This is the hardest blog post I have ever done. The retirement of all time great and the best player in Major League Baseball for the past twenty seasons, Derek Jeter has hit me hard. The best player and one of the very first players drafted by Mr.S. (rip) and the YANKEES is gone and the hole he leaves offensively and defensively as the best shortstop in baseball is enormous. However, we must move on.
The YANKEES for 2015 will be fine and are reloading. With a very deep and talented starting rotation, albeit a starting rotation with much to prove, do not be surprised if this team performs far above expectations of the pundits and so called talking head experts. Didi Gregorius has been tabbed to replace Jeter at shortstop, which in reality can never be done. Didi needs to be himself, do what he does best and must not let the comparisons to Jeter get to him. Chase Headley has been given the third base position and that may be one of the best moves the YANKEES have made in the off season. The basic starting team will be McCann c. Teixeira 1b. Drew 2b. Headley 3b. Gregorius ss. Gardner lf. Elsbury cf. and Beltran rf. The YANKEES have a boatload of very promising minor leaguers, some of which who will undoubtedly be heard from over the 2015 season.
During the off season the YANKEES lost closer David Robertson, but have gotten better and deeper in the bullpen with the maturation of Betances and the signing of Miller. The closer spot has not been decided and possibly no one will be named. From start to finish the YANKEE pitching staff will be exemplary and carry the team a long way. The lineup on the other hand will have to come together and several players will have to step up their game over last seasons effort. The loss of Jeter, the leader, the captain, will leave a gaping hole that will have to filled by everyone in the lineup stepping up their performance.
Personally, I had an almost non-stop off season with interviews and evaluations. By my choice I am now on a year to year proprietary deal with the Steinbrenner sons. But they are not Mr.S. Hopefully, they will make the decisions that are best for the team, the fans, and winning.
I've noticed the stat frauds are almost non-existent here anymore. You guys and gals have done a great job beating them off, refuting and disproving their garbage man made formulas that are meaningless and useless. WINS and WINNING will always define the best players and teams. I will try to post more often this season and glad you are still here and growing the best baseball blog in the world, the WIN METHOD.
To conclude............LETS GO YANKEES.

Yankees blow game open in 7th. Lead 13-3.
Theeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnn.
Pinder mops up the 8th and Rumbelow the 9th for a 13-3 final.
Good start to the sux series with the win last night. Now for Severinos debut tonight.
We can take this series tonight. And do it with a first time starter.
Severino will be a future star. I have faith in WIN METHOD. The man is golden and knows baseball talent better than anyone.
Get us another win Teena. Enjoy the game.
Yanks down 1-0 after 3. Unearned run on Headley error.
Severino goes five. Leaves trailing 2-0, but only one run earned. Seven K's. Looked very solid. Yank bats MIA so far.
Yanks down 2-0 after 6.
Beltran HR in 7th. Yanks down 2-1 after 7.
Yanks go down fighting, losing 2-1.
Real tough loss. That's happens to many times after wasted runs in a big win.
Final 2-1 loss.
If we only had two of the meaningless stat fraud runs from the 13-3 win last night.
If only the world knew how irrelevant and misleading sabremetrics are.
I love 1 run wins and hate 1 run losses. Nothing better than a blow out loss and nothing worse than a blow out win.
CC in a rubber game. Can he do it?
Scoreless after 2.
1-1 after 6. Bats fail in 5th when it mattered most.
Ellsbury HR in 7th puts Yankees up 2-1. Betances/Miller time.
2-1 Yankee win. Betances hold, Miller save.
Fianal 2-1 win.
Great six innings from CC. Then 3 shutout innings from bullpen for win, hold, and save.
Next up, Toronto.
Toronto is hot and will be tough this weekend. Yes we can, yes we can.
Big weekend in New York. The top two teams in AL East meet. Eovaldi, Nova, Tanaka listed for Yankees.
Winning this series would be another step forward.
Shut them down Eovaldi, be the ace.
1-1 after 2.
1-1 thru 3.
1-1 after 5.
Six innings 1-1. No bats again, but Eovaldi is pitching his heart out keeping Yanks alive.
1-1 after 7. Yankee bullpen in game.
1-1 after 7.
1-1 after 8.
1-1 after 8.
Overtime, extra innings. 1-1.
1-1 after 9.
Pinder allows HR in 10th. Yanks coming to bat for last chance down by 1.
game over loss 2-1.
Three 2-1 games in a row. No bats again. Rotten loss.
We got a lot of work to do these next two games.
The worst kind of loss. We need some runs.
Nova today, but we won't win unless we score runs. No time to stop hitting.
Lets go Yankees.
0-0 after 2.
0-0 after 4.
Scoreless after 4. Bats silent.
Nova gives up grand slam in 6th. Yankees trail 4-0 mid sixth.
Yanks down 4-0 after 6.
Down 6-0 after 8. This will make for the first series loss since the all star break. Desperately need a win tomorrow to avoid the sweep and that will mean just a one game loss in standings to Jays instead of three.
Final 6-0 loss.
Final Yanks loss 6-0.
Last four game Yanks have scored fur runs. Not good at all.
It's not a must win tomorrow. But a win for the Yankees would be very big right now.
Tanaka this afternoon to avoid the sweep, but that will only happen if the Yankee bats wake up and support the pitchers. afraud has skidded into his black hole and is most noticeable as the pressure of each game mounts on the run to the playoffs.
Yep, Afraud is awful. Only hits .301 with 10 homers when the Yankees are behind! Clearly only plays good when the team is bad. When Yankees are winning he hits .261 with 2 homers. What a fraud, can't hit for good teams.
Wake up guys, the winners are the ones who come home the best and reach the finish lines with the most wins. Despite what the stat fraud imbeciles try to tell you, wins and only wins determine the best.
We need ALL players to contribute. We need to win.
Todays game may be bigger than many people think.
Yanks down 1-0 after 2.
There is no question that afraud has produced more than anyone here expected this season. And yes, he was a big factor in a few wins. But, and this is a very big BUT, he is a one dimensional player who can only DH. He can't run the bases, and when he hits a ground ball and a fielder can get to it, he will always be out and easily out even if the fielder boots the ball and can keep it within a few feet. He is useless and can't play in the field. He can't go first to third on a hit, he can't score from first on a double. He has failed countless times being able to score a runner from third with less than two out. To conclude afraud in a variety of ways has cost more games than he has helped win and is in the big picture a negative for the team.
Yankees down 2-0 after 5. Bats look sad.
Yanks down 2-0 after 7, Can anyone remember the last time a Yankee delivered with RISP.
Yanks down 2-0 after 8. 25 consecutive scoreless innings for Yankee lineup.
Game over, Yanks go down 2-0.
Finall 2-0 loss. and 26 straight scoreless innings.
Think positive, we are still in first place.
Remember Yankee fans. WIN METHOD fact. You are never as good as when you are playing your best, and you are never as bad as when you are playing your worst.
Payback is the sweetest revenge.
Look at it this way. It's August 9th and we are in first place.

How sweet a sweep would be tomorrow. WIN METHOD fans are brilliant and the smartest most knowledgeable fans in all baseball.

Yankee rookie Brian Mitchell smashed in face by batted ball. No word on seriousness yet.
5-4 Yankees after 3.
Yanks up 5-4 after 3. McCann with all 5 RBIs.
McCann and Beltran produce when it counts for last nights win. afraud produces nothing with another black hole game.
Word is Mitchell will pitch again this year. Great news.
Sabathia tonight to try to clinch this series.
No matter what the stat frauds say this is going to come down to wins and only wins. And the best players and teams will WIN their way into the playoffs. The others will go him no matter what their individual stats may be.

CC on DL and likely out for the season.
0-0 thru 6.
0-0 after 8. Eovaldi was brilliant. Lineup was pathetic, but it ain't over yet.
Beltran sac fly wins it 1-0 in 9th.
Eovaldi is surely the ace of this Yankee staff. Great outing again last night.
One run and a win. Could have been won earlier with an out or a hit.
We are tied for first with 38 games left. Yes we can.
Nova tonight. Hope he is on his game. We need all the wins we can get.

Yanks down 1-0 after 3.
Down 5-0 after 5 and not looking good.
Day off after losing another series and falling two games out of first place. A regeneration is sorely needed.
