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!

Yanks lose it, rubber game tomorrow.
A downer game, a game the Yankees could have easily won.
When you talk about the stat frauds and their BS defensive stats you can add in CCs great outing last night giving up only 1 earned run. But we know better.
Phelps this afternoon and a Yankee win will make for a very successful road trip.

Yes, this will be a year to remember. Making the playoffs despite all the detours along the way.
The subway series. Four games in four days. Sweeeeeeeeeeeep.
Kuroda gets the start tonight for the Yankees.
This season has been very testing so far. But Jeter will lead then through the turmoil.
All we can do is play WIN METHOD baseball, stay close, and then surge to the top when all the negatives shake out.
Keep grinding guys. It is a long season.
Kuroda is going to have to keep giving us big games.

Aceves shelled in the 5th. Yanks down 11-4.

Jeter with an rbi single last night and more great defense.

Excellent relief by Yankee bullpen. 4 1/3 innings. 1 hit and 10Ks. Betances, Warren, and Robertson.
Lose 2 at home to the Mets and then win 2 on the road with the Mets.
If we can only get a streak of wins going. Pirates in for three game weekend series.
Whitley did an admiral job in his first MLB outing. Kept the Yanks in the game and the team won. That is WIN METHOD.
Last night YANKEE pitcher Chase Whitley made his first MLB start, threw 4 1/3 innings of shutout ball, then the bullpen finished the rest of the game for the YANKEES with three different pitchers all throwing scoreless baseball. The YANKEES scored one run and that was all that was needed for the win, thus evening the four game series with the Mets at two games a piece.
It is nice to see so many of our youngsters contributing when needed.
Rain very likely for tonights game.
If game is rained out tonight there may be a double header of some sort Saturday.
We are having rain right now, but it has gotten lighter and the radar gives the impression storm is lessening. May be able to play tonight.
Tonights game has been canceled. It will be made up Sunday as part of a true double-header. One admission gets you two games.
No harm no foul. A day off. Rest and recoup.
With this afternoons 4PM start, the Yankees/Pirates will play three games in a little over a 24 hour period.
Phelps, Kuroda, Nuno scheduled for the three game series.
Goal for the weekend. Win the series.
Take todays game and start off on the right foot.
If the sub pitchers can hold the fort for awhile the injured can hopefully recover.
Time to win.

Bullpen saves it for Kuroda. Warren and Robertson finish off the last two innings for the hold and save as Kuroda earns the win 4-3.

Aceves and Thorton have to go as soon as our pitching gets organized.
3-3 after six. Then Aceves loses another one. We still should've won
Yanks lose game two 5-3. split the DH, but win the series.
he goal for May was 16 wins. We need 8 more and have 11 games on the schedule. Tanaka will start 3 of them.
Off day and on to Chicago with two games with the Cubs followed by four games with the White Sox. The city of Chicago could use a good sweeping.
I am hoping for 4 to 6 wins in Chicago this week.
Keep hanging in there guys, the best is yet to come.
Win at least 4 games this week and 4 games next week for the 8 we want.
The WIN METHOD makes a mockery of individual stats.
Go Yankees, clean out Chicago.
Tanaka tonight against the Cubbies.
Tanaka has been something special and I think many of us are taking his winning for granted. He will lose games and we must be able to accept that.
Lets go Yankees.

Yanks down 1-0 after 5. Can't win when you don't score.
We pulled a rabbit form the hat today with 2 game tying runs in the 9th and 2 game winning runs in the 13th. 4-2 Yankees.
A win no matter how you get it is still a win, and that is all you play for unless you are a stat fraud.
now to the other side of Chicago and four games with the White Sox.
One win at a time. No matter how, no matter who.
Four games with the White Sox starting tonight. Phelps, Kuroda, Nuno, Tanaka scheduled to start.
Jeters defense won yesterdays game. Cubs with bases loaded and one out in the 7th Jeter scoops up a hard hit grounder going to his left, steps on second and throws runner out for an inning ending rally ending double play that gives the Yankees their chance to win the game.

It sure is a pleasure to see Derek Jeter, who has been the best player in MLB over the past 20 years, acknowledged with standing ovations for every at bat in each ballpark in both leagues as the season progresses.

Betances, Warren, and Robertson with 3 1/3 innings of shutout ball so far, need one more inning from Robertson.
Get the save DRob.

Yanks lose 6-5 on 2 run HR in 9th.
It is going to be a long season at this rate.
We keep losing games we should win and the playoffs will be a long road to travel.
