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!

Still breathing.
Day night double header today. McCarthy in game one this afternoon and Mitchell tonight.
Take two.

No score after two.
Scoreless after 6.
This is the way we play. 0-0 after 9.
Young HR in 11th not enough as Warren blows it for another devastating heart breaking loss 2-1.
Another season defining loss.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
If I look forward to next year it makes this season somewhat tolerable.
Game two. No score after three.
Yanks down 2-0 after 5.
Yanks down 4-0 after 7.
OK 18 innings played so far today and 1 run scored. A recipe for disaster.
OK we went to Baltimore yesterday and played a double header. Played 2o innings, scored 1 run and for all intents and purposes ended any hope of making the playoffs this season.
I'll say it. Wait till next year.
Shane Greene in this afternoons game.
Win all the rest and lets see what happens.
Lets go down fighting. Play baseball.
Rain delay in Baltimore.
3-1 Yankees through 5.

Robertson saves it. 3-2 win
Theeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnn.
Same old down to the last pitch nail biting win by the Yanks. 3-2.
Greene looks like a keeper and rotation man for next year. He's young and he is ours.
Pitching has carried this team all season.
Lets win tomorrows game and move forward.
Kuroda tonight in the hated espn 8PM game tonight.
Considering everything that has happened this season, to be alive at this point in the season for a playoff spot is amazing.
Go Yankees.
A question for any and all stat frauds. What is the only thing that determines which baseball teams go to the playoffs each season?
Don't ever expect a stat fraud come here and try to defend their position. They have been made fools of time and again.
0-0 after 1.
Yanks lead 1-0 after 4. Another one of those games.
You got one run Kuroda. Now it's up to you to make it stand.
1-1 after 6.
1-1 after 7. Wonder if Kuroda will come out in the 8th.
Betances in for the 8th. 1,2,3 inning. 1-1 after 8. Kuroda gave up 1 run and gave up his chance to win.
McCann HR gives Yankees 2-1 lead in the 9th. Robertson in to try to save game.
Robertson blows save on first two batters and is on verge of a loss.
All season, the same BS.
Game over Yanks lose 3-2.
Sad to say I am getting use to this loss after loss on games we should easily win.
Tough rotten loss last night, AGAIN. But remember WIN METHOD fans, second guessing is for losers.
This weekend in Baltimore was our season in a capsule.
Lets all look at the positives of this season, and transcend them into next season. Starting pitching decimated with injuries giving guys like McCarthy and Greene etal opportunities to excel. The depth of the bullpen. The very poor play of guys who should do better. This team will be a major force to deal with next season.
I'm still rooting for this year.
0-0 after 3.
0-0 after 5.
No score after 6. Watching these games is like reliving ground hog day.
Warren in for the 7th. 1,2,3. 0-0 after 7.
Still scoreless after 7.
0-0 after 8.
0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0
How many times have we said that this season.
Again, 1-0 loss as Kelley loses it in the 9th.
Final 1-0 loss.
Unbelievable, you can't make this stuff up.
This surely is "A season to remember".
If you like pitching and like low scoring games, the Yankees are the team for you.
In our last five games we have given up just 13 runs, but worse have scored just 6.
The lineup has been very very sad.
Will the Yankees be able to score a run tonight?
Runs, my kingdom for runs.
Lets go Yankees.
We got a run, we goy a run. 1-0 Yankees after 2.
Ryan error gives Rays unearned run. 1-1 after 5. Ryan is the model used by all time stat fraud Bill James compared to Jeter on defense. Bill James is the stat fraud God of fools.
Yanks down 6-1 after 7. It is over for the playoffs.
Yanks down 6-1 after 7.
Final. 6-1 loss.
It is going to be a long wait till next year.
I'll be rooting for the Orioles in the playoffs.
Now it's a question if we can hold at least a .500 season.

How many games have we played this season that were either won or lost in the teams last at bats?
Kuroda goes tonight. Lets keep playing baseball to win.
Yanks up 5-3 after 5.
Yankees win it 5-3. Kuroda the win, Warren the save, Jeter 2 more hits and brilliant defense.
Good win last night and a couple of fine relief innings from Adam Warren giving the big guys in the bullpen a day off,

Yankees up 2-1 after 6.
2-1 Yanks after 6. Warren with two big out in relief of Tanaka in the sixth.
Warren throws a 1,2,3 7th. that leaves Betances and Robertson for the 8th and 9th if need be.
Jeter ending his career on fire with his 4th consecutive two hit game as he leads Yankees to a 5-1 lead after 7.
Jeter is unbelievable. The best there is.
Under no pressure Betances works the 8th and gives the Jays a meaningless run. Yanks up 5-2.
Final Yankees win 5-2.
Theeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnn.
Jeter is amazing. Eights hits against the Jays over the weekend.
Jeter is still better than half the players in MLB. And he is 40 years old.
At least the Yankees are ending the season with Jeters character and class leading them.
Jeter rules and has carried the Yankees all season keeping the team alive despite all the devastating injuries and very poor performances of players who were expected to do much better than they did.
The Orioles are in town for four games starting tonight. Lets do to them what we did to the Blue Jays. Clip their wings.
Pineda tonight and he is du to get some support.
Lets go Yankees.
Pineda and Tanaka are back. Nova back next season. CC back next season and will be a big if. Greene looks like a find. Then there is McCarthy and Capuano. The bullpen is golden with Robertson, Betances, and Warren plus others.
Yes bigbadwolf. And there are more. We may go after Scherzer. Hopefully not Lester.
Take down the O's.
Jeter RBI puts Yankees up 2-0 after 3.
Jeter again. Two more RBIs in fifth for a 4-0 Yankee lead.

Yanks 4-0 after 7. Pineda working on a one hitter.
Yanks hold 4-0 after seven.
Yanks up 5-0 after 8.
Final 5-0 yanks.
Theeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeees Winnnn.
Jeter is carrying this team. Win after win.
Still alive. It ain't over.
What a game from Pineda and Jeter. I know Jeter is not going to play next year, but he surely could.
McCarthy tonight after last nights brilliant Pineda outing.
McCarthy goes tonight.
Some big hits WHEN it counts lately, mainly by Jete, but he won't be around to carry the team next year.
Keep the wins coming.
The pitching may very well be brilliant next year, but the lineup is the big question. Jeter our best player will be gone, afraud the cancer will haunt spring training, then there is Tex? Beltran? McCann? etc. etc.
I think some major things may happen this off season. And some surprises.
Ruffle the O's feathers again tonight.
Yanks down 5-1 after 5.
Yanks trying to come back, down 5-4 after 8.
Yanks go down 5-4.
5-4 loss. Outhit 17-6.

I'm taking today off and going to see Jeter for the last time. GOD bless Derek Jeter and to hell with his haters.
Good for you Teena. Get another win.
2-0 Yankees after 2.
Greene implodes in the 4th and surrenders 6 runs putting Yanks down 6-3.

Final 9-5 loss. Eliminated. Tough year
and hopefully next year the devastating injuries are gone.
It's official. The fat lady is singing and it is now over and time for wait till next year.
Hung in there for 158 games with over half the pitching staff crippled.
Now we just play out the season and many meaningless stats.
Kuroda tonight weather permitting.
Raining in New York.
The sad part of not making the playoffs this year is that it is Jeters final year.
The O's have given us a whoppin' this season.
The rain is easing off in New York and it looks as if game four of the four game series between the Orioles and YANKEES will be played tonight at YANKEE Stadium. Hiroki Kuroda is scheduled to start tonight game and the game will be the very last game all time great and the greatest player over the past twenty seasons Derek Jeter will play in YANKEE Stadium. Good luck and thank you for all the playoffs, pennants, and World Series championships Derek. No player over the past twenty seasons has won more game, reached the playoffs more times, won more pennants and won more World Series rings. Thanks for the memories and being a man of class, character and charisma.
Thank you WIN METHOD, that was great. Love ya,
Jeter in his first at bat in his last game at the Stadium hits a booming blast off the left centerfield wall for an RBI double.
Jeter is simply amazing.
The best baseball has to offer. DEREK JETER.
Jeter is the best player in my lifetime and one of the greatest of all time.
2-2 after 4.
2-2 after 6.
Jeter again in the 7th. Probable game winning RBI leading to a big 3 run inning and a 5-2 lead after 7. The greatest over and over even at 40.
5-2 Jeter after 7.
It's like a movie script. Directed by Derek Jeter of course.
How about this for magnificence. 46 years ago today MICKEY MANTLE had his final at bat at Yankee Stadium. Now to the day 46 years later DEREK JETER has his final at bat at Yankee Stadium.
Two all time greats of baseball.
Watch the tears flow in the 9th everyone. Derek Jeter Derek Jeter Derek Jeter Derek Jeter Derek Jeter
Derek Jeter Derek Jeter Derek Jeter
