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!

I second WIN METHOD. Happy birthday to the best MLB player over the past 20 years.
Good job WIN METHOD. Love Jeter and ya,
Nice how the Yankees had an off day for Dereks birthday. Enjoy, you are the greatest.
Lets not forget that despite all this teams issues Jeter still has the Yankees in contention.
Weekend series with the sux and it looks like the Yankees aren't skipping Nuno in the rotation.
As usual have to win series consistently.
It was Derek Jeter's 40th birthday on Thursday, which was an off day. So let's make Friday night's game at Yankee Stadium a sold out birthday party for him. EVERYONE wear your Jeter jersey, tee shirt, caps, etc. and let's sing Happy Birthday to him after the National Anthem ...
Going to game tonight and dressed for it.
Nuno is listed to start tonight.
All hail Derek Jeter as he leads his team to another playoff season.
Nuno is overdo to pitch a good game.
You never know from game to game. That is the beauty of the game. Every dog has his day.

There is so much wisdom and knowledge here on the WIN METHOD blog. Or you can go to the talk forums with countless brain dead mind numbed stat frauds.
Tanaka tonight. Bounce back rebound effort from Tanaka could set bosux back on their heels.
This is great. Here is a
comment on a Yankee thread in one of the baseball forums. Likely from an ignorant stat fraud referring to the Yankees right now.
""""""Based on peripherals this team is one of the 6 worst in baseball. Barely better than Boston. Girardi has done a nice job but they do not have the talent to put on the field or trade to win this year."""""""
'Peripherals' what a fool. Right now the Yankees would be in the playoffs.
How's this for greatness. Derek Jeter has 995 multi-hit games. That is more than six full 162 game seasons. WOW!
CC in July and Pineda in August could punch our ticket to the playoffs for sure.
Both dirty bird teams, Orioles and Blue Jays playing this afternoon. Wishing them both losses.
Lets go Yankees.
Blue Jays have lost this afternoon.
Keep winning Masahiro. you may be the best in baseball.

1-1 after 3.
1-1 after 4.
1-1 after five and Yankees still do not have a hit.

Tanaka gives up a 2 out 2 strike HR in 9th. yanks have 3 outs trailing 2-1.
Game over Yankees lose 2-1.
Yanks lose 2-1. Tanaka complete game loss.
One heck of a horrible loss.
Tomorrow is another day. What a crazy season.
After last nights downer, we have the hated Sunday night espn game.

Lets go guys. Get back to winning.
1-1 after four. Jeter again.
Yankees down 2-1 after 6.
Hello...
Another day, same rotten result. Yankees lose 2-1.
The bats are non existent except for Jeter. Four hits and Jeter has two of them and is responsible for the only run again.
Kuroda was brilliant as was Tanaka the other night. Both lose 2-1.
Well we have sunk to .500 and this afternoons game will determine if we are over or under at the end of the day.
I can't believe that this team is not hitting even close to what was believed by most so called experts thought.
We are only half way through the season. There is plenty of time.
Maybe.
2-2 after 3.
Nuno lost, the Yankees, lost, there is nothing to say.
All this losing is not good.
Time to play baseball. Wake up guys. You are stealing money and giving the fans nothing.
Zealous Wheeler called up and Solarte back to AAA. How about cutting Belran for surgery and bring up one of our promising outfielders who could actually play the outfield and hit.
I would like to see more of WIN METHODS youngsters brought up to the bigs and told this is your position for the rest of the year.
Ready to ride out tonights NC hurricane.
Tanaka tonight. Can we please score runs. Tonight, tomorrow, and the next day.
Lets get back to winning.

Yanks up 7-4 after 7.
Final Yanks win 7-4.
Theeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnn.
Tanaka was a little off tonight but good enough to win with support finally.

Happy Independence Day America.
Celebrate the 4th with hamburgers, hot dogs, apple pie, and a Yankee win.
God bless America.

Looks like CC is done for the season.
Happy 4th, enjoy the fireworks.
Fireworks time. Happy 4th.
So far so good this road trip.
Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend. Phelps this afternoon for the Yankees.
Winning is easier win you score some runs. Keep it going guys.
It is possible the wild card may not be in play for AL east teams, therefore only the division winner gets to go to the playoffs.

Yankees lead 1-0 after 5.
No bats again today thru seven.
1-1 after 7.
Extra innings 1-1 after 9.
1-1 after 9.
1-1 after 10.
Can't score can't win. Yanks lose 2-1 in 11.
Wake up guys. Runner going to first after out at home never took one step inside the 45 foot line. Every step was on the infield and he should be out. Doesn't anyone know baseball,
Great catch sid. You are right.
Yanks lose 2-1 in 11.
Kuroda to try to win the series this afternoon. Will we score runs today?
It still come down to getting hits with men in scoring position, and we are not accomplishing that enough.
We have to come up with a good starter to help us out, AND the bats need to start producing WHEN it counts.
Soriano let go. Nuno traded for nothing.
Jeters 3998th hit leads to 2 first inning runs for the Yankees.
Yankee bats are alive today. Lead 6-0 after 2.
Jeter 3399th hit gives the Yankees 2 more runs and 8-0 lead.
Kuroda implodes in the 4th but Yankees lead 9-4 after 4.
Yanks lead 9-4 after 6.
Lets go Yankees.
9-6 Yanks after 8. A what was a 9-0 laugher isn't funny. But getting the win is the only thing that matters.
Jeter with 3400th hit in 9th inning for a three hit game. the greatest in my lifetime.
From 9-0 to your closer coming in to save the game in the 9th with the tying runs on base and the winning run at the plate. Nothing is easy this season.
Game over Yankees win 9-7.
Robertson saves it on Jeter defense going to his right and take hit away and ending game.
Yankees win. Take series three games to one. Every win is a struggle.
Jeter is unreal and deserves every accolade he gets. The demeanors and naysayers are only jealous ignorant fools.
Derek Jeter voted by the fans who know baseball best to start at shortstop for the American League team. Tanaka and Betances also make the team.

-----------------------------------
That is why the stat frauds hate Jeter. Jeter exemplifies the WIN METHOD reality.
Onto Cleveland tonight for another four game series.
Here is to the Captain!
1. He has more hits than any right handed American League batter in the entire history of the game, INCLUDING pre-1920's baseball.
2. He has never been thrown out of a game.
3. He has led the Yankees to 17 playoff appearances in the 19 years he played, the only two he missed were his first year, before he was a rookie, and last year.
4. There is no more a deserving player, nobody more loved in baseball, right now in the game than Derek Jeter. He is the last of the Core 4 and the dynasty of so many wins it is staggering. Something no team in the last 20 years has approached.
5. And he has led the team without one hint of pride of self privilege.
THAT is why the Toronto Blue Jays are whining about him playing, they refuse to understand this is an election. So, he was elected, not for his best skill this year, although he is batting about .275 which is not bad for an over 40 player, but he also is the greatest player, as was Mo, in what he has done, in my lifetime.
And I am grateful for the experience of watching him, and telling my grandchildren in 50 years, I WATCHED Derek Jeter play, with my dad, over 300 times in the Bronx. The greatest city in the world.
Shane Greene pitching for Yankees tonight.
Lets hope Greene can help for awhile.
We just need to hit when it counts and score runs.
3-0 Yankees after 2.
Yanks up 5-0 after 3.
Yanks up 5-1 after 5.
Yanks hanging onto 5-2 lead after 7. Greene with six solid innings.
After leading 5-0 it is now 5-3 Yanks after 8. Right, nothing is easy.
5-3 Yanks after 8.
Betances pitches the 8th and 9th for the save. Yankees win 5-3. Greene gets the win in his first start.
Theeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeees Winnnn.
Yanks win it 5-3.
Wins, the only thing that counts. Keep them coming.
Jeter created double play last night with Indians posing a threat without touching the ball. That is why Jeter has been the greatest defensive shortstop in baseball.
http://wapc.mlb.com/cutfour/2014/07/07/83599108/derek-jeter-pretends-to-turn-double-play
Brilliant play by Jeter. Great game from Greene. Just keep the wins coming.
Nice to have Tanaka pitching not after a loss. Keep the wins coming. It is all about wins, nothing else matters.
Lets go Yankees.
3-1 Yankees after 2.
Yanks up 3-2 after 6.
Yankees down 4-3 after 6. Tanaka with his worst game of the season,
Yanks down 5-3 after 7.
Who would've thunk Shane Greene would outpitch Tanaka in back to back games.
Yankees go down in a game they cannot afford to lose.
Yanks lose it 5-3.
Another downer game.
Hope Tanakas game was just one of those days every pitcher has during a season and there are not to many more of them.
That Jeter fake out video was typical of just how into the game he is. That is something you don't plan, you just do instinctively. Best in the game.
We ain't gonna go anywhere without WINS.
No bats WHEN it mattered last night. The game could have been put away in the first few innings with a hit a right time.
McCarthy makes his first start as a Yankee tonight, lets see what we get. Hope he gets some support.
Show us something McCarthy. You are in the big leagues now.
4-4 after 5
Tanaka on 15 day DL. Elbow inflammation.
4-4 after 7.
McCarthy did well in his first Yankee start. Betances in for a 1,2,3 8th and the score is still 4-4.
Extra innings. 4-4 after 9.
4-4 after 9.
Onto the 11th, still 4-4.
4-4 after 10.
Tanaka going down hurts.
Yanks go down in 11th.
Going to the 12th.
Yanks down 1,2,3 in 12th.
