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!

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 2925 Newer› Newest»To many inconsistent games, but will still lead the AL East.
Enjoy the game Teena. I know you will if we win.
Lets get even guys. Only need to win by one run.
3-1 Yankees after 2.
Rookie Murphy delivers with two out in the 2nd with a two run single giving the yanks a 3-1 lead.
3-3 after 4.
Murphy again. First MLB home run gives Yankees 4-3 lead after 5.
Yanks up 4-3 after 5.
Betances relieves Nuno in 5th and gets Yanks thru inning. Also pitches a shutout 6th.
It's a battle of the bullpens. Yanks lead 4-3 after 6.
Yanks up 4-3 after 6.
A nail biter. Still 4-3 after 7.
Robertson does it. BIG time save.
Theeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeees Win.
Yankee bullpen fabulous for the win.
Final. 4-3 Yanks.
Thanks Teena, you did it again.
A WIN METHOD one run win after a 31-1 loss. Go suck on your stats, stat frauds.
Love one run wins, love any wins. Very good game today. Our bullpen was the difference.
What a great game. I was on the edge of my seat for every pitch. A great win.
Girardi has been masterful managing the pitching staff. But like anything the manager calls the shots and only the execution by the players determines good or bad results.
The bullpen earned the win, and Betances gets credit for his first MLB win.
The espn game tonight for the Yankees. Rubber game of this series with the Angels. Chance to take another series and move forward.
I love losing 13-1 and then winning 4-3. One win and one loss rely show how meaningless stats can be especially when they are used to compare players. What fools these stat frauds be.
you attended a great win Teena. Need another win tonight.
OK can we win by more than one run tonight.
I wonder if Trout becomes baseballs cover boy once Jetes retires.
Getting close to Tanaka time.
Scoreless after 2. Yankee bats deadly silent.
Tanaka not sharp tonight. Yanks down 1-0 after 4,
1-1 after 5.
Yanks down 2-1 after 6.
Teixeira HR ties game in 7th at 2-2.
2-2 after 7.
Robertson coming in for the save after Yanks take 3-2 lead.
Yanks up 3-2 after 8.
Final 3-2 Yankees.
Robertson save it. Yanks win 3-2 and take series.
Two one run wins in a row. Brilliant bullpen work yet again.
A fine win last night.
More fodder for the stat frauds to try to explain. Yankees/Angels 3 game series. Angles outscore Yankees by 10 runs. One problem for the stat frauds, the Angels lost the series. Angels have scored more runs than any team in baseball and aren't playing .500 baseball. It is NEVER how much or how many in any stat except for WINS. Stat frauds are fools.
Tanaka is really something else. What a gritty outing last night. and then Warren has turned out to be all WIN METHOD could ever have wanted with his special selection from 2009. And then there is Robertson who looks as if he is very comfortable in the closer role.
A well deserved day off today. Get ready for the M's.
The stat frauds have their head buried in the sand or someplace where the sun doesn't shine.
For over 20 years the only advantage the Yankees have had over the other franchises is the WIN METHOD. The WIN METHOD has made the Yankees the winningest team in MLB.
Enjoy the day but don't forget about the Mariners.
Two nail biting one run wins in a row. Bullpen is the best in baseball and got both wins, hold, and saves.
15-10 start. Not bad, but it is a long season.
Three games with the Mariners starting tonight, weather permitting.
CC can welcome Cano back with on 0fer.
Earn the win, that is all that counts and matters.
Take another series guys.
Lets go Yankees.
The stat frauds are continuing to demean Jeters defense as he continues to make brilliant play after play and lead the defense to the AL East lead.
1-0 Yankees after 2 on Tex HR.
Yanks up 1-0 after 2.
2-0 Yanks after 4.
CC give up 4 in the fifth. Yanks trail 4-2.
Yanks down 4-2 after 6.
Yanks down 6-2 after 7. This one is on CC, but we have 2 more shots.
Yanks 9th inning rally falls short with tying run at plate. Lose 6-3.
Final, loss, 6-3.
Far to many men left on base. Again, missing chance WHEN it mattered.
Shouldn't lose games like last night.
CC is disappointing to many times now.
Phelps goes tonight and hopefully the bats will help out.
The Yankees are still not playing like they should and are in first place. Bodes well for the rest of the season.
Looks like a rainout for tonight is possible. Steady rain now with more still to come.
To many squandered opportunities last night, proving yet again it is When you hit compared to how much or how many.
CC had some really rotten luck in the 5th inning last night. But he did not get the last big out WHEN he needed to.
Heavy rain in the New York area.
Reported Pined to be out 3-4 weeks. That will make him very viable for September and October baseball. Think positive.
Rained out tonight.
Yesterdays rained out game will be played on a mutual off day for the Yankees and Mariners in early June.
Just have to win tonight to even series with M's.
OK, April is over and we got our 15 wins. Now May and we need 16 wins or more.
A 15 win April is right on track for a 93 win season. The monthly goals were 15 wins April, June, September and 16 wins May, July, August or better.
The monthly win plan is very logical and sets a very attainable goal for playoff teams.
Lets start May off with a win.
Kuroda needs to bounce back and get his game straight. With Pineda down and Nova out everyone needs to stip it up.
Baseball is a very tough game. You need nore ability to play baseball and be really good than any other sport. The difference between being the best for the past 20 years has been the WIN METHOD.
We should be do for an easy 4-5 run win.
The last paragraph of this WIN METHOD blog says that every member of the team contributes in their own way to winning. In many cases it 40 guys not just the 25 man roster.
Score early and score often. Lets go Yankees
1-1 after 1. Elsbury defense and HR.
Yanks down 2-1 after 3. Kuroda struggling.
Kuroda looks bad 4 runs, 7 hits and over 70 pitches in 4 innings.
Yanks down 4-1 coming to bat in the 4th. We will have to stage a comeback to win.
Yanks down 4-2 after 8. One more chance. Not hitting at all.
Yanks lose 4-2. Pretty dismal.
Sad loss last night and now the Rays come in for three game series.
Nuno, Tanaka, CC scheduled for the 3 games.
Nuno needs to bring his A game tonight, because Price after his last start against the Yankees will be looking to even the score.
We need to get back to winning games.
Losing Nova doesn't help at all. Replacing a good starting pitcher is harder than replacing a position player.
Hope we can do to Price what we idd last time.
2-1 Yankees after 2. McCann 2 run homer.
Yanks up 2-1 after 2.
2-1 Yankees after 3.
Yanks down 3-2 after 4.
Yanks down 4-2 after 6.
Teixeira and Soriano back to back homers tie game in 8th at 4-4.
4-4 after 8 as Tex and Sori hit HRs in the 8th.
4-4 after 8.
Rays score off Robertson in 9th, then Yankees tie it 5-5. On to extra innings.
5-5 after 9. On to the 10th.
5-5 extra innings. Come on guys we need this win.
5-5 after 11.
Great game. Glad no work tomorrow. Starting the 12th inning.
Warren with a shutout 12th. Yanks have top of lineup coming. Lets win this.
Yanks blow golden opportunity in 12th. Going to the 13th.
Still 5-5 after 12.
Yanks with another big threat. 2nd and 3rd one out. 5 infielders and Gardner grounds out. 2 out still 2nd and 3rd. Don't score, on to the 14th.
After 13 innings both teams have left 49 men on base.
Leroux in for the Yankees.
Leroux gets hammered and the Yankees waste a game they should have won 5 different times.
This game is over 5 1/2 hours and still going.
Maybe Leroux thinks he is pitching batting practice. He has gotten one out and has already given up as many runs as all the other pitchers combined in the firs 13 innings.
What a sad way to end the game.
Yanks batting in the 14th down 10-5.
Jeter may have had the worst game offensively of his career tonight.
Yes we have another game in 12 hours.
It is finally over, a horrible loss. Yankees lose 10-5.
Nightmares after last nights loss. But it does illustrate just how much a hit WHEN it matters most makes a difference in who wins or losses compared to the flawed how much and how many.
After being dejected I fell right asleep because I was so tired.
Jeter went 0 for 7 but he hit the ball hard several times unfortunately right at somebody or the fielder made a great play.
At least Jeters defense is still brilliant.
Here we are waiting for Tanaka to bail us out again.
Yanks down 2-0 after 3.
Three innings for Yankees and it has been 9 up and 9 down.
Tanaka struggling today, can Yanks bail him out?
Tex 2 run HR cuts Ray lead to 3-2 after 4. Will that breathe new life into Tanaka.
3-3 after 5 but Yankees leave bases loaded and fail to deliver WHEN it would have mattered most.
3-3 after 5.
Yanks take 4-3 lead after six on Kelly Johnson HR.
Yanks up 4-3 after 6.
Tanaka completes seven leading 4-3.
Yanks up 6-3 after 7.
9-3 Yankees after 8.
Betances pitches the 8th and Claiborne finishes it off in the 9th for a much needed Yankee win.
Final Yanks win it 9-3. Rubber game tomorrow.
We get a much needed win with Tanaka being the ace again hanging tough.
CC needs to keep up with Tanaka to be a potent 1-2 combination.
30 hits in 2 games and only 1 win.
We need a win from you CC and at least 6 to 7 quality innings.
Nothing for three innings and then a big comeback win. Need to string several wins together.
Tanaka is a win machine.
I love winning I love Masahiro Tanaka I love the Yankees I love the WIN METHOD.
Don't we all Koji.
Sabathia if he adopted the Andy Pettitte style of gut it out pitching and competitiveness might have better outcomes when he pitches.
Put it all together today CC.
LETS GO YANKEES
Sabathia floundering again. Down 4-1 after 3.
CC can't complete 4 innings and is pulled giving up 5 runs.
Yanks down 5-1 after 4.
Yanks down 5-1 after 5 and miss scoring chances in the 5th.
Yanks again fail on great scoring opportunity in the 7th and still trail 5-1 after 7.
Yanks down 5-1 after 7.
Yankees lose 5-1 and lose series.
Final, Yanks go down 5-1.
CC 3 2/3 five runs. Aceves 5 1/3 no runs. If Sabathia doesn't shape up he may very well kill us.
After a losing home stand the Yankees go West for three in Anaheim with the Angels and three in Seattle with the Mariners starting tonight.
The way things are going for the Yankees it is hard to believe they are still in first place.
3-3 on this western swing would be tolerable. Hoping for better however.
This has been a crazy season so far for so many teams.
Game time. Phelps on stage.
No score after 2.
0-0 after 4.
Scoreless thru four. Nobody is hitting.
Yanks down 1-0 after 5.
Still down 1-0 after 6. Bat have been near useless. Three more chances.
1-1 after 7.
Yanks tie it 1-1 after 7.
Bases loaded nobody out and the Yankees can't score. WHEN WHEN WHEN. Girardi thrown out of game arguing a pitch.
Yankees down 4-1 after 8 as Kelly and Thornton and Claiborne walk 6 men and Angels score 3 runs without hitting the ball.
Yankees walk 6 batters in 8th and are down 4-1. Pathetic.
The horror is over. Oh my, the fur will fly. Girardi cannot be happy.
WOW, what a mess.
Last night was pretty bad. Have we hit bottom yet?
It isn't that bad fans. Remember this WIN METHOD tenet. When you are doing great you aren't that good and when you are doing miserably you aren't that bad.
Here we go again, Yanks down 2-0 after 3.
A much needed win last night.
Man Jeter has been in a slump, but he has been hitting the ball hard. Jeters defense is still the best at shortstop. He made a play the other night that no other shortstop could make on a roller up the third base line from the shortstop position. What range and ability.
Best of last night. Kuroda gave a great outing. Girardi brought Kelly tight back after the night before debacle. Robertson with a save. Jeter three hits in last two games and playing magnificent defense.
Very nice one run win, and that is all it takes. Take series tonight with Tanaka.
WE need to start putting everything together for a few weeks and go something like 16-4.
2 to 3 weeks of .700 to .800 baseball will cure all ills.
Nuno is starting tonight. Tanaka will go Friday in Milwaukee.
Get this series guys.
great effort from Nuno and a big 9-2 series winning game at Anaheim.
Jeter is back on track and leading the way. The game one loss of this series may have been a team wake-up call.
Can you imagine the season turning because of the worst umpire in baseball Laz the loser Diaz.
Off day and going to Milwaukee for three over the weekend. Take that series also and the road trip will be a grand success.
Off day question to the stat frauds out there who are afraid to post here. Why are you all so blind to winning?
If CC can get his act together we will be fine.
Tanaka starts tonight. Lets go Yankees.
Tanaka has been great, but he will lose a game one day.
Keep the wins coming, one game at a time.
Lets end this short trip by taking another series.
No score after 3.
Solarte 3 run HR in 4th plus RBI double from Roberts puts Yankees in front 4-0 in 4th.
