It has arrived. YANKEE opening day game for the 2014 season. This will be an epic season. Derek Jeter, the last member of the 'Core Four', will play his final season for the YANKEES. Jeter who has been the best player in Major League Baseball over the past twenty years, winning more games, appearing in more playoffs, winning more pennants and winning more World Series than any player has announced his retirement. Jeter whose brilliant defense solidifying the middle of the YANKEE infield with far ranging defense, making countless plays look routine, and also making plays in the biggest events that no other shortstop in baseball could make but could only dream of, will play his last season at shortstop. Jeters retirement will be celebrated by every team in every ballpark he visits throughout the season. Jeter, who has been the most positive face of Major League Baseball during his career deserves every accolade he gets, why, because he earned it on the field with WINS. And winning and wins has and always will be the determining factor in the greatest players of any era. Derek Jeter has been the best baseball has had to offer for the past twenty years.
After last seasons injury plagued year where so many YANKEE players had so many injuries with so many games not played, the YANKEES hung on to a playoff run right up to the last week of the season and still posted a winning record for the season. The YANKEE players set the record for game time lost by players for any one season in baseball history. Over the winter, the YANKEES were active in rebuilding the team. The injured are healthy again, the YANKEES signed several solid WIN METHOD players who wanted to wear the YANKEE uniform and now will get a chance to prove what it means to be a YANKEE.
The WIN METHOD looks for the YANKEES to win at least 93 games this season and that is minimum, but the sky is the limit and 100+ games is not impossible. Captain Derek Jeter will lead his team to the playoffs and the new crop of YANKEES will follow the leader to the playoffs.
The YANKEE outfield is solid and deep. The infield anchored by Jeter and Teixeira at shortstop and first base and the addition of Brian Roberts at second base and Kelly Johnson at third base will be brilliant defensively and more than adequate offensively. Catcher Brian McCann is a major upgrade behind the plate. The pitching staff, starting with the starting rotation is second to none in baseball, and the bullpen will be more than adequate. There is no question that the retirement of Mariano Rivera leaves a hole, but hopefully David Robertson who has been groomed to fill Mo's closing spot will not let the team down. Another great factor in making this 2014 YANKEE team better is the banishment from baseball of one of the biggest liars and cheats in baseball being gone. The distraction of afraud is gone for 2014.
Don't forget WIN METHOD fans, every player on the team helps in their own way, forget individual stats, it is wins that will determine who goes to the playoffs and all we want to do is win. So, lets get ready for the comeback ride of the 2014 season. LETS GO YANKEES!

Lets go Yankees, lets go.
Time for a win.
Rained out tonight.
The rain out game has been rescheduled for Friday Sept 12 at 1pm and will be first half of a day night double header.
Yankees skipping Greenes turn and will go with Pineda tonight.
i wonder if a big effort and win from Pineda tonight can breathe some life into the yankees.
The comeback has to start somewhere and tonight is as good a time as any.
Know is the time for a big move.
I don't know if it is the new faces and or the guys just not jelling, but there has been a very distinct lack of production WHEN it counts and that has meant the lass of many games that easily could have been won. And wins are the only stat that determines the best.
There is still time to win it all.
Come back healthy and strong Pineda.
Scoreless after two.
Yankees lead 2-0 after 4.
Yanks up 2-1 after 5.
Pineda only allowed to go 5 innings. Leaves with a 2-1 lead.
Betances in for the 6th and puts up a goose egg. 2-1 Yanks after 6.
2-1 Yanks after 7.
Kelly cracks in the 8th and Yanks down 5-2 after 8. Very bad.
Game over, Yanks lose 5-3.
Another horrible defeat.
The 'fat lady' is warning up.
Pineda was a positive last night. The loss was a negative. Off day today. Starting Friday we turn into the homestretch and if we have anything in the tank we have to let it all out.
Stay positive Yankee fans, it is always darkest before the dawn.
The lineup has killed us all year. Every once in awhile a short hot streak, but basically not WIN METHOD for most of the season.
Now or never. 43 games left and if we win 2 of every 3 we can make the playoffs.
Right on jimbo. We can start tonight.
Unless the bats come alive for the next six weeks we aren't going to make the playoffs. NcCann should be back and all systems go.
Even though the Yankees lost their last game to the O's, maybe Pinedas' performance could be a boost to the team.
WINS is all it takes. WINS.
McCarthy starts tonight. Lets go Yankees.
How about 45 days of everyone getting hot at the same time.
Everybody hits, lets go.
Yankees quickly down 2-0 after 2.
Yanks down 2-0 after 4.
Yanks down 4-0 after 7.
Final 5-0 loss.
Oh well. No runs = no wins.
Yankees lose and shutout 5-0.
It hurt to watch last nights game.
Come on guys, don't be lambs.
Another chance today and we are running out of chances.
Maybe we can score some runs for our pitchers and win some games. The lineup has been atrocious.
Greene goes today. Will he be supported?
Game time. Do for a win.

Yankee defense without Jeter on the field gives up sloppy tying run in 7th. 2-2.
2-2 after 8.
Can the Yankees score another run and then make it stand up?
Derek Jeter the best MLB baseball player over the past 20 years with a ninth inning RBI to put the Yanks in front. Now to hold it.
Robertson in to try to save it.
Lets go Yankees.
Final 3-2 Yankees.
1,2,3 for DRob. A win.
Not much from the lineup, but more great pitching wins another.
Captain clutch lives on. We can only hope Jeters game winning hit is the catalyst that propels this team to the playoffs.
Step up guys, step up. Don't quit.
Still the best with a big hit WHEN it counted.
Another win this afternoon and we take a small step toward the playoffs.
Jeter may need to carry this team for the rest of the season.
Break out the lumber guys and roll.
Kuroda this afternoon. Run support, it takes a team to succeed and be the best. Not individual stats.
Runs make winning easier. We have been doing it the hard way all year.
Yankees down 1-0 after 3. The bats are resting.
3-1 Yankees after 5.
Kuroda very sharp thru 6 as Yankees lead 3-1.
Yankees lead 3-2 after 7.
Betances with another hold and Robertson with another save. Yankees win 4-2.
Theeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeees Wonnnn.
Final Yankees win 4-2.
Not many hits, not many runs but enough. One series and 2of 3. Do that for the rest of the season.
Off day today. Day of rest. Time to reset priorities. Wins, wins, and more wins. No other stat determines the best.
Been a very long time. No stat frauds here since they were embarrassed trying to defend their lies, distortions and mis-information.
Think positive then win.
Stat frauds errantly believe that whatever an individuals stats are, a player will produce those stats no matter what team and in whatever ballpark he plays. That is factually not true. But then again, stat frauds do not believe the reality that wins determine the best.
I bet we can name hundreds upon hundreds of players who have moved between teams and their individual stats changed far more than reasonable.
Great points people. It is all about wins.
A sweep would be very nice this coming series.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Capuano starts the series tonight.
The stat frauds always have an excuse for defending their losers. It is always the other players fault.
We have to score runs consistently to help our pitchers.
Lets go Yankees.
Lets score early and get a comfortable win for a change of pace.
Scoreless after two.

Just another of our nail biting games.

4-4 after 8.
Come on guys we need this game. We need every game.
Robertson in for the 9th and implodes allowing 3 runs. Not good. Can we pull a rabbit out of a hat.
No no no 7-4 loss.
Final 7-4 loss.
Man are we shooting ourselves in the foot or what.
Last night was a train wreck.
We must now win tonight and tomorrow.
Pineda gets the start tonight after a week off. Bringing him back cautiously.
Every loss is a nail in the coffin. We have to eliminate the nails.
It would be nice to see Pineda ge free from injury and see just how well he is able to be.
Pineda to the rescue?
i see the stat frauds still have their head buried in the sand of ignorance.
Lets go guys, we are running out of excuses.
No score after 1. Same old stuff after Jetes and Elsbury single then Tex and McCann K and popup.
0-0 thru 3.
1-1 after 4.
Yanks pound out a run on a RBI bunt single with two out for a 2-1 lead after 5.
KABOOM!!!!!!That was Huff and Rogers blowing up in the 7th in relief of Pineda allowing 4 runs. Yankees down 5-2 after 7.
Elsbury Ks in the 7th with men on 2nd and 3rd unable to deliver a hit WHEN it would have mattered big time.
Yanks go down 5-2.
5-2 loss. Another nail in the coffin.
Elsbury leaves 2 on again in the 9th making the final out.

3-0 Yankees after 2.
Still 3-0 after 4.
McCarthy throwing goose eggs thru six.
3-0 Yanks in the 7th.

I guess McCarthy figures he has to pitch the shutout to win.
McCarthy throws a gem for a 3-0 win. OK staff, pitch a shutout and we will win.
It's a win and I'll take it.
We still didn't score much. Three runs in one decent inning. ThaT was it.
Three game weekend series with the Pale Hose
Shane Greene will start tonights first game against the White Sox.
We need a sweep of this series to make up for losing the last one.
Greene going tonight. If he pitches a shutout he can't lose.
Nothing is going to change unless we start scoring more runs.
One game at a time.. Timely hitting WHEN it counts has been what is killing this team. We just don't get the big hit often enough and yet we are still very competitive.
I haven't given up on this year, but I am really looking forward to next year.
Lets score, lets win.
Yankees quickly down 3-0 after one.
Yanks down 3-2 after 3.

Final 4-3 Yankee win.
Typical nail biter. Best, a win.
Still not many runs from the lineup and several chances missed WHEN it would have mattered but did get the big WHEN it counted hit in the 9th.
All season we don't score many runs. The pitching has been exemplary.
Have to win every game.
Kuroda with a 'different' lineup look tries to keep us moving forward this afternoon.
That is an interesting lineup. Trying to shake (wake) up McCann by hitting him in the three hole?
When you see other guys fill in for Jeter at short and see them make errors on balls Jeter gets to and eats up, you realize just how great Jeters defense is.
1-1 after 2.
1-1 after 3.
Prado again WHEN it couts for a 3-1 Yankee lead after 4.
Final 5-3 Yankee win.
We won this series, but a sweep tomorrow would be real real big.
We need every game. Lets go Yankees.
You have to give Kuroda credit, he really tries to hang tough,
Capuano has to face Sale tomorrow and the Yankee task will be formidable.
Good news from the Tanaka front yesterday.
Today won't be easy, but then again the whole season hasn't been easy.
Lets do it. We ain't done yet.
What a great win for a sweep. Lets keep moving forward.
Theeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeees Winnn.
On the road for a tough trip. Keep winnings, keep surprising.
