

And stop playing lame.

Mike Smith said...

Ode from a poet.

Tom Loughlin said...

Boy do we need to win these two games.

Ray from Boston said...

Another tough loss in a game we easily could have won.

William Mensom said...

A couple of infield dribblers in one inning cost CC and the Yankees last nights game. Sometimes you have to be lucky over good.

Zhaire said...

Phelps you are needed badly. Bats please wake up.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

Game time and time for a win.

Victor Gandozi said...

As bad as we are going right now, w are still in contention for the playoffs. We have the rest of the season.

Gus Papa said...

We really need a win tonight. That will finish the first three months of the season with us just 5 1/2 games behind. Considering what we have gone through with injuries that would be very commendable.

Ron Francis said...

We are really struggling. Is there an answer.

Vinny Ferrero said...

It's sad when you can say splitting the four game with the Twins would be an improvement.

I have very pleased with Zoilo Almontes propensity with the bat, his base running, timely hitting to all fields and solid defense.

bigbadwolf said...

Getting dark Yankee fans. Almost time to light up the sky and then light up the rest of the season.

Linda Rice said...

O's at the stadium for a weekend series. Take the series guys.

Paul Jekovic said...

Just have to keep moving forward with wins and stay close to make a big final run to reach the playoffs. Jeter will probably make the difference.

Maurice Gaudeaux said...

Nova, Pettitte, Hughes to start against the Orioles. Keep winning.

Izzy Hernandez said...

Nova can prove something tonight. to be a winner or not to be a winner.

Kuroda completes 7th leading 1-0.

Stan the Man said...

Mo blows save. Gives up 2 run homer in 9th. Yanks coming to bat.

Steve said...

Yanks lose 2-1. Even Mo is not perfect. I wonder how many of those talk forum fools will claim Rivera is washed up and old and tired.

Eddie OConnor said...

What a pig-sucking horrid way to lose and stop a big win streak. At least we won the series.

Allie Singh said...

Say it ain't so. Mo blows game and gets the loss.

Giambino said...

Just have to out and win the next series. And the next and the next.

Earn the win Phil. Get us another win guys.

Saul Irving said...

Rain delay.

Will Greene said...

We lost game one. Now the burden is on us.

Quay Ho said...

Couldn't hit last night, makes for a loss.

will-i-am said...

CC tonight. Lets get back to playing winning baseball.

Hank Bauer said...

Get us even tongith CC.

RLA said...

Get back to the win column. Go CC go Yankees.

Steve said...

Another loss. 3-1. The past three games the Yankees have scored just one run in each game. That's three losses. Slip sliding away.

Stanley Chin said...

Ok that's it . We have had all our losses for this week.

Mike Smith said...

Not scoring runs again. We could have won it in the first inning last night. But no hit WHEN it counted most.

WIN METHOD said...

word I hear is MLB is about to issue suspensions for cheating lying drug violators. Afraud is one of them. Good news for YANKEES and YANKEE fans if Afraud is chucked for the season.

Erica Nuyens said...

Great news WIN METHOD. First again. Love ya

Vinny Ferrero said...

Afraud can always take up golf. He and Tiger will get along fine.

AAA said...

Goodbye Afraud, wish you were never here.

Yankeeforever said...

Try Japan Arod.

Cory said...

Say no to Arod.

Benny Pake said...

Time to win.

Saul Irving said...

Yanks leading 8-0 in 6th. Nova brilliant again.

Domenic said...

Nice win and great effort from Nova again. Yanks win it 8-1.

Yankeeforever said...

We can spit the four games with a win this afternoon.

johnsondc said...

Jeter to be back any day now. Afraud maybe never. Nova another good game. Two swings accounted for 7 of the 8 runs. Pineda back soon also.

yank34578 said...

Get even today. Move forward the Captain is alomost here.

Paul Hirschman said...

We have held close. Now to win it all.

Bob Behan said...

Pettitte tonight to earn the split the hard way. Go Andy.

Alex Antonius said...

Get us even Andy.

bigbadwolf said...

Jetes is back. will be DH and batting second in todays game. YES!

Nancy Hall said...

Welcome back Derek. You were sorely missed. Good luck.

Yankeeforever said...

Take us to the promised land Jetes.

Andy K said...

Good luck Captain.

NJYANKEE said...

Game time. Lets go Derek, lets go Andy, lets go Yankees.

will-i-am said...

Jeter singles in first at bat. Goes first to third on hit and run single and scores on a medium sac fly. However Pettitte allows 3 first inning runs and Yankees down 3-1 after one.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

Great to have you bake Derek.

Gene A said...

Yankees trail 4-3 after 4. Pettitte grinding.

Deb F said...

Jeter is back and is leading his Yankee team to an 8-4 lead after 6. Jeter has scored a run and knocked in a run and is the right handed force in the lineup the Yankees desperately needed,

Victor Bruno said...

Yankees win it behind Jeter. 8-4 and split series.

RLA said...

Yankees win 8-4.

Rahm Mahood said...

Pettitte with one rotten inning again. Still earned the win. Jeter breathes life into the team.

Stan the Man said...

Twins in for three over the weekend. Take the series and we have another winning week. Jeter is slated to start at short tomorrow. That well help solidify the infield defense.

Steve said...

Kuroda, Hughes, CC scheduled for the Twins series.

Giambino said...

The Twins are playing poorly but they can't lose all the time. Just don't start winning this weekend.

KevMac said...

Lets roll guys. Steady winning rules and carries the season.

Bert Jackson said...

As usual, take game one. Pitch Hughes. Hit lineup.

Les Osaka said...

It's Kuroda tonight. Hopefully Jeter at short. Would solidify defense. Jetes is brilliant defensively.
