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 1001 – 1200 of 2925 Newer› Newest»Tanaka is a gem. thank you WIN METHOD.
I love to watch Tanaka pitch. He is a wizard. Reminds me of Whitey ford.
Whitley tonight and the chance for a sweep.
WINS WINS WINS --- Only WINS matter.
The hitting in the clutch, the opportunities when games can be won, has cost the Yankees dearly so far this season. Things sometimes can turn very quickly and even out. Then watch this team roll.
Speaking of WINS, where are the phoney baloney stat frauds? Afraid to debate here because their lies don't cut it here.
Give us another good one Whitley.
Sweeeeeeeeeep tonight.
The name stat frauds defines baseball losers very well.
Lets go Yankees.
Very possible that this years first Yankee draft pick could make the team as a lefty reliever before the season is over.
The thing I hate most about the stat frauds and their idolization of individual stats is how they blame everyone else on the team for losing.
Tanaka is the real deal.
Whitley starts tonight and has really stepped up when given his chance.
I lose alot of sleep with these west coast games.
Just say no to stat frauds.
First timer. Greetings from Hawaii. Long time Yankee fan and now also a WIN METHOD fan.
Keep winning guys, that is all it takes.
When does anyone think when the Yankees will win a laugher next?
Lets do it guys. Keep the wins coming.
Start quickly tonight. Score early and often.
Go Yankees.

Yankees win. good start to the A's series.
Very very nice win.
Phelps really stepped up last night and the captain is still the greatest.
A big positive may be we have another live bullpen arm in Ramirez.
Kuroda to follow up Whitley and Phelps outings?
Keep it going guys. Wins takes you to the playoffs, absolutely no other stat of any kind for anyone means more.
Pineda being held back on purpose? For teh late season run and the playoffs. Remember he had a year off and likely can only throw some many innings. This is the way to have him and his electric arm ready when it counts the most.
You can't win them all, but you need to win enough to make the playoffs.
Yanks down 2-0 after 2. Kuroda walks hurting .
Yanks down 2-1 after 3.
What a great defensive play by Jeter from the outfield grass deep in the hole and throwing a beebee to first to get a speedy runner. Still has his great defensive skills.
The Yankees go down 5-1. win streak stopped. The game was marred by an extended delay because the lights did not come on.
We were awful last night. Rebound quickly guys.
You may be right johnsondc. the Yankees do tend to look at the big picture.
Nuno to start this afternoons rubber game.
Would really love to win this game and come home very upbeat.
Nuno implodes in first giving up three run home run.
Nuno with a second three run HR.
We got our laugher. We are on the wrong end thou.
Yanks lose 10-5. Lose two series of three yet finish road trip 5-4.
We're a group of volunteers and opening a brand new scheme
in our community. Your site offered us with helpful information to work
on. You have done an impressive job and our entire community will probably
be thankful to you.
Feel free to visit my blog; mobile games arena
Hope everyone is enjoying the day off. Come back strong and win.
Tanaka tonight.
It would be fine if we can take this first series and move closer to first place in the division.
Your web site reflects a great purpose. Thanks for this site. it will help all.
Take the first game and go from there.

Tanaka six innings one run and the WIN. Betances two innings and the hold. Robertson one inning and the save. 3-1 win.
Tanaka has been a gem. The best in baseball.
Great that Tanaka is so brilliant, but the lineup continues to falter.
CC could be ready in July, but he may not be the answer. Can replace Nuno no matter what.
Whitley tonight and this will be a big test for him facing the Blue Jay lineup that has just been shut down the previous game.
Maybe we can score some runs for Whitley.
Whitley...do what Tanaka did.

Whitley with a gutsy five innings for the win. Warren brilliant two innings.
Tonights game means a lot. It means two games in the standings between the Jays and the Yankees. A win and the Yanks gain 3 games on the Jays. A loss and the Yanks only gain 1 game.
A much needed win last night. Whitley is a bulldog. warren was superb again. Girardi tried to give Betances a day off using Ramirez for the 8th bur Ramirez quickly put two men on and Joe removed him very quickly. Betances ended the threat easily and Robertson pitched an easy 9th.
Phelps tonight for the sweep. A sweep would be great.
Rain passing through the Bronx this afternoon but forecast for tonight game is good.
Big big game tonight. The Yankees can get some big momentum with a win.
Give us another winning effort Phelps.

Thee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnn.
The Yankees sweep the Jays. great effort. Thanks for those tack on runs.
Baltimore coming in for three this weekend. Don't let up and keep the wins coming.
Girardi did a good job with the pitching staff to win these last three games. But remember the WIN METHOD tenet, it is the performance of the players on the field which make the managers decisions either right or wrong. When the team wins the manager looks good, when the team loses the manager looks bad. The players on the field determine the outcome with their performace.
One series does not a season make. We still have 3 1/2 months of baseball to go. The winner will be determined at the end of 162 games.
Three game weekend series with the O's including Old timers Day festivities.
Yankee pitching lineup for the weekend. Kuroda, ohnoNuno, Tanaka.
Keep the line moving Hiroki. Wins keep the line moving.

Afternoon game today, Nuno starts. Will Nuno step up and will the bats show up?
Nuno is the Yankees 7th starter. He may be pitching for his spot today.
Very nice win last night. Very exciting.
It just might be this Yankee team with so many new faces is starting to come together as a group. No meeeeeeeeees, just usssssssssssses.
Prove you can keep up Vidal. Lets go Yankees.
Lets go Yankees.
OhnoNuno puts Yankees down before they come to bat surrendering sole HR in first.
Yanks down 1-0 after 2.
Nuno must go. He is a batting practice pitcher. Allows 2 run HR in 4th. O;s still batting with Yanks down 3-0. Gardner saves Nuno making a good running catch in the left field corner.
NomoreNuno gives up another 2 run HR in 5th. Yanks trailing 5-1. Please no more Nuno.
Yes Nuno gave up 5 runs on 3 HRs in 7 innings, but he got almost no support from the lineup.
Yanks down 5-1 after 7.
Yankees go down 6-1. Nuno losses again. But with the Yankees scoring only one run, maybe no one could have won.
Final Yanks lose 6-1.
Rubber game tomorrow.
If CC is not ready even until after the All Star game nuno would only need to be started 3 more time. CC could be ready before the All Star game and maybe Nuno only twice unless someone else is given his starts.
After todays Old Timers Day celebration and events the Yankees will play the rubber game of this weekend series with the Orioles. Masahiro Tanaka will try for his 12 th win of the season for the Yankees. Go Yankees.
Big game this afternoon, a chance to take a series from another division rival.
A sports watching day today. Yankees at 2pm and the USA game at 6pm.
Yes Nuno got hammered again, but we only scored one run. We aren't going to win many games scoring one run. Hits when it counts and matters most determines who wins games.
All true Yankee fans celebrate all the old timers past and present for their contributions in making the New York YANKEE franchise the best in all of baseball.
Minutes to Tanaka time. Go Yankees.
Yankees down 1-0 after 2.
Yanks trail 1-0 after 4 and not delivering when it counts so far today.
Still down 1-0 after 5.
Yanks down 1-0 after 5.
Seven complete. Yanks down 3-0 and still failing to get a hit that matters.
Nice shout out for the old timers WIN METHOD. Love ya,
The wheels have come off the wagon and Tanaka will get his second loss of the season. Hard to win when you don't score any runs.
Yanks losing 7-0 after 8.
What is amazing about this season right now three weeks into June is that with all the things that have happened to this team and the lineups failure to produce consistently that the Yankees are just 1 1/2 games out of first place.
Final, Yanks trounced 8-0. On to three games in Toronto.
Final Yanks lose 8-0.
