WIN METHOD....bringing out the best

Here it is the last month of the 2013 MLB regular season and the drive to the playoffs is on.   And yes, this YANKEE team is in the hunt and could still reach the playoffs this season.  WIN METHOD fans, and all baseball fans, think of the playing time lost by so many YANKEES this season.  I bet we couldn't name everyone, but lets try.   We lost regulars, then we lost replacements for the regulars, then we lost subs for the replacement players.

Jeter, Teixeira, Granderson, Cervelli, Youkilis, Hafner, Phelps, Nix, Almonte, Nunez, and you can throw in sad to say Afraud.  Add in the smaller injuries to several others for various amounts of time and you have more games missed than you can shake a stick at.

Through all the injuries the WIN METHOD has selected enough quality players producing just enough and at the right time to help keep this years YANKEE team in the playoff dog fight.  The YANKEE season isn't over yet.

It is as it always has been a matter of WINS.  Only WINS can take a team and a player to the second season.  Nothing else matters, no stat of any kind, be it an actual reality based stat or a convoluted misleading man made stat used and relied upon only by the most foolish of baseball fans.
A question that that the stat frauds can't handle and refuse to answer is....would you rather go to the playoffs because you won enough games, or would you rather lead the league in stats and not make the playoffs???

The interesting story of this season and what we need to take away from this season, is just how well the WIN METHOD can produce, even in the worst of times, and then just how great a season 2014 will look to be.  First things first, lets all root for this YANKEE team to reach the playoffs this season.  No matter what happens the rest of the year, this 2013 YANKEE team has done the WIN METHOD and Joe Girardi proud.  Lets roll.

AAA said...

As usual the proof is in the outcome.

RLA said...

It is going to be a very interesting winter in baseball land.

Cory said...

Anyone catch the MLB network show the othe night about stats in baseball. Some truth mixed with alot of garbage.

Lon Chaney said...

Come on stat frauds, give us something to ridicule.

YankeeMike said...

Not stat fraud, no deals, no signings, very dull.

Jack Bauer said...

Slow and steady can win the race when speed is not essential.

johnny said...

The Yankees will win next year.

Gus Papa said...

Just visited a baseball forum where all the posters were ripping the Yankees for paying Jeter. The claims, Jeter is to old, Jeter can't play shortstop, if Jeter starts season at short, the Yankees are throwing in the towel, Jeter is washed up. the Yankees have no outfield, no infield, no catching, no starting pitching, etc etc. My God what fools these people are. Thank God for this blog and sanity.

Victor Grandozi said...

Same here Gus. There are an awful lost of fans out there that do not know baseball nor have common sense. Aren't they called the uninformed or brain dead?

Sharon/NC said...

The stat frauds are afraid to debate their position here. Because their position is based on lies, deceit, and fraud. Here we challenge them and prove them wrong. When they talk among themselves they are always right in their own blind eyes.

Yankeeforever said...

Come on stat frauds, take us on. It is a long winter without baseball. Puck puck puck paa!

Nick Polito said...

How can so many say the Yankees have no chance next year, when with all the negatives from last year, they were still so close.

Teena/Bronx said...

Jeter going into the publishing business. Quality stuff, not the garbage so many are putting out.

Eddie OConnor said...

Jeter will be an overwhelming success because he is a class act with character and integrity.

KevMac said...

Yankees may be considering Cardinal Freese for third base.

George W said...

Anybody is better than Afraud.

Linda Rice said...

Entrepreneurs will be banging at Jeters door to be able to use his name in their projects. Jeter is GOLDEN.

HoundDog said...

Jeter will help lead the Yankees to the playoffs in 2014. Yes he will, mark my words.

johnny said...

Go Yankees

jimbo said...

Three months until pitchers catchers report.

bigbadwolf said...

Welcome HoundDog. Your words are marked.

Jack Bauer said...

Cano asking for 10 year 300M deal. Not in his wildest dream will he come close to that.

Gene A said...

Don't overspend on Cano. If he doesn't want to be a Yankee let him go.

Izzy Hernandez said...

The 2014 Yankees are going to surprise many people, but no one here.

Ted Lilly said...

If Cano were smart? he would play for the Yankees for less money than someone else may offer. He would make more in the end just on New York marketing.

Tommy Lee said...

Isn't about time they ban Afraud.

Alex Antonious said...

Have you seen what the piece of garbage Afraud is pulling at the baseball hearings. Afraud should be banned for life at minimum.

will-i-am said...

Heard about it Alex. Afraud cursing, banging, slamming, and walking out. He needs to BE GONE!

Dave Thorne said...

In Afrauds mentally deluded way the whole world is upside down and he is the only thing right with the world. Bury his lying cheating butt once and for all.

Rahm Mahood said...

Afraud is as disgusting as the leader of the this country. The lowest of the low.

johnsondc said...

Afraud case is technically over. Result should come within 10 days. Hang em high.

Cory said...

Down with afraud.

Ralph Higgins said...

Afraud wouldn't even testify in his own defense. If he did he would have been caught in lie after lie if he didn't tell the truth of his cheating.

Vinny Ferrero said...

I heard the final decision may take at least a month.

Lou Lis said...

Total garbage, that is what afraud is, total garbage.

Pierre Jadot said...

Why is everything so slow. the decision should only take one or two days. To much incompetence in the world nowadays.

Nick Polito said...

Just delays the Yankees on how much they will be able to spend.

KevMac said...

Freese traded to Angels by Cards.

Tony Kanchu said...

Arod when he plays causes problems and when he doesn't play, he causes problem. Sad to say, but he must go.

Hector Lopez said...

Afraud must go.

Harry Stavris said...

Just take thing as they come and go from there.

Andy K said...

Jeter will be back and will make a difference while leading his team to the playoffs.

Cory said...

who will be the first Yankee to be dealt or leave the team?

Victor Bruno said...

I would think it may be Hughes or Joba.

bigbadwolf said...

Yankees sign catcher McCann. WIN METHOD gets us a gem.

Linda Rice said...

Thank you WIN METHOD, thank you Steinbrenners, thank you Yankees.

Ben Rosen/Israel said...

What great news to wake up to. McCann is a great sign and will be a superb addition to the team.

Fred Slube said...

Yes, a major piece for next season. Way to go guys.

Robert Mandell said...

The WIN METHOD marches on. Great acquisition.

Victor Grandozi said...

McCann is an outstanding gain and we lose nothing.

Jack Bauer said...

I've been perusing baseball forums and their discussions about the Yankees. I can see why this is the best baseball and Yankee site of any and all.

johnsondc said...

No question Jack. This is not only the best, but the most accurate and positive.

aul Hirshman said...

Great signing. We have our catcher.

Warren Hammond said...

Love McCann. He will fit in well. Just what we needed.

Yankeeforever said...

Our lineup has added a dangerous bat in McCann. Looking good.

Mike Smith said...

McCann is our man now. Great signing.

jimbo said...

Off season is here. deals are being make and through it all not one stat fraud appears to defend their lies and meaningless stats they make up.

Steve said...

Love having McCann as our catcher.

Gene A said...

Yes on McCann and no on stat frauds. When stat frauds come here they leave embarrassed and foolish.

Sharon/NC said...

Next season is looking brighter already.

Steve said...

Hope WIN METHOD finds us just one top pitcher. Knowing him and if the Yankees listen, it will get done.

YankeeMike said...

McCann will love the Stadium. Look for 25+ home runs from him and a winning season.

Teena/Bronx said...

It's amazing how every time the Yankees make a move the nay sayers whine and cry. Welcome aboard Brian. You are headed to being the AL all star game catcher.

William Mensom said...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. WIN METHOD fans eat turkey, stat frauds eat crow.

RLA said...

Same to you William and your post was brilliant.

Sharon/NC said...

Happy Thanksgiving from North Carolina.

sid greenberg,nyc said...

Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for Brian McCann.

Linda Pardo said...

Happy Thanksgiving.

Bob Behan said...

Best wishes for a tasty turkey. Enjoy.

Teena/Bronx said...

Baby its cold outside and the Macys parade will be breezy. Happy Thanksgiving.

Alex Antonious said...

Happy turkey day.

Quay Ho said...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Tom Loughlin said...

Gobble gobble, Happy Thanksgiving.

Eddie O'Connor said...

Happy Thanksgiving, don't eat to much.

Ben Rosen/Israel said...

A once in a life time Judeo/Christian holiday on the same day. Best wishes and holiday to all.

Erica Johnston said...

Thanks Ben and the best to you and your family.

bigbadwolf said...

Parade watching on tv. Have a great Thanksgiving WIN METHOD fans.

Phil Jenkins said...

Tom is in the oven. Everyone have a great holiday and enjoy the one or ones you are with.

Cory said...

Happy Thanksgiving..

KevMac said...

Turkey day is here, can Santa be far behind? Enjoy everyone.

Mike Smith said...

Happy Thanksgiving.

Stan the Man said...

Turkey has been consumed. time for a walk and then dessert. Happy Thanksgiving.

Warren Hammond said...

Yankee fans have much to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving.

Lee Askew said...

Back from grandmas, happy thanksgiving.

Robert Mandell said...

Happy belated Thanksgiving.

johnsondc said...

Beltran may be the next Yankee acquisition.

HoundDog said...

I don't know if I really want Beltran. He could be a good fit if WIN METHOD gives the OK.

Yanks23245 said...

Hope all had a healthy and hearty Thanksgiving.

George W said...

Pitching is a must. We need one big time starter.

Warren Hammond said...

Tanaka may be the Yankee goal. That would give us CC, Nova, then ???? Pineda, Phelps, Tanaka, Hughes, Kuroda, Warren, Nuno, etc etc.

AAA said...

Hope everyone didn't eat or spend to much. Baseball is getting closer.

Teena/Bronx said...

McCann is going to be a big piece to the lineup. He will love NY.

Tommy Lee said...

Phil Hughes has signed 3 year deal with Twinkies. One problem taken care of. Will be fun to have him pitch against us next year.

Izzy Hernandez said...

Good luck Phil. You aren't on the big stage anymore.

Stanley Chin said...

The off season is looking good for the Yankees.

Patricia Piper said...

Get your shopping done Yankee fans.

johnsondc said...

Wow, we are getting stronger and stronger. Can't wait to start the season.

Eric Nuyens said...

Great WIN METHOD. You are the best.

Yankeeforever said...

Our lineup is going to be awesome in 14. We just need afraud gone.

Robert Mandell said...

Good gracious WIN METHOD, you've been awfully busy.

Matt Hargrove said...

Lets get ready to roll in 14.

AAA said...

Looking good.

Eddie OConnor said...

Also have Gardner, maybe Cano if he is smart. But that is his problem. A couple of quality minor league options available.

Carl Hooks said...

The Yankee will rule again in 2014.

Jimmy Thames said...

Who will the Yankees sign next?

WIN METHOD said...

The YANKEES will sign Jacoby Ellsbury for a multi year deal very soon.

bigbadwolf said...

With Gardner, Ellsbury, and Sorianno, that leaves the Yankees with the best outfield in baseball.

Warren hammond said...

Another great signing.
Ellsbury, Jeter, Cano?????, Tex, Soriano, McCann, DH, 3B, Gardner.

DH...Wells, Ichiro, Granderson????

3B...anybody but Afraud

Alex Antonious said...

You know the Ellsbury signing is great when you see the fools on the forums knocking it. What a great fit.

Tony Kanchu said...

Now lets see if Cano has the brains to stay a Yankee since all can see how much the team is trying to improve with their recent signings. If Cano and his fool agents only want money, go someplace else. we may very well be better off without him.

Frank Sergi said...

Well rounded lineup with speed and power. Lets go Yankees.

Hector Lopez said...

We will see if Cano is still WIN METHOD or if he rather take money over winning and team.

will-i-am said...

Cano cango.

Gus Papa said...

I have no problem with Cano leaving. It will be his decision to be a Yankee or just another loser somewhere else.

Gus Papa said...

I have no problem with Cano leaving. It will be his decision to be a Yankee or just another loser somewhere else.

Sharon/NC said...

McCann and Ellsbury, very very nice.

Raji Mahood said...

WIN METHOD selectee Brian McCann introduced to the Yankee world and takes uniform #34 this afternoon. what a steal for the Yankees.

Jimmy Thames said...

Once again, who will the Yankees sign next?

Gloria K/Austin said...

The Yankees are looking to the playoffs big time.

Yanks23245 said...

The 2014 Yankees are getting deeper and deeper. 2014 is going to be a fun year after the injury plagued 2013 season.

bigbadwolf said...

READ THIS YANKEE FANS..................This is a copy and paste of a post by an imbecile who is entitled to his opinion, on one of the baseball talk forums........""""""""I didn't like the Brian McCann signing but, but Ellsbury is an atrocious signing. I am literally disgusted. I still can't believe it. NO ONE SAW THIS COMING. 7-year, $20M a year contract for a 30-year-old CENTERFIELDER - one of the least important positions ever. Whoever posted the stats earlier about Gardner vs. Ellsbury makes me want to throw up. Why didn't we just give Granderson his $14M and then see how things played out w/ the rest of the OF and that decent prospect???? IMO this is the worst deal in the history of baseball (prior to them playing, i.e. Pavano etc). I hope Jacoby somehow proves us wrong but that's all-star money.

IMO this deal means that there is no way Robinson Cano is re-signed. Maybe they were mad at Cano and just wanted to prove a point. "Oh yeah, you want that absurd amount of money? Well we're going to take the deal we think we should give you and ... give it to ... Jacoby Ellsbury!"

Look, being a real fan means supporting your team through the bad and the good, but I don't know what to say about this. What do you do when this happens??? I'm so confused. I still can't believe this is real."""""""""

Wow, I can't believe some fans are this stupid.

Gary Shrieber said...

It scares me how stupid some baseball fans are. Probably just a result of the dumbing down of America by the leftists.

will-i-am said...

Cano cango gone.

Tommy Lee said...

Granderson to Mets. My condolences to Curtis.

Benny Pake said...

Bye bye Cano, we will not miss your not running out batted balls.
Does Seattle want afraud back.

Gus Papa said...

Kuroda resigns. That makes three solid starters. I bet the Yanks go all out for Tanaka. They have the money with Cano and Granderson gone.

Teena/Bronz\x said...

So it looks like Cano took money and has no intention of winning another WS.

Vinny Ferrero said...

1B set C set SS set 3B set LF set CF set RF set 2B needs to be settled. Three starters set. Not to shabby.

Todd Starnes said...

WIN METHOD called it over a week ago. Beltran signs with Yankees. Holly heck what a lineup.

Lou Lis said...

Look what we may have now. With four starting outfielders, one get to DH every fourth day.
1.Ellsbury OF 2.Jeter SS 3.Beltran OF
4.Tex 1B 5.Soriano DH 6.McCann C 7.Nunez 3B 8.???? 2B 9.Garner OF. Yes holly heck.

Linda Rice said...

Thank you oh thank you WIN METHOD. What fine acquisitions and no losses.

Ben Rosen/Israel said...

Here here WIN METHOD.

AAA said...

How sweet 2014 will be for Yankee fans.

Tom Loughlin said...

Re Beltran and Cano. So we get a guy that wants to be a Yankee and we lose one that didn't

Yanks23245 said...

A switch hitter for the middle of the lineup. Girardi is in heaven. Imagine the lineup possibilities.

William Mensom said...

Cano played for his individual stats more than he played for the tea. Illustrated by his continual lack of hustle and cavalier attitude. To much Afraud rubbed off on him. Cutting out the cancer is always good when you can do it.

bigbadwolf said...

Very impressed with what the Yankees have done this off season. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if Tanaka is next on their list.

jimbo said...

If the Yankees can't get Tanaka I almost rather they just pitch from within.

Yankeeforever said...

Bye bye Robbie, don't let the door hit you on the way out. You embarrassed yourself with your quest for $$$$.

Ralph Higgins said...

We here know that individual stats are just that, but a player who wins games for his team is always better than a player with individual stats that doesn't help his team win games. That in essence is where the stat frauds go wrong and are blinded by their convoluted misguided stats. Since wins determine the best, it is fool hardy to judge on individual stats instead of wins.

Jack Bauer said...

The way things are going, if Tanaka gets posted the Yankees will sign him.

AAA said...

Cano's issue with Joe was petty and egotistical. He wanted to boost his numbers, not bat where the team needed him to bat.

Cory said...

Cano went south slip sliding away from WIN METHOD baseball and made his own bed. In finality, no loss.

Patricia Piper said...

Three early Christmas presents from the Yankees for the fans.

Zhaire said...

One top pitcher needs to be added. Tanaka???

Mitch Auman said...

Tanaka could be the Yankee ticket to another World Series championship.

Vladimir Tinzak said...

I can't wait for the season to start.

Dan Evans said...

We also have Pineda, Warren, Nuno, Phelps. Who knows who will be the come out pitcher.

Yanks23245 said...


Who goes first. Ichiro or Wells?

Glen Casey said...

I will hold Ichiro and dump Wells, but Ichiro has more value on the market for other teams.

Tom Loughlin said...

Ichiro has more value to any team. He still hits, runs and plays defense better than Wells.

Teena/Bronx said...

Lets get Tanaka.

will-i-am said...

TANAKA>>>>TANAKA>>>>>TANAKA

Barry West said...

The stat frauds may like guys like Cano. But when you don't play the game to win as a team you aren't worth having on the team. You made your bed, now sleep in it Robbie.

Linda Pardo said...

Regarding Tanaka. If WIN METHOD told the Yankees he is a go, I am sure they will do everything possible to get him. Will we see.

Anonymous said...

I love the WIN METHOD.

RLA said...

Between Nunez, Ryan, and Johnson we should have our 2b and 3b options. Also a trade may be forth coming.

johnny said...

Go Yankees

johnsondc said...

Hi johnny, how are you doing?

bigbadwolf said...

It looks like the Yankees want to keep Gardner and trade Ichiro.
Trading Ichiro may be the prelude to obtaining Tanaka.

sid greenberg,nyc said...

Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Teena/Bronx said...

Far to many skeptic and haters don't know Derek Jeter. Jetes will have a brilliant year in 2014 helping lead the Yankees to the playoffs again.

Willaim Mensom said...

Let me be the first. Merry Christmas everybody.

Nick Holt said...

New here, best baseball incite I have ever come across.

Barry West said...

Best wishes to all this Holiday Season.

Izzy Hernandez said...

Feliz Navidad

Cory said...

Merry Christmas and the best of the holiday season to all.

Gus Papa said...

I'm glad Cano is gone. He fell into the Afraud mod of me play, lackadaisical play, little hustle, and pay me pay me. another cancer gone.

Linda Roce said...

Merry Christmas

Pierre Jadot said...

Merry Christmas.

Tony Kanchu said...

No no Cano. Hope you like the garbage of Seattle.

Vinny Ferrero said...

This from the Yankees. """"Yankees say they gave Cano respect, just not the $200 million-plus he wanted.""""

Victor Grandozi said...

Merry Christmas fans. Sorry Afraud, you get coal in your stocking.

YankeeMike said...

Everyone get what you wish for this Christmas season. And a very happy and healthy New Year to all.

Matt Hargrove said...

I rather use in house players for 2nd and 3rd base.

Wayne Littlebear said...

Merry Christmas.

Teena/Bronx said...

Let its snow let it snow let it snow.
Blizzard in the Bronx. Merry Christmas to all.

Izzy Hernandez said...

Feliz Navidad...

Xavier Longden said...

Best wishes for all this Christmas season and a Happy New Year to all.

Yankeeforever said...

Got your shopping done? Merry Christmas everyone.

Robert Mandell said...

With Cano gone we lost one play for yourself bats, and then added three play for the team bats with Beltran, Ellsbury, and McCann. I call that a big win for the Yankees.

George W said...

Happy holiday season and a happy new year to all.

Nick Holt said...

Merry Christmas.

Hans Wagner said...

Merry Christmas.

RLA said...

Even if the Yankees set the bar low at second and third, with low being relative and in the eye of the beholder, they will still have seven solid bats in the lineup no matter how you cut it.

Eddie OConnor said...

Who has been naughty or nice. Merry Christmas.

Fred Slube said...

Merry Christmas baseball fans.

Lou Lis said...

Seasons greetings.

Benny Pake said...

Holiday wishes and greetings to all.

Anonymous said...

Santa Claus is coming to town. Merry Christmas.

Erica Johnston said...

Seasons Greetings to one and all baseball fans.

Merry Christmas to all WIN METHOD fans and especially to WIN METHOD himself for all has done to make the Yankees the best of the best.
