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.

«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 1495 Newer› Newest»Can we please get Kuroda some runs tonight.
Jeter out for the weekend at least. Quad.
We can't catch a break, but we are still in contention.
Jeter out again is a downer.
Yanks hold 2-0 lead in the 7th in a rain delayed game played in a very consistent rain.
2-0 Yankees after 8.
Mo in the 9th.
Good solid pitching from five guys last night for a 2-0 win and the first game of the series. Game two this afternoon.
Hughes turn for a win today.
Go Yankees. Take the series today.
1-1 after 2.
1-1 after 5.
Down 2-1 after 7. Hughes has been solid allowing 2 solo HRs. Yank bats quiet. Two more innings.
Yanks lose 4-1.
Ranks go down 4-1. Rubber game tomorrow. Need a win for the series and a 4-3 week.
Hughes gives up 3 more home runs and gets a loss.
don't score runs and you will lose.
Jeter breathes life into this team. We do need him back.
Rubber game today and we need to win it.
Come on guys, need to produce when it counts.
Win today and take four days off.
CC throwing batting practice, Yanks down 5-1 after 3.
One heck of a rotten series going into the all star break..routed by the twinkies.
To make the playoffs we are going to have to step it up starting this weekend in Boston.
Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was super long)
so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any tips and hints for first-time blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.
my blog; pozyczka przez internet
Time to regroup, then need to come back running and winning.
Time for a few days away from baseball.
Anonymous. First, try using your name. Second, your blog must be something millions of people want and need. If you can't provide one and two, you will flounder.
We need a very strong second half of the season. Have to win alot of games.
Exclude April and we are just .500 ball. That doesn't make the playoffs.
Jeter could be back and don't be surprised to wee Pineda in the rotation. Also a deal of some magnitude could be done by the trading deadline.
The season is in our hands. Do or die.
We have several starters to surrender, but would would have to get a true productive bat for one. If not, then no trade.
lets go Yankees
It will be a battle in the last 2 1/2 months.
Why not? Cano HBP in all star game and taken off field.
Cano not as bad as first feared. Hit on quad, not knee. MRI clean.
Action Friday and we need a good win streak.
WINS WINS WINS nothing else matters.
Many more wins than losses.
WIN METHODS truth and wisdom rules.
Prepare for the final run. The rest of the season begins tomorrow.
Now we separate the winners from the losers. The best go on to the second season.
Lets go guys. WIN METHOD baseball.
Pettitte, Kuroda, and Sabathia scheduled for the bosux series. Interesting Girardi is using two lefties in Fenway. considering he could have set rotation anyway he wants after the break. But I guess he did what he feels is best.
Izzy, Girardi knows what he is doing. If we don't score runs it won't make any difference who pitches when.
Come on Andy. Nothing but wins.
Yanks down 3-2 after 6.
Yanks go down 4-2. Almonte sprains ankle.
No hitting again when it would have mattered most.
Not the way to start the second half, but considering we have more injuries and lost time than any team in the history of baseball, we are still in contention.
Yanks up 4-2 after 7. S lot of hits, not many runs.
Mo coming in for the 9th, to hold a 5-2 lead.
Mo with another save. Yankees win 5-2.
Kuroda has been the most consistent starter and is keeping us alive.
After CCs last very poor outing, look foe him to dominate tonight. should be a Yankee win.
Take the series tonight and gain a game.
Get the job done CC. Bounce back with vengeance.
A win tonight and the Yanks take 2 of 3 from the division leader to start the second half. Wins.
CC and Yanks up 3-0 after 3.
CC crashing and burning. Down 6-3
Yanks fight back for 7-7 tie after 7.
Sabathia is killing us. We get 7 runs and lose in extra innings with the bullpen only giving up the 1 run.
We had better look alive or it will be a down season.
We need to put a win streak together and in a hurry. I can live with a 15-5 run.
When you take in the fact the losses of Jeter, Granderson, Teixeira, Pineda, then Youkilis, Nunez, Nix, etc., the team has hung in very well. It ain't over yet.
Once again a scoreless game. Another loss. It is soon becoming now or never.
I agree William. Time is growing shorter with the passing of each game. And only wins can overcome.
Hughes tonight.
ninth inning rally gives Yanks 5-4 come from behind win in Texas.
Second go around. Pettitte tonight. We need to keep winning.
Keep the wins coming and close the gap to first in the division.
Cruz newest Yankee on the DL.
Same old stuff. Yankee first two batters single then 3,4, and 5 K,K and weak grounder for nothing. Texas gets run when Pierzynski delivers a hit with 2 out for a 1-0 lead.
Yanks down 1-0 after 3.
Yanks tie it and then Pettitte gives it back in the 6th. 2-1 Texas after 6.
Yanks lose it. Don't win to many scoring one run.
Need to win for a split of this series.
Kuroda, our true ace goes for the series split this afternoon.
Kuroda comes up the ace again with a 2-0 Yankee shutout.
Afraud saga of disgrace continues. Ban him already, forever.
Our pitching is what is keeping us alive. We surely aren't hitting.
Just need to keep winning.
CC tomorrow. He needs to step up big time.
This is a division series we need to win. Three with the Rays in the Bronx.
Time to be the ace again CC. It is on you.
Some run production by the lineup would be a big help in obtaining wins.
Soriano back, in lineup tonight? Take game one.
Wins is what it will take to reach the playoffs. If anyone thinks anything else is more important, they are fools.
Soriano is starting tonight. Score and win.
With all the talk about the rotation and the Yankee abundance of starters, it is looking like Sabathia should be dropped from the rotation. Just gave up six, yes six runs in the second inning burying the Yanks after two innings.
Yanks down 6-0 after 2. CC looks horrendous.
Yanks down 6=1 after 3.
Soriano flies out with the bases loaded. Down 6-1 after 3.
CC let us down again. Need to win badly today.
Another 1-0 loss. WOW!
Jeter to be back tomorrow. The season is growing shorter.
A win today and we only lose one game to the Rays over the weekend instead of three.
Hope Jeter can light a fire and carry us.
Jeter homers on first pitch he sees sparking the Yanks to a 3-0 lead. Then Hughes gives it all back and then some in the 2nd and 3rd.
Jeter leads off the 3rd with a single and Soriano homers for a 5-4 Yankee lead after 3.
Jeter again, 2 for 2. Perfect defense.
5-5 after 5.
5-5 after 6.
5-5 after 8.
Theeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeees Winnn.
Yanks win in 9th 6-5 on Soriano walk off single.
Jeter walked intentionally in ninth leads to Soriano rbi game winning single in ninth.
Jeter breathes life into his team to spark 6-5 win.
Will Jetes be able to carry his team to the playoffs?
Jeter can do anything, but he will need some help. Soriano is a start.
What life Jeter brings to the Yankees. Flawless defense and a life to the offense.
Day off traveling on a jet plane to LA.
Who will be next to return to the lineup.
Still a deal to be made? Go Yankees.
An Afraud ban may be imminent.
Pettitte opens LA series tomorrow.
Say goodbye Afraud.
Drop the A bomb on afraud.
Go Andy, get us another win in lalaland.
Jeter should be at home in Hollywood.
Gotta win tonight. Lets go Yanks.
Another tough one run loss. Kuroda today to earn the split.
Excellent win by the Yankees taking out the dodgers 3-0 and ending the dodger win streak.
Nice off day in California. Three in San Diego over the weekend.
Granderson back tonight. the lineup is slowing getting a little deeper. Two months to make the playoffs.
CC needs to really step forward these last 2 months of the season. 9-1 record for Aug and Sept would be fine with me.
A weekend sweep. Yes!
We need to win more consistently.
CC needs to carry this team thru Aug and Sept to reach the playoffs.
Score early and often and win, win, win.
CC struggling again. Yanks down 4-2 after 4.
CC gets drubbed. He seems to have little 'stuff' and gets hammered each game. This does not portend well for the rest of the Yankee season.
Nova today to get us even. We need a big run of wins.
Even a 10 game win streak may only get us 2-4 games closer to the playoffs.
Yes we do need to step up the wins or we will be out of the playoffs.
The way Nova has been pitching, he deserves a win.
one win at a time. Start tonight.
zip zip after 5.
Granderson HR gives Yankees 2-0 lead after 7. Nova looking great again.
2-0 Yanks after 7.
Robertson with a shutout 8th. Yanks lead 3-0. Mo in the 9th.
Rivera 1,2,3 and another save. 3-0 win.
Yanks win 3-0.
Here is my countdown to the playoffs.
39 more wins.
Nice win. I like your countdown to the playoffs Gus. Lets do it 39 more.
We have Hughes going in this afternoons game. The win countdown must continue.
Hughes isn't at the Stadium so he should be able to give us a quality game today and a win.
Once again, no stat frauds for a very long time.
No let ups guys. We need every game to be a win. At least 7 of 10.
Hughes stinks up the place being relieved in the 3rd allowing at least 5 runs. Hughes may not be around next year.
Pineda pulled from game at AAA. shoulder aching.
Yanks cut into Padre 6-0 lead and trail 6-3 mid 7th.
Final, 6-3 loss. Hughes lost it real early.
Yanks lose 6-3.
Afraud may be allowed y to play when he appeals his suspension. Crap. Then ban him for life.
Still 39.
The dirt bag Afraud fiasco will be in full bloom today. Ban him forever.
Pettitte, Kuroda, Sabathia scheduled for the White Sox series. Need three wins.
Afraud is a disaster.
If we have to we will just play around afraud for a while.
Afraud suspended. Now the circus begins with Afraud in all three rings.
Just win games. Forget afraud.
Lets start the show.
Pettitte getting hammered. Afraud is making a mockery of MLB.
Yanks down 7-0 after four with Afraud creating a fiasco of the game.
Afraud embarrasses himself, the Yankee team and the Yankee fans as he appeals his steroid conviction and suspension. He leads his team to an 8-1 drubbing. Ban him forever.
Kuroda tonight. Can he do it again.
each loss makes the playoffs harder to make.
Afraud playing may be the nail in our playoff back.
Go Yankees.
We need to win and win and win.
1-1 after four.
Yanks down 3-1 in 8th as Afraud adds another defeat to his resume.
The black cloud over Afraud is falling over the Yankee team as they suffer another defeat with Afraud in the lineup. The Yankee record with Afraud is unblemished having not won a game this season with Afraud playing.
When Afraud was allowed tp play I think this Yankee team lost any desires.
The more Afraud plays the less chance we have at the playoffs.
With the addition and allowing of Afraud to play for the YANKEES, although it may only be temporary, the wind has been taken out of the sails, gloom and despair has raised it's ugly head and the YANKEE drive to a possible playoff berth may now be doomed for this season.
I am afraid that is what many Yankee fans are becoming aware of. Afraud is a curse.
Sorry to hear that proclamation WIN METHOD. Just have to wait until next year. Love ya
I tend to agree guys, but I still will hold hope for this season. As a great Yankee once said. 'It ain't over till it's over.'
Ban Afraud forever.
CC tonight. Ho hum.
Yanks up 4-0 after 4.
We all know that everything can't be blamed on Afraud. But his persona non grata does carry thru the team. three games, three losses and no rbis and no runs scored. The black hole lives.
The Yankees are home tonight. Here's to Afraud being booed unmercifully.
Off day today. the fans will have to wait until tomorrow to voice their over-whelming displeasure with Afraud.
The lost season of injury after injury.
I think we have very little chance at the playoffs this year. Afraud is the problem.
Think positvie thoughts Yankee fans. There is nothing we can do about the crippling injuries this season. In three weeks Afraud may be gone for good. Next season will be here sooner than you know it.
Chuck afraud forever.
Nova tonight.
Go Yankees, don't give up.
Nova goes against a top lineup tonight and he has been throwing real well. He can take another step forward in his confidence and stature with a good one.
I would love to see Girardi not play Afraud ever again.
Sweep the Tigers.
Yanks up 3-0 after 3.
Hapless Afraud 0-2 with 2 Ks, 1 with runner at 3rd and 1 out. Afraud fails to delivwr again and again and is a total waste.
Afraud leaves another runner at third. 0-3. At least he made contact this at bat.
Afraud 0-4 with 3 Ks. Pathetic.
