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 1601 – 1800 of 2925 Newer› Newest»The YANKEES have an off day today. A much needed off day. A day to get heads on straight, and a day to rekindle the desire to make the playoffs. Wins and only wins will determine who is best and who goes to the second season.
Two months to do or die.
It is hard to believe the amount and severity of injuries the Yankee team has endured the past two seasons.
Alot of deals being done, so far none by the Yankees.
We get Drew and Prado and give up nothing really. In essence we got nothing really.
Sometimes new faces can give a boost. Hopefully. Why Drew, a second rate shortstop who isn't going to play shortstop.
We will face the sux this weekend, a team who traded away their pitching for bats.
Wins and only wins.
Yanks down 2-0 after 3.
The 'new' Yankees down 3-1 after 4. Looks like the same old same old.
Yanks down 3-2 after 6.
Yanks down 4-2 after 7. Can we come back?

Jeter HR to lead off the 8th 4-3.
Final, loss 4-3.
Drew and Prado 0 for 6. Only one game, but no help at all and another one run loss.
Not good, not good at all.
All I can say about this season is WOW!
Keep your head up Yankee fans. You think you have it bad, try coming here.
Shalom Ben.
Still can't hit when it counts, but our opponents seem to just enough to stay ahead of us by one run, just like last night, tow out rbis to win by the sux.
Jeter keeps rolling along and continues to amaze. Still solid at 40 years old. Brilliant defense continues.
Scoreless after one.
Yanks down 3-0 after 2.
Jeter bases loaded double leads Yankees to a 4 run 3rd inning and a 4-3 lead.

A typical Yankee win, down to the last out.
From two great men of Italian heritage.....Never give up....It ain't over until it's over....
We really need to take this series tonight. And yes it is the despised espn Sunday night game again.
Pineda doing rehab start today.
Phelps tonight. Every game is a battle.
Pineda in first inning at Scranton. Ground out, walk, single, strike out, strike out. 22 pitches.
Pineda second inning, ground out, fly out, double, pop out. 21 pitches for 43 pitches after two innings.
Are you at the game Saul?
Yes NJYANKEE. I think Pineda will go one more inning. Estimate was 60-65 pitches. Looks just a tad rusty. How he feels the next couple of days will be the answer.
Thanks for the instant updates Saul.
Pineda third inning. Strike out, strike out, ground out. Just 11 pitches for 54 after three innings. I wonder if they will let him come out for the fourth for batter or two.
Pineda out for the fourth inning. Double, ground out runner to third. Pineda taken out of the game. Lets see how he feels tomorrow.
Jeter is playing his heart out this his final season. Having lost a small step those infield hits he used to beat out easily are now being decided by instant replays. What a great competitor.
Thanks for the instant Pineda news Saul. Only on the WIN METHOD and first again. Lets hope Pineda has no setbacks.
I HATE these espn 8pm games.
Thank you Saul. Lets go Yankees.

Over 8-7 win Betances hold Robertson save.
Again, it isn't easy, bur it's a win.
The Tigers in for four games. Can we be happy with a split.
Yes I would take a split of this series.
How about a sweep.
Play one game at a time. Get a break now and then. And win.
no score after two.
Yanks lead 2-0 after 4.
Yankees clinging to a 2-1 lead after 7. Just like almost every game we play, a 1 or 2 run game.
Robertson trying for another save as Yanks lead 2-1 into the 9th.
Theeee Yankeeeeeeeees Winnnnnn.
Robertson with a very strong 1,2,3 inning for the save.
Another one run win. But all you need is a win, no matter how you earn it.
Outstanding effort by McCarthy for another win. Gutty performance.
Now to do it again tonight.
Nice effort from everyone last night to achieve the win.
Kuroda tonight. Hope he is sharp.
Our pitching is keeping us in games. Keep it up Kuroda.
WINS stat frauds. Your nothing without them you fools.
Come on guys, keep on winning.
Yanks up 2-1 after 3.
Jeter great defense over and over. A leaping deeping in the hole on the outfield grass of a line drive off the bat of Miguel Cabrera. Still the best defender in the game.
Prado HR gives Yanks 3-1 lead after 5.
Yankees lead 3-1 after 5.
3-3 after 7. I think this is our 100th nail biter this year.
Betances blows away the Tigers in the 8th. We need a run.
Extra innings. 3-3.
3-3 after 10.
On to the 12th, and we are hitting the bottom of the barrel with our pitching. Our hitters are doing what they usually do. Not much. Dailey our 7th pitcher in for the 12th.
3-3 after 11.
Dailey gives up HR.
Game over, loss 4-3 in 12.
Final Yanks lose 4-3.
Nothing is easy, nothing this season.
The agony of defeat.
Another tough loss last night. You have to hand it to this Yankee team, manager, coaches, front office, and ownership. despite all the unfathomable setbacks this team is competitive with the very best teams in baseball.
Thank you William. This is why so many post here. On the forums the most of what you get is the demeaning, degrading and tearing apart of all the people you lauded in your post. Again, thank you.
Good job William. Lets go Yankees.
Positive and upbeat. Don't quit and don't whine. Let go Yankees.
Would love to win tonight.
Two seasons in a row now, injury after injury. But other teams seem to be going to similar woes. Some just as bad, some nearly as bad, and some not as bad.
Yes William, I am with you. This is the place to state honest opinions.
Let go Yankees.
Yanks down 1-0 after 3.
1-1 after 5 on Headley HR.
2-1 Yankees after 7 on McCann HR.
Yanks up 2-1 after 7.
Yankees blow it open with a big 8th.
Yanks take 5-1 lead after 8.
Give this team their do. The scratch and claw and fight to the end. The last three games the Yankees faced three Cy Young award winners from the past three seasons and have beaten two of them and no decisioned the third.
Everything William Mensom said earlier today is gospel,
Final Yankees win 5-1.
Theeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeees Winnnnn.
Finally a game decided by more than 1 or 2 runs. Best is we won.
Please another win today.
What an ego boost it could be to take this series this afternoon.
Greene goes today. Lets go Yankees.
The next few weeks will show how good this team is. They've had an insane amount of injuries but they're still there, they're still fighting. I feel like the guys we've brought in (specifically McCann and Ellsbury) have heart. These are guys who want to and know how to win.
The pitching holding up is going to be a concern but I'm thrilled we have a catcher who knows how to call a game and is comfortable with the staff we have.
Now if Greene can keep the line moving.
I'm with you William. Wins and only wins are the only stat that determines the best. All the time.
Keep winning guys, keep winning.
The following is a copy and paste from the stat fraud idiot world..
""""""""""McCann has been bizarrely awful against righties and has absolutely demolished lefties this year. It makes very little sense.
vs LHP: .316/.362/.541 (.394 wOBA, 151 wRC+)
vs RHP: .211/.269/.330 (.268 wOPA, 63 wRC+
For his career it's:
vs LHP: .264/.322/.433 (.331 wOBA, 103 wRC+)
vs RHP: .278/.354/.480 (.356 wOBA, 119 wRC+)
Don't know what it means, but it's definitely weird."""""""
This is the meaningless claptrap that floats their boat. What garbage. And they hate wins.
Game time. Lets go Yankees. Stat frauds are frauds.
Yankees scratch out a run for a 1-0 lead after 4. Love ya WIN METHOD.
Still 1-0 Yankees after 6.
1-0 yanks ater 6. Another nail biter.
Shane Greene is pitching the game of his young career. Seven innings, four hits, NO runs.
Yankees leave bases loaded in 7th. Had chance to open game up.
Greene pitches the 8th and gets Tigers 1,2,3. Three more outs.
Where is Betances????????
Final yanks win 1-0.
Robertson saves it. 1-0 win.
Girardi rolled the dice, walked a tightrope, and got away with it. Still a win.
What a win today. What an effort from Greene. Took 3 of 4 from the Tigers and it could have been a sweep. Don't let up this weekend.
Jerry Curcio said...
How about a sweep.
August 4, 2014 at 4:41 PM
Almost.
What a game today. Sorry I missed it.
I had work, but DVRd the game. Not the same as watching it in real time.
Can't let up this weekend. got to keep on winning.
Esmil rogers gets start in place of Phelps tonight.
Jerry Jerry Jerry
The pitching has been out of this world while the hitters have been out to lunch. More production would really help.
Keep moving forward and that can only be done with wins.
No letups and no let downs. Just WINS.
Almost Jerry, almost. 3 of 4 wasn't bad.
New here. Heard about the WIN METHOD. Tried it, like it, and yes wins and winning do determine the best.
Boom! Rogers gives up first inning run. Yanks down 1-0. BOOM BOOM BOOM, Yanks score five for a 5-1 lead after one.
Yanks lead 5-1 after 1.
Yanks up 5-1 after 3.
Welcome Raul, glad to have you with us.

Beltran grand slam in 6th gives Yankees 9-2 lead in 6th.
A laugher, not a nail biter, yeah.
Yanks lead 10-2 after 6.
10-6 Yankees after 8. Betances in to close it out.
Theeee Yankeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnn.
Game over. 10-6 win.
Betances with a 2K 9th. and a Yankee win.
At least we scored runs. Keep it going.
Jeter ties Honus Wagner for 6th on all time hit list. Next hit puts Jeter in 6th by himself. Great great ball players with 3000+ hits.
Win another this afternoon. Lets go Yankees.
Hopefully the Yankee bats will still be active this afternoon. Lets go Yankees.
No let ups, just win each series and take a step forward each time.
It's ALIVE. Yes we are. Go Yankees.
We are playing pretty decent baseball right now and that is translating into wins.
McCarthy this afternoon. Keep the line moving.
Yanks down 2-0 after 3 and do not have a hit yet.
this Kluber guy for the Tibe looks tough. we may need a break to win this one.
Yanks down 2-0 after 5.
Jeter now alone in 6th place on MLB all time hit list. The greatest shortstop ever.
Yankees down 2-0 after 6. BUT, they have made Kluber work hard, 109 pitches and he may be out of the game unless Francona wants to kill him by bringing him out in the 7th. It ain't over yet.
Derek Jeter has passed Honus Wagner on the career hits list with 3,431.
Yanks down 3-0 after 8.
Yanks down 3-0 afte 8. Beltran has looked bad today striking out twice with two men out in 6th and 8th.
We go down 3-0 striking out 15 times.
We lose 3-0 and you can't win if you don't score.
Losing to Kluber could be expected. McCarthy was solid again and that is a positive.
We just have to take this series tomorrow and root against our competition for the rest of today.
Need to win this series tomorrow.
You can't win every game but you take the series. Get it done and keep moving forward.
Rubber game this afternoon and we need every game in the win column.
Kuroda this afternoon. We need the win and we need some runs.
Bounce right back and send the Tribe packing.
Earn the win Kuroda. Make your final season a playoff one.
Yanks down 1-0 after 2.
Yanks down 2-0 after 3.
Kuroda can't finish five innings and leaves trailing 3-0.
Yanks down 4-0 after 7. We may be in trouble.
Final. A 4-1 loss. A lost series.
Elsbury with a 2 out solo HR in 9th for only Yankee run. Not good.
Yanks lose 4-1.
Not a very pleasant weekend for me.
The series with the O's starting tomorrow now is as close to a must win as there may be.
One run over 18 innings. Ugh.
Three big games in Baltimore starting tonight. Wake up guys.
We just have to win this series.
As it always has been, is now, and always will be, there is ONLY ONE STAT, and that is WINS.
Pineda has been listed to start Wednesdays game.
