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.
Well said WIN METHOD. Lets roll.
ReplyDeleteLets roll and make this season one to remember.
ReplyDeleteLike we Yankee fans proudly boast (while nonYankee fans viciously deny) something happens to a ball player when they don the pinstripes. Pride overwhelms their natural ability and they become just a little better.
ReplyDeletePride and tradition has powered this uneven, quirky yet exciting season for our beloved Yankees.
More proud this season to be Yankee fan than I have in a long time
Hi WIN METHOD, Lets roll, love ya.
ReplyDeleteProud to be a Yankee. Lets roll. Lets get it done.
ReplyDeleteThe Captain is back and he leads by example, be it a another great defensive play, a bunt, moving a runner, a hit, or must plain determination and pride.
ReplyDeleteLets roll for the month of September.

ReplyDeleteWe won the series but should have swept.
ReplyDeleteLets roll and sweep the White sox.
ReplyDeleteSad to say winning 2 of 3 games the rest of the way may not be good enough to make the playoffs.
ReplyDeleteJust have to keep plugging along and not give up.
ReplyDeleteWe just have to do the best we can, and as WIN METHOD has said we all should be proud of the effort and results this team has accomplished this season considering the hardships we encountered.
ReplyDeleteLets go Yankees.
ReplyDeleteSeven games. Sweep all the sox and sux.
ReplyDeleteThe Captain gives Yankees 1-0 lead with another hit when it counts.
ReplyDeleteRain delay. Looks like it will be awhile.
ReplyDelete22 more to go.
ReplyDeleteThe rains came at the right time. ohno Hughes gets pulled and Huff pitches great and earns the win.
ReplyDeleteJust what we needed and easy win with the bullpen mainstays getting a day off.
ReplyDeleteWins are gold, other stats fools gold.
ReplyDeleteContinue the wins, they are only what determines the best.
ReplyDeleteNow we need Kuroda to forget about August and pitch like he did the rest of the year. WIN Hiroki, WIN.
ReplyDeleteThe season is on the line Hiroki, not the time to pack it in. Suck it up and win out.
ReplyDeletegood comeback win yesterday after a tough to swallow loss Monday. time for your to rebound also Kuroda.
ReplyDeleteKeep playing consistent goodd WIN METHOD baseball. Win as a team..everyone contributes.

ReplyDeleteWhat a season. Very exciting.
ReplyDeleteNova gets the game one start tomorrow. Do it again Ivan.
ReplyDeleteContinue to win. If Nova follows up with a game like his last one, we will win tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe negative last night was Robertsons effort. His failure created the need to use Rivera the game before a big four games series with the Redsox.
ReplyDeleteHughes sill be another arm in the bullpen and should help with a solid inning or two.
ReplyDeleteThis is a big series and I will be very happy with 3 of the 4 games.
ReplyDeleteKeep looking forward guys. One game at a time. Wins.
ReplyDeleteIt will be an exciting weekend. Hope it is a winning one for the Yankees.
ReplyDeleteAs the season draws to an end each game and win or loss could mean the playoffs or not.
ReplyDeleteDo it again Ivan. Shut them out.
ReplyDeleteStart this series off with a win. Go Yankees.
ReplyDeleteIs everybody ready for Yankee baseball and a Yankee win.
ReplyDeleteGame time. Lets roll. Lets rock them.
ReplyDeleteWhat I like is the sux scoring 20 runs last night. They could be swung out and tired of running around the bases.
ReplyDeleteYep those wasted meaningless stats probably made the fantasy stat frauds hearts go pitipat-pitipat.
ReplyDeleteNo score after one.
ReplyDelete0-0 after 2.
ReplyDelete0-0 after 2.

ReplyDeleteYanks down 3-2 after 4.

ReplyDeleteAfraud the sieve at 3b costs Yankees 3 runs in 5ht as sux take 6-2 lead.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 6-2 after 5.
ReplyDeleteWith men on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out, Afraud strikes out again and doesn't bring in the game tying run. Pure garbage and cheating garbage at that.
ReplyDeleteOverbay delivers with 2 out and Yanks score 6 times for a 8-7 lead after 7.
ReplyDelete8-7 Yanks after 7.
ReplyDeleteAfraud sucks and it isn't over yet. The sux are like us, they don't give up.
ReplyDeleteTypical sux-Yankee game. Hold on guys, hold on.
ReplyDeleteRobertson not fooling around tonight. Strikes out the first two sux in the 8th. Gets 3rd out on grounder to Jetes.
ReplyDeleteYes, a 1,2,3 8th for DRob. Lets get an insurance run.
ReplyDeleteRivera in for the 9th.
ReplyDeleteDo it Mo.
ReplyDeleteAfter 2 outs Mo gives up single, stolen base and game tying single. 8-8.
ReplyDeletesux tie it 8-8. Can we win it in the 9th.
ReplyDelete8-8 after 9.
ReplyDeleteExtra innings. Nerve racking to say the least.
ReplyDeleteJoba in for the 10th.
ReplyDeleteJoba has little. We need to get lucky.
ReplyDeleteJoba gives up a run and sux still batting. Three batters, three hard line drives. Joba will be gone, he's done.
ReplyDeleteDo we have another come back in us.
ReplyDeleteAfraud caught flat footed and doesn't cover third on steal.
ReplyDeletesux up 9-8 as Yanks come to bat in 10th.
ReplyDeleteLets roll. Come on guys.
ReplyDeleteAfraud leads off. Afraud pops up. Useless.
ReplyDeleteOverbay with a solid at bat, fouling off pitches. 11th pitch strikes out.
ReplyDeleteIf we lose se need Rays to lose so not to lose any ground.
ReplyDeleteIchiro up with 2 out. Ichiro strikes out.
ReplyDeleteFinal, Yanks lose 9-8 in 10.
ReplyDeleteTough loss. Andy tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteBetter luck tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI watched last night from start to finish, had my ups and downs, and then couldn't fall asleep. Heck it's great being a Yankee fan.
ReplyDeleteCan Pettitte do it again and keep us alive with a win tonight.
ReplyDeleteAt least the Angels lost last night, but he could've. should've gained a game.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Joba has got to go.
Tough tough loss. Having to use Mo for 4 outs the night before may have made the difference last night.
ReplyDeleteCome on guys, we need the win. Don't back off.
ReplyDeleteJeter walk Soriano HR give Yanks 2-0 lead after 1.
ReplyDeleteYanks lead 4-1 after 2.
ReplyDelete6-2 Yanks after 4.
ReplyDeletePettitte gives up HR in 5th. Yanks lead 6-3 and batting in 5th.
ReplyDelete8-3 Yanks after 5.
ReplyDelete8=3 Yanks after 6. Pettitte did what was needed. ohno Hughes coming in for the 7th.
ReplyDeleteohno is a disaster and gets no help from the sieve Afraud. 1 run in bases loaded and 1 out. ohno is pulled and Logan in to face Ortiz in a big spot.
ReplyDeleteCome on Booney we need this game.
ReplyDeleteLogan strikes out Ortiz for 2nd out.
ReplyDeleteNapoli up. We still need an out.
ReplyDeleteNapoli with a grand slam tying game at 8.
ReplyDeleteohno Hughes has to go along with Joba.
ReplyDelete8-8 with us coming to bat in the 7th. Wow another crazy game.
ReplyDeleteClaiborne gets banged for 2 run HR in 8th. sux take 10-8 lead.
ReplyDeleteJoba relieves Claiborne and gives u p 2 more runs. sux up 12-8. Another nightmare.
ReplyDeleteI can't take this anymore. I'm getting sick.
ReplyDelete8 done. 12-8 sux.
ReplyDeleteWe went from an 8-3 lead after 6 to a 12-8 deficit after 8. Pen gave up 9 runs in 2 innings.
ReplyDeleteOK, we get to play tomorrow again.
ReplyDeleteDaley, newest Yankee on mound for the 9th. He is the 53rd player to play for the Yankees this season, an all time record. Daley pitches a scoreless 9th.
ReplyDeleteI replayed several times the slow roller Pedroia got scored a hit on that Afraud didn't handle. It very likely was the turning point in the game. Napoli would never have come to the plate as things happened. Replaying it, I do not think there is another third baseman in baseball who wouldn't have gotten the out at first and very well saved the game. Afraud is a disaster and is killing this team.
ReplyDeleteThe Rays lost night, so we are still 2.5 behind them but a couple of teams jumped yes by a half game. It ain't over and may go down to the last game of the season.
ReplyDeleteWe do need to win and get going. The sux seem to be on fire now and hitting on all cylinders. Will they be able to hold it together for the playoffs.
ReplyDeleteHuff gets a big time test this afternoon. If he is better than ohno Hughes we are ahead of the game.
ReplyDeletesux lead 5-2 after 3. Huff may not be the answer.
ReplyDeletesux with 5 in 4th for a 10-2 lead. Wow, the are sizzling.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 12-7 after 6. At least they haven't thrown in the towel.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 12-7 after 7.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 12-9 after 8. Never give up.
ReplyDeleteYanks lose 13-9. You much more help can we expect.
ReplyDeleteScore 9 runs and never really in the game.
ReplyDeleteKuroda tomorrow to break the skid.
ReplyDeleteJust like us the Rays lost again last night. We are getting more help than we deserve. It is on us.
ReplyDeletebosux bats have to cool off sometime. Can Kuroda do it today.
ReplyDeleteStill 2.5 out of wild card, but 3 teams in front of us. We have got to win games.
ReplyDeleteAt least some of the bullpen stalwarts will be ready for today.
ReplyDeletewin today win.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 1-0 after 2.
ReplyDeleteYanks up 3-1 after 5. Kuroda starting the 6th inning at 105 pitches.
ReplyDeleteKuroda finishes 6th and leaves with Yanks up 3-2 after 6.

ReplyDeleteRivera in for the 8th looking for a 2 inning save.
ReplyDeleteMo gets thru the 8th and the Yanks lead 3-2. Get a run guys.
ReplyDeleteNothing in the 8th and Yanks lead 3-2. Mo needs 3 more outs.
ReplyDeleteI'll leave the words to others. Yankees win 4-3.
ReplyDeleteRivera blows the save with one bad pitch in two innings, but earns win as the Yankees scratch a run in the 9th for the 4-3 win.
ReplyDelete19 wins to go.
ReplyDeleteNow on to Baltimore. Still alive and CC starts tonight.
ReplyDeleteWins and only wins will determine who goes to the second season. Go CC, go Yankees.
ReplyDeleteWe can do it, we can do it, we can do it, yes we can.
ReplyDeleteCC has to be the old dominant CC to help us to the playoffs. Jeter ankle rested and should be back tonight.

ReplyDeleteGo Yankees, get it done.
ReplyDelete1-1 after 3.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 3-1 after 5. Yank bats silent,
ReplyDeleteYanks lose 4-2.
ReplyDeleteGranderson flies out to centerfield wall as tying run for the final out in 9th. Yanks go down 4-2.
ReplyDeleteNova on tap tonight to even series. We need wins.
ReplyDeleteWe need to hit a little more. With Jeter out, that does not help.
ReplyDeleteCome on Ivan, we need the win very much.
ReplyDeleteOne final push to close out the season. Do it or go home and watch.
ReplyDeleteIf we run the table we make the playoffs. IF
ReplyDeleteIt's now or never guys. Nothing but wins.
