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!

Theeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeees Winnnnn.
Yanks win it 5-4.
A long hard win into the morning.
Games that go almost five hours and past midnight are taxing on my work schedule. At least it was a win.
Phelps tonight to try to take 3 of 4 of this series.
Would be nice to take this series and go 6-2 on the road trip with three game in Baltimore over the weekend.
Guys, you just need to get that big hit more often and then you can roll.
Scoreless after three.
Yanks up 2-0 after 4.
Yanks lead 2-0 after 4 but have left the bases loaded twice where a hit WHEN it mattered could have opened a big lead.

Yanks down 6-3 with Indians batting in the 8th.
What a disastrous loss last night and throw in the disastrous news regarding Tanaka and it may very well be the heart of this team has been ripped out of the Yankees for this season.......The curse of afraud??????
On an upbeat note....... Derek Jeter heads to his final All-Star game as the baseball player with the best-selling jersey.
Major League Baseball said Thursday that Jeter's jersey has been the top seller on MLB.com since opening day........All hail the Captain, the greatest baseball player in the world for the past twenty years.
Rehab for Tanaka sadly could be only temporary. At his young age and long possible future, I would think TJ surgery may be the best long term option.
After the injuries of the 2013 season who could have possibly believed 2014 would be worse.
Kuroda tonight, our only original starting pitcher. Hope we have a rabbit in the hat for the remainder of this season.
Can we take 2 of 3 from the O's.
2-0 Yankees after 3.
2-2 after 4.
2-2 after 4.

Kuroda with 7 solid 2 run innings. Betances in for an easy 8th. 2-2 after 8.
Extra innings 2-2. We can't score we can't win.
Yanks lose 3-2 in 10.
Game over 3-2 losa.
Things do not look good. The biggest problem being the consistent failure of the hitters to be able to deliver the big hit WHEN it matters and a close game can be won or a game won easily. the pitchers are being drained physically trying to keep the team in contention, but the lineup has been the problem.
I can live with the injuries, but my disappointment in this team this season has been the overwhelming lack of production from the hitters in the men on base situations and producing the runs needed to win so many games that have been lost by one or two runs. This team, even with all the injuries, could easily be in front of the division by several games right now, if the big hits were only delivered in a timely fashion.
Jeters farewell season is going out on a sour note, through no fault of his own.
It won't make an iota of difference how well any of the Yankee pitchers pitch if the lineup doesn't score runs. To many guys overpaid and under achieving.
Lets see if Greene can do it again.
1-0 Yanks after 3.
Yanks up 1-0 after 5.
Yanks lead 3-0 after 7. Greene 7 shutout innings. Jeter with key hits for all Yankee runs.

Yanks win 3-0.
Great game from Greene. that's the way we have to win. Pitch a shutout.
If we can only win tomorrow.
Interesting, Greene has now become our #1 starter and Kuroda is #2. Then in any order, Whitley, McCarthy, ?????????
Greenes pitches were really moving yesterday, hope it's the real thing and we have our own gem.
Whitley on tap for tonight.
We are still close enough and should not give up yet. Crazy things can happen.
Go Yankees.
Again the despised espn Sunday night game.
Tonights game is a 2 game swing in the standings. We could really use a win.
It really has been a very tough season, and it has to take a toll on Girardi.
Get the win tonight guys. The season is getting shorter.
If anyone cares. Germany just won the World Cup 1-0 in overtime. Sounds like a Yankee game.
Yanks lead 1-0 after 3.
Yanks down 3-1 after 4.
Major thunderstorm in Baltimore, rain, lightning, and thunder. Game delayed.
We lose in extra innings, we lose in regulation time games, now we can add a rain shortened game.
All Star break. Time to think things out and make a plan.
Hope the plan includes some type of miracle.
One big second half run and we will survive.
Derek Jeter, baseball best player over the past two decades to be recognized and honored at tonight All Star game in Minneapolis.
Derek Jeter leads the American League All Stars to a 5-3 victory over the nl all stars with two hits in two at bats and more brilliant defensive play.
What a great honor for Jeter last night in Minneapolis at the 2014 All Star game. And Jeter delivered again on the biggest stage with the brightest lights as he led the American League to a 5-3 win and home field advantage for the World Series.
All hail Derek Jeter, the baseball baseball has to offer.
Get ready to play guys. Now or forget this year. WINS
Lets go Yankees. Rise above the obstacles.
Jeter is the role model for anyones child and any baseball player.
Phelps, McCarthy, Kuroda listed for the weekend series with the Reds.

Good start to the second half of the season. We left bases loaded twice yesterday and hot hitting when it counts most has been our Achilles heel.
The Rangers move in for a four game series starting tonight. Shane Greene goes, can he keep going good.
This should be a pretty good test for Greene tonight.
Kudos to the Yankees and to WIN METHOD. Considering all the issues this team has had so far, to look at the standings and be just 3 games from the top is astounding and gives credence to just how good the WIN METHOD is.
Go Yankees.
Wins are the only way to the playoffs and despite what the stat fraud jerks try to tell you, wins define the best teams and players.

Now a big test this weekend. Toronto in for 3 games. Taking this series would be great.
Just keep winning series and this one this weekend is big.
The Yankees keep making minor moves adding and subtracting players.
The subtle Yankee moves are helping the team. Is there going to be a major move?
Keep it going guys. Win this series.

Very nice win.
Right into the fire. Capuano starts this afternoon for the Yankees.
All you can ask for Capuano is to keep us in the game. Everyone in the bullpen should be able to go today if needed.
Another win today would be enormous.
No score after two. Capuano struggling but grinding and holding the fort.
What a defensive play by Jeter yet again. Deep in the hole two steps onto the outfield grass great stop and rifle arm throw to first for the out.
Yankees take 2-0 lead after four on McCann HR.
Lets go Yankees.
Capuano can't come back with a shut down inning and gives up 2 runs. Now 2-2 with Yanks coming up in the 5th.

Kuroda tonight for the series. What a game last night. Sadly we used the bullpen stressfully.
It all comes down to wins, nothing else matters.
