The YANKEES have reached the end of their fantastic 2017 season. And a great season it was, accomplishing more than any pundits and most fans expected. But not here at the WIN METHOD, where it was stated the YANKEES would make the playoffs and beyond, and where likely every WIN METHOD fan believed would happen. The YANKEES not only reached the playoffs, but they won the wild card game against the Minnesota Twins to advance to the American League Division Series (ALDS). In the ALDS the YANKEES had the Cleveland Indians waiting for them to play a best of five game series. The Indians won 102 games during the season and were looking to go back to the World Series where they lost in seven games last season. The Indians won the first two games and the YANKEES had their backs to the wall. You WIN METHOD fans, the smartest most intelligent baseball fans never gave up, you rooted your team on, never gave up, and the YANKEES themselves never game up as they went on to defeat the Indians in the next three games. An amazing comeback for the YANKEES. By winning the ALDS the YANKEES moved on to the American League Championship Series (ALCS) where they had the Houston Astros waiting for them. Houston won 101 games over the season and are a young developing great team. The ALCS is a best of seven game series and the winner goes to the World Series and the losing team ends their season. The Astros won the first two games of the series and the YANKEES again had their backs to the wall. The YANKEES never gave up and neither did you WIN METHOD fans. The YANKEES came back to win the next three games of the series. The YANKEES just needed to win one of the next two games in Houston to go to the World Series. The Astros had other thoughts in mend and they also never gave up and the Astros came back to win the two games in Houston and move on to the World Series. The YANKEE season was over. But the blooming and growing was just beginning. The 2017 YANKEES achieved more than the baseball world expected. The WIN METHOD fans were not surprised, WIN METHOD fans being the most intelligent and knowledgeable in baseball were well aware of what their YANKEE team could achieve as the youngsters started to bloom and grow.
Congratulations to the YANKEE players, coaches, management, front office, and ownership for allowing the YANKEE team to bloom and grow.
The off season has arrived for the YANKEES. Time to kick back, rest, relax, and do the things you want to do and the things that you don't have time to do during the season. Enjoy guys, you made you proud and your run is just beginning. During the off season the YANKEE front office will have many decisions to make regarding player personnel. No question the roster for 2018 will change, some new players will come and some will go. The YANKEES are in a position of great power having the best minor league system in baseball and many many players blooming and growing trying to make the 2018 roster and challenge veteran players. The front office has work to do, hard decisions to make, and make them they will.
On a side note, you the WIN METHOD fans, fans from all over the world have made it possible for the WIN METHOD blog, the greatest Yankee and baseball blog/forum in the world to surpass a quarter of a billion views. Thank you fans for your devotion and passion, for being smartest baseball fans that exist, and for standing up against stat frauds and their misguided fools view of baseball.

Have fun everyone in the off season. I will go out and find a few more WIN METHOD players to bloom and grow down the road. Spring training 2018 is going to be a lot of fun as the kids make their push for the majors, the brightest lights and the biggest stage in baseball, the New York YANKEES. Yes they can, and they will. Lets go Yankees.
