The 2016 Major League Baseball season starts today. The New York YANKEES first game will be tomorrow in New York against the Houston Astros. The starting rotation has been decided, the twenty-five man roster has been decided, and tomorrow the drive for the playoffs will begin. This is not fantasy baseball, played by stat fraud fools who live by meaningless individual statistics, this is real baseball where winning is determined by what all players on each team contribute to help their team win the most often. These contributions are measured by wins and players producing at the right time, when it matters, and not by how much or how many stats they produce for themselves as their team fails.
The injury bug has bitten the YANKEES, as it has bitten every team in one way or another. First baseman Greg Bird is likely out for the season. Pitcher Brian Mitchell may be out approximately three months, and pitcher Andrew Miller with a broken bone in his non throwing wrist may have been the luckiest, and will lose no playing time.
Several YANKEE WIN METHOD youngsters are blooming and growing and are on the roster to start the season, and several more are on the near horizon and will start their season in the minors.
Several years ago the WIN METHOD made a concerted effort to find pitching talent each season and the YANKEES drafted many of these youngsters. The time is here for some of these youngsters and the time for others is just around the corner.
The YANKEE management led by the brilliant dealing of General Manager Brian Cashman have added several new players to this seasons roster and have deepened the bench for 2016. Also, three very possible future stars are so near. Catcher Gary Sanchez, right fielder Aaron Judge, and shortstop Jorge Mateo are getting closer to the major league roster every day. Playing regularly in the minors right now is best for them and their development. But they will soon be heard from.
Remember fans, it is a long season, there will be ups and downs, and as always only wins and winning will be the determining factor on which teams earn playoffs spots and go on to the second season. Let the stat fraud fools play their fantasy games. We will play for real baseball and root for our team to win and root for the contributions of each player to help our team win.
LETS GO YANKEES

Here's to a winning season.
Thanks again WIN METHOD. Lets go Yankees. Love ya,
The younger Yanks are coming and will lead the way.
The young home grown relievers and starters right now and in the next year or two are going to be the key to success.
One game at a time, one win at a time.
Just have to produce when it counts most. Both the pitchers and hitters.
Also win each series one at a time.
first post. Yankee fan from India.
Likely chance of rain in NYC for tomorrows opener.
lol at this blog
Then they play the opener on Tuesday.
Hi Logic Lover, great isn't it.
I waited this long for baseball, one more day won't be the end of the world.
Yankee 25 man roster consists of 12 pitchers and 12 fielders and 1 who can't do either, nor run.
Very nice candycane, very nice.
Welcome Asoka. Post your thoughts and views often.
Lets go Yankees. Lets win it all.
So glad baseball is here. Watching the Mets/Royals right now. Go royals.
Best of luck to the Yankees.
Winning is what matters.
Four hours to game time. Lets go Yankees.
Raining now in the Bronx and the forecast is for showers and rain on and off. Looking iffy for playing.
Teena, our weather girl, when it matters.
Todays game has officially been canceled.
Just have to wait another day.
I get lucky. Couldn't take off today but am off tomorrow.
Lets win game one.
Why doesn't MLB try to start all the games to open the season in the domed and southern ballparks?
Cal. that would require some thought.
Cooler weather slated for tomorrow, but dry.
I'm chomping at the bit.
Just play WIN METHOD baseball.
Would love to win tomorrow and beat one of the best pitchers in baseball.
Lets try again today.
Todays the day. We open the season.
Temperature in NY right now 30 with wind chill of 20. Not really baseball weather, but the show must go on.
Hicks starting in left in place of Gardner today.
Would be great to win today.
Half hour to first pitch.
Lets go Yankees, lets go Masahiro.
The Stadium is packed to the gills. Lets go Yankees.
Nothing changes, the black hole hits into a DP in his first at bat to kill off a rally.
0-0 after 1.
Yanks lead 2-0 after 2.
The brilliance of Joe Girardi. Girardi bats Castro 8th, to the dismay of almost all stat frauds, so Castro in his first Yankee at bat comes up with 2 men on and delivers a 2 rbi double.
Yanks up 2-1 after 4.
Yanks 2-1 after 5. Tanaka pretty good stuff.
2-2 after 6.
Shreve in game for Yanks in 7th. 2-2 score.
Betances blows our first game of the season.
Pineda tonight. Lets even the series.
No no no no bueno yesterday.
Gotta win the first one.
Really don't want to lose 5 or 6 in a row to start the season.
We gave up runs yesterday because of unforced errors.
Don't forget, the team is handicapped, having to play the black hole afraud.
Hope Pineda throws a great game tonight.
Yankees score six times in first inning for a 6-1 lead.
Yanks up 6-1 after 1.
Pineda crashes and burns in 2nd giving up grand slam. Yanks up 6-5 coming to bat in 2nd.
Yanks counter with 3 run HR by Castro. Yanks 9-5 after 2.
Yanks lead 9-5 after 2 in a wild one.
12-6 Yanks after 5.
Yanks up 13-6 after 6.
Nova goes four innings of scoreless ball for the save. Yanks win 16-6.
Final Yanks win 13-6.
Theeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnn.
Eovaldi today for the series win. Lets go Yankees.
Would be good to take first series of season. Hope we didn't waste too many runs yesterday.
Castro has been great. Great deal by Cashman.
Pineda did not pitch well. Hopefully Eovaldi will be better.
Heavy rains approaching. Does not look good for a game today.
Update, storms are moving very fast. Have had heavy rains. There may be a window to play game if field is safe enough.
Todays Yankee lineup posted. Same as last nights.
Yankees trail 3-2 after 3.
5-5 after 5. Eovaldi out after 5. Did not pitch well, but good enough to keep his team in the game.
Yankees take 8-5 lead after 7 on Teixeira 3 run HR.
8-5 Yanks after 7.
Yankee bullpen holds the fort and earns the win. Yates, Shreve, Betances, 6th, 7th, and 8th scoreless innings as the Yankees take an 8-5 lead batting in the 8th. Miller likely for the 9th.
Yankees win 8-5.
Miller struggles but puts game in the books for a win.
Final Yanks win 8-5.
Theeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnn.
The YANKEES defeated the Astros this afternoon, winning 8-5, to win their first series of the season. Nathan Eovladi pitched five innings allowing five runs and left the game with the score tied, keeping his team in the game. The YANKEE bullpen of Yates in the 6th, Shreve in the 7th, Betances in the 8th, and Miller in the 9th earned the win for Shreve, the hold for Betances, and the save for Miller, with four scoreless innings.
Louie Louie starts tomorrow in Detroit opener.
So far so good guys. Lets win another series.
Bullpen has been great and can only get better with Chapman suspension over next month.
Louie Louie, be the man. Be the ace.
Interesting lineup today. McCann, Beltran, and afraud all not in lineup.
Yanks trail 1-0 after 2.
Yanks down 1-0 after 3.
Yanks down 3-0 after 5.
Yanks down 4-0 after 7.
Yankees go down 4-0. You don't score, you can't win.
Yanks go down 4-0. Just 4 hits.
Four games. The two best pitched games by the starters, the team lost. the two bad games by the starters, the team won. Pretty much divines why only wins matter, over any other stat the frauds espouse.
CC on tap this afternoon in Detroit, weather permitting. It is going to be cold and CC does not do well in cold weather.
Light snow falling in Detroit right now.
Well CC will get his chance to prove himself again.
If CC does not perform well, I wonder how long a leash he will have.
2-0 Yankees after 2.
6-2 Yankees after 4.
8-2 Yanks after 5.
CC first Yankee pitcher to go six innings this season. Leads 6-2 after 6. One bad inning when he walked three, two scored on the first hit in the game he gave up.
Final. 8-4 win for CC and Yanks.
Theeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnn.
Shreve, Betances and Miller close it out for an 8-4 win.
Nice win and hopefully a confidence builder for CC.
Really, CC had just one bad inning. And that was after the Yankees had a long inning putting up four runs to take a 6-0 lead. Walked 3 of the 4 he gave up in the game.
Lets take this series and move on. Lets go Yankees.
Tomorrow is the despicable espn Sunday night game. A night game in Detroit no less. How stupid.
Yep, it's 8am Sunday morning and I (we) have to wait 12 hours for our teams baseball game. May espn rot forever.
The worst is the talking heads at espn are the worst of the worst.
To win tonight and take the first tow series of the season would be a big positive.
While every team plays baseball the Yankees and Tigers wait and wait and wait to play a game for espn, the dregs of baseball information.
Snowing in Detroit right now. The game is still 8 hours away.
Is it 8 oclock yet.
Looking at the weather maps, I would think it would be very hard to play tonight.
Tonights game has been mercifully canceled. Rot in hell espn.
No game is good for me. I can go to bed and have no problem getting to work on time.
No game today and an off day tomorrow. Plenty of rest for the team.
Get na off day because of icy, snowy, rainy, cold weather and your in Detroit. What a downer.
You don't dare set foot outside your hotel.
Off day today and then three games in Toronto starting tomorrow. They have a roof.
When you play in the north this early in the season there is always the chance of bad weather. The teams with roofs are nice stops along your route knowing there will be no cancellations.
My assessment of the Yankee team after five games. No real negatives. So far so good.
The rotation gets nudged one spot. Tanaka, Pineda, and Eovaldi go against the Jays.
Tanaka goes tonight at Toronto.
The Yanks have lost the first game of both series played.
Taking this series would be making an early statement.
Lets sweep.
Sweeping is the goal, but I can live with two of three.
Start the series on the right foot guys.
Game time, lets go Yankees.
Yanks trail 2-1 after 3. Tanaka over 70 pitches in 3 innings.
2-2 after 6.
All even at 2 thru 6.
Yanks up 3-2 after 7. It's the bullpens game.
Final, Yankees win 3-2.
Bullpen does it again for the win. Barbato 6th, Shreve 7th, Betances 8th, Miller 9th.
Theeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnn.
Mike, it was the bullpens game and they did their job. Good call.
One win at a time. Keep grinding.
WIN METHOD rules.
Headley had one heck of a game last night. Several brilliant defensive plays.
Great start to the Blue Jay series last night. Don't let up, do it again tonight.
Pineda tonight. He has too much good stuff to not be dominating the way he should. Put it together Mike.
Many guys did outstanding jobs last for the win. That is what the WIN METHOD is all about. One person means little. Many persons means a lot. I agree, Headley played outstanding defense last night and so far this season.
Was reading some posts of the brain dead at a baseball forum I posted at and was ousted because I upset the brain dead with a combined IQ of 16. They are whining and crying already. Complaining about almost everything and making up trades of several different players. Thank God for this blog and common sense.
No let up tonight guys. Pitch and hit, win as a team, everyone contributes. Lets go Yankees.
Steve, many here have been down that road. Stat frauds when challenged with logic and common sense, lash out any way they can in the worst ways possible. Many are a product of the dumbing down of America.
Mow them down big Mike. Lets go Yankees.
Steve, wolfie, you guys are much to kind to the know nothings you are talking about.
No score after one.
Yanks down 1-0 after 4.
Yankees down 3-1 after 6.
Yanks trail 3-1 after 6. Pineda has been decent.
This blog was more fun when it was about baseball, now it's more about name-calling and ridiculing others...
Yanks cut Jay lead to 3-2 in 8th and then Nova comes in to pitch 8th and throws batting practice being hit hard by every Jay batter. Gives up 4 runs to give Jays 7-2 lead after 8.
Yanks down 7-2 after 8.
Sarah, I see the truth hurts and you can't handle the truth.
Final 7-2 loss.
Better to lose by 5 than 1. It's still just one loss.
Eovaldi goes in the rubber game tomorrow. Lets win it.
Steve-
What truth are you referring to that I can't handle? The truth is that you are acting in an extremely pretentious matter and taking the focus away from the Yankees and baseball. Your gossiping about posters in other blogs and how much smarter you are then them is bush league and childish, to say the least, and takes away from what really matters, the Yankees march to another championship. Hope they take the final game of the series tomorrow!
Good game last night, but didn't get a hit or two WHEN it would have mattered most. A game that could have been won.
Lets go Yankees take this series.
Sarah, what I am talking about is not gossip, it is fact that many here have been through. Never suggested I was smarter than posters in other forums, I stated that almost every poster here is smarter than them. Banning people is bush league, childish, and done by people who can't handle common sense and real baseball. They are better off left to play with themselves.
afraud should not be on the roster.
I second that Erica.
We need for one of our pitchers to throw a gem. All are capable, but it would be really nice to get 7 innings of shutout ball from a starter.
Taking this series is a nice step forward.
Lets score early and put up several runs.
Hugh, most important, win.
Time for a win.
2-0 Yanks after 4.
Yanks down 4-2 after 7.
Final 4-2 loss.
Eovaldi goes 6 2/3 but loses 4-2.
Louie Louie goes tonight and he faces the dancing queen.
Would be very nice for Louie Louie to best the dancing queen tonight.
Why is Nathan Karns the dancing queen...?
afraud not in lineup tonight, that's a plus.
My mistake. I thought Felix 'dancing queen' Hernandez was starting tonight.
Sol, I say Hernandez listed also. I thought he was starting tonight. I guess CC goes against him tomorrow.
4-4 after 8 games. Take this series and move forward.
Severino time.
Yanks up 1-0 after 3.
Yankees trail 3-1 after 5 as batters fail time after time WHEN it would count.
Yanks down 4-1 after 6 and leave the bases loaded failing to produce when it mattered.
Yanks go down 7-1 and played lackadaisical baseball. Did not produce one time when it would have mattered most. Go look at the box score and see the runners left on base by almost everyone in the lineup.
One heck of a lousy game last night. U_G_L_Y.
I have it fight today. CC Sabathia will start for the Yankees against the Mariners Felix 'dancing queen' Hernandez.
Wake up guys.
Did anyone see the camera shot of the dancing queen during last nights game?
Lets see what CC brings to the table today.
More important, lets see what the hitters bring today.
0-0 after 1. Yanks leave 2 men on in 1st.
0-0 after 2. Yanks leave bases loaded in 2nd. The pendulum will eventually swing our way.
