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!

Kelly and Yanks blow it in 9th for a 3-2 loss.
What a downer. Just can't afford to lose games like todays.
This loss hurts.
Yes, a game we could've won. Not really anyones fault, just didn't get that extra run.
We have to recoup with a sweeeeep.
Pound the heck out of Price one game and the next can't hit a career minor leaguer.
Just have to bounce back, again.
Have to win tonight.
Capuano hasn't won a game since becoming a Yankee, tonight he does.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Pineda starts todays game in 13 hours.
Lets go Yankees. Win again today.
Put up goose eggs Pineda.
Score early and often. Lets go Yankees.
I love a saturday afternoon game. Just have to win it.
Lets go Yankees, lets go. Prove the naysayers to be the idiots they are.
Spent the last hour perusing a couple of baseball talk forums. Loaded with ignorant stat frauds and their comments make me want to puke. Thank God for the great Yankee blog.
Yanks down 2-0 after 2.
Yanks down 2-0 after 4 as Prado flies out with bases loaded in 4th.
Still down 2-0 after 6. The bats are silent. 3 mor chances.
Our offense today. One hit, one walk, two batters hit by pitch through 8 innings. One more inning or bust.
Yanks go down haplessly. Another horrid defeat.
A downer game. Yuck, yuck, yuck!
Hold onto the positive, Pineda was solid again.
Tomorrows game comes very close to being a must win.
We can still take the series tomorrow. Keep moving forward.
McCarthy this afternoon for a much needed win.
Lets go guys, we need to win every game.
McCarthy had a poor outing last game, needs to come back with a quality one today and earn the win.
We will have a chance to win if we can score some runs.
Give us a gem McCarthy, we need one.
3-0 Yanks after 5.
McCarthy gives up back to back HRs in 6th. Yanks lead 3-2 after 6. Again, nothing is easy.
McCarthy gives up two more runs in 7th and Yankees now trail 4-3 after 7.
I think Betances should have started the 7th. I hate second guessing but with an off day tomorrow he could easily have gone two innings today if needed.
One of worst losses of the year.
Final 4-3 loss. Another heartbreaker;
The curtain is dropping, sad to say, but it isn't over yet.
Today was a mess and should never have happened the way it did.
Off day. I can't ever remember the Yankees not having a scheduled game on Labor Day.
I agree William, I can't ever the Yankees not having a game on a Labor Day.
It's strange not having a game today.
September...20 wins could get us to the playoffs.
Greene gets the start tonight. OK Raul, let the countdown begin.
We have 27 games left played in 8 series. We play the Orioles 8 times.
A tall order to win 20 of 27 especially with our track record so far this season.
Yankees quickly down 2-0 in first inning.
Yanks being pounded. Down 6-0 in third.
Yanks down 7-2 after 5.
A 9-4 loss and things are looking real bad.
Miracles can happen, and we need one.
The little engine that could.
Kuroda tonight for a very much needed win.
Lets go Yankees.
Yanks up 2-0 after 3.
Yanks lead 3-0 after 5.
3-0 Yanks after 5, we need this game, we need all games.
Kuroda thru 7, just 1 run. Yanks lead 3-1 coming up in 7th.
5-1 Yanks after 7.
Theeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnn.
Game over 5-1 win.
Series even, Yanks win 5-1.
Final 5-1 Yanks.
19 more wins to go.
Yes we can.
Capuano goes in the rubber game tonight. Win.
Kuroda was real sharp last night. It just goes to show how pitchers can be so different from one game to another.
It is amazing that after all the BS from the stat fraud crowd that who goes to the playoffs, (players and teams), it all comes down to wins. No stat of any kind for any player or team has the value of wins.
Lets finish with a bang and take it to the end.
Big win tonight guys, big win.
Whitewash the sux.
Yankees down 1-0 after 2.
Jeters career being celebrated and honored at the stadium this Sunday September 7th. I'll be there. The kings career is coming to closure.
So in the 3rd inning tonight with the Yankees down 3-0 Jeter carrying the Yankees on his back hits a booming 2 RBI double off the centerfield wall and then scores on a single to tie the game 3-3.
The best there is.
Yanks down 4-3 after 5.
Yanks down 4-3 after 7. This is the way we have been playing all year.
Walk off win in 9th 5-4.
Theeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnn.
Jeter led Yankees come from behind twice for a 5-4 win and series win.
18 more wins to go.
Never give up.
One heck of a win. Hope it gives the guys big time momentum.
Good win yesterday, a sweep this weekend would be big.
KC in for three games. We are going with Pineda, McCarthy, Greene.
Score some runs for Pineda and we can get off on the right foot tonight.
Lets take KC down a notch or two.
Yanks down 1-0 after 3.
Yanks down 1-0 after 6. Can't win without scoring.
Yanks down 1-0 after 8.
The bats look horrible tonight.
Jeter with a big hit gives the yanks a chance in the 9th but Gardner and Beltran can't deliver when it counts and Yanks go down 1-0.
Final yanks lose 1-0.
Headley error loses game 1-0.
Your starter gives up one run and the bullpen gives up nothing and you still can't win. The problem is the batters. If you can;t hit to all fields you should not be allowed to play. If you are unwilling or can't push a bunt or slap a ball to the opposite side when there is an exaggerated shift on you, you shouldn't be allowed to play. And if the manager continues to allow this to happen, he shouldn't be the manager.
You hit the nail on the head William. Last nights game defined this season.
We have lost far to many close games and most of those were because non performance WHEN it would mattered and meant the game. So un-win method.
Great comments guys.
Magnificent post William.
McCarthy this afternoon and maybe the hitters can get him some runs. And I agree with your post William.
Individual talent that does not produce when it counts to win games is not talent that a team should want.
At 40 years of age Jeter is doing far more than most of the position players on this team and he is a icon for the way baseball should be played. All hail the greatest player for the past twenty years. Thanks for the memories Derek.
This season isn't over yet, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some major changes for next year and one hell of a great season.
After nothing yesterday Yankees score in first inning today.
Jeter still trying to carry Yankees to playoffs with another big RBI today to put Yankees in front in 3rd inning.
Yanks lead 3-1 after 3. Jetes with another RBI.
Yank bats are alive today. A day to late. Meaningless extra runs today and a wasted game yesterday.
6-1 Yankees after 5.
Ballgame over Yanks win 6-2.
Final. Yanks win 6-2.
It ain't over yet. Lets go Yankees.
All hail the Captain. Derek Jeter the best of the best and the best baseball has to offer.
Shane Greene today for the series after Derek Jeter gets his just honors.
Congratulations Derek.
Thank you Jetes.
Great career Derek. Oh so many WINS.
Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek
It's Derek Jeter time. Hail Jeter.
Oh Captain, my Captain. Derek Jeter. Have a great day.
Lets celebrate Jeters day with what he would want most, a WIN.
Thank you Derek, you will be missed.
Number one in baseball, number one in my heart.
Jetes you are the greatest. Good luck in your future endeavors.
Derek Jeter the winningest player in baseball for the past 20 years.
Lets win today for Derek Jeter Day.
Lets go Yankees, lets go Jeter.

Class, character, charisma. DEREK JETER
Jeter ranges far to his left to field grounder on first base side of second base to save base hit and run in first inning. The best ranging shortstop in baseball.
Jeter with a single on his day in first inning. And then with great base running reaches 2nd on ground ball that should have been a double play.
NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter remained as cool and collected as his play at shortstop over the past two decades when the New York Yankees honored their retiring captain Sunday with a 45-minute ceremony that included appearances by NBA great Michael Jordan and baseball ironman Cal Ripken Jr.
Jeter thanked people a dozen times as he spoke to a capacity crowd at Yankee Stadium for about 3 minutes before Sunday's game against Kansas City.
Yanks down 2-0 after 3 because of errors.
Yanks down 2-0 after 5.
Come on guys, don't stink it up on Jeters day.
Yankees lose 2-0.
The Yankees fail Jeter, again unable to score a run and lose 2-0 on Derek Jeter Day. The playoffs are just about gone.
Here's to you Captain Derek Jeter, the best player for the past twenty years. As I raise a glass of beer.
What a sad day again. No bats again and our 40 ear old leader is able to get a hit and a walk.
Can we win out?
Love ya Derek and love ya to WIN METHOD.
Here is something that defines the WIN METHOD and destroys the stat frauds theories of deceit and deception....The Yankees and Royals just played a three game series. For the three games the Yankees scored 6 runs and the Royals scored five. the difference the Yankees did not produce when it would have mattered most in 2 of the 3 games but did produce in 1 of the games. Result being the Yankees scored more runs but lost 2 of the 3 games. And wins is what determines the best again proving nothing else matters.
KC manager yesterday in interview after game was asked why his team is winning and doing so well. He stated that his team despite all the very low statistics both as a team and individually, the guys were producing WHEN it mattered most and thus winning games.
Yes the WIN METHOD is the answer and is the best tool in baseball.
Only the idiots of the sports world would not accept that wins and winning determine the best players and teams.
Thank God for the WIN METHOD.
Just say no to stat frauds.
Some real fantastic observations and opinions from many posters lately. I tend to agree with almost all. I love this blog.
Nothing but wins.
I haven't seen a stat fraud in a ling time. They are made fools of here so they stick with their own sites where fools of a feather flock together.
Kuroda tonight. We need to win out for the next three weeks.
Kuroda tonight. We need to win out for the next three weeks.
I'm in, lets win out.
no score after one
Three innings and not one Yankee hit and losing 3-0.
Yanks down 4-3 after 5.
Yanks trailing 4-3 thru 7.
Another one run loss.
Final, Yanks lose 4-3.
What a year. We do just enough to lose so many times.
I think we are done. Without the bullpen we have we would struggle to be a .400 team.
Unbelievable season of injuries and under performers. Then look at all the positives Jeter, Robertson, Tanaka, Betances, Greene, Kelly, Warren, Gardner, Elsbury. We will be better next season.
Slowly ending the 2014 season.
Yankees quickly down 4-1 after 2.
Yanks down 4-3 after 3.
Yanks cut Ray lead to 4-3 with 2 in 3rd, but Ichiro makes 3rd out with bases loaded.
4-4 after 4.
Yanks come all the way back from down 4-0 to a 6-4 lead after 5.
6-4 Yanks after 7.
8 runs. WOW! 8-4 Yankees thru 8.
Yankees 8-4 after 8.
Theeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnn.
Final 8-5 Yanks
No more losses.
If we only played and hit like last night in more games this season.
Still have to win them all.
Winnnnnnnnnnnn Outtttttttttttttttttt.
When we score we win.
Last time out we scored no, nada, zilch, none, 0 runs for Pineda.
I.m glad Pineda is back and getting inning. It will help him for next year.
