It is that time again WIN METHOD fans. The 2019 baseball season has concluded. The best teams and the best players made it to the playoffs and after advancing through the playoffs by winning each series and eliminating each team they played, the Washington Nationals won the World Series and are the best baseball team and the best baseball players in the world. Congratulations to the Nationals for all you have accomplished. There is only one way for a team and for players to become the best of the best, and that is with wins and winning. No individual stat matters. Only wins and winning make you the best. Sorry stat frauds, when you learn this you will learn real baseball.
Yes, the 2019 season is over. The YANKEES did their best and it was not good enough as they lost to the Houston Astros in the American League Championship Series. However, it looked like the YANKEES took enough out of the Astros that it may have cost them winning the World Series. The YANKEES will need some work to do this winter to find and to put together the last few pieces they need to become the best of the best. Considering the massive amounts of crippling injuries our YANKEE team had to endure over the season, making the playoffs was a fine achievement in itself. But that was the past. Now we look to the future.
There are likely as many opinions as there are YANKEE fans on what the team needs to do over the winter to '"win it all" in 2020. There is the free agent route with several pieces available, there are our own pieces available who if healthy for an entire season will help, and then there are own in house pieces available that are blooming and growing in the minors. Several of which may contribute greatly in 2020. There are also trade possibilities that may become on option.
YANKEE management will be busy this winter. How much money to spend on talent. Is the money spent worth the investment? Paying players very high salaries for multiple years is seldom a remedy, and in fact has hurt teams who have gone that route more than it has helped them, The trade route is a possibility, but it takes two parties to make a deal that each party feels is good for their team. Then there is the bloom and grow route. Spring training will provide some answers, but the hot stove will be only ashes before spring training provides some answers. We will just have to see what happens and how things shake out this winter and spring. Each decision made by management determines how and what the next decision may be. Throwing money at big contracts is up to management. You WIN METHOD fans know my opinion on big long term contracts, 'just say no'. We said no to Harper and Machado last year and it paid dividends over the season as the YANKEES made the playoffs even with all the injuries. Harper and Machado each cost their team a lot of dollars and neither team made the playoffs and are saddled with many years of an overpaid single piece of talent.
Lets all have a fun hot stove season, keep offering your opinions, thoughts, and ideas, and be happy you are not the one making the decisions. Remember fans, the YANKEE management team has more knowledge and information than you (we) do. There must be financial limits and that is one thing everyone should remember. So, here we go, let's turn on the stove and see what we can cook up. LETS GO YANKEES.

No attendance until virus is controlled. Works for me.
Besides the 7 domed stadiums you could play in warm weather stadiums such as Atlanta, Arlington, San Diego, LA, Anaheim. Then how about a few college ballparks in the south.
When the great President Trump allows some people to go back to work again in some areas of the country that is when it is possible the MLB 'puck puck' chicken powers that be will start thinking about baseball games again.
I would like to hear from any posters who can find something significantly wrong with WIN METHODS ideas for playing baseball this season. I can only believe valid medical scenarios would be the drawback.
Wilsonsway, there will always be naysayers looking for fault with anything. I just want baseball back and this virus disease gone.
MLB should pay heed to WIN METHOD, he has put forward a very logical and feasible answer to the possibility of playing baseball this season.
We must be positive and we have a leader and administration that is doing just that.
Baseball will be played this season.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said owners, players, and players union all are willing and all want to play baseball this season. All details will be worked out when and if a starting date becomes feasible.
Let it be, baseball is America's game and only game. Baseball and apple pie. Let it be.
Stanton is fully recovered and ready to start season.
I believe that the problem here in Italy was caused by the Chinese moving here over the past several years to produce their clothing lines and being able to use a 'Made in Italy' label on them. They established their factories in northern Italy where our coronavirus outbreak killed thousands of our citizens. Many of them are from and travel back and forth to the Wuhan area in China. The Chinese are killing us and hiding their culpability.
Giuseppe Betto, I heard that on the news here in America, take care guy.
I hope businesses are allowed to start opening soon. We need to get back to normal sooner than later.
I can see the start of baseball by June 1st.
I want my baseball now!
Here is a post from another Yankee site posted 10:56 this morning..... """Playing baseball in 2020 isn't feasible."""
We all know why the losers post everywhere but here.
Steve, the people who are so negative in their outlook are the losers of life's lottery. When you are negative, can't, won't, no, and never are what the losers live by. Very sad people to know and or be around.
For the brain dead poster who posted """Playing baseball in 2020 isn't feasible.""" on another site. THERE WILL BE BASEBALL THIS SEASON
Semi lock down for April bodes well for a June 1st possible baseball season.
USNS COMFORT in Hudson River port looks beautiful. Thank you president Trump.
OK, no more political elections. Trump stays on as President and the libs go berserk. It's a win win WIN METHOD for everyone who is sane.
Deb F....roflol
We should know much more over the next few weeks about a lot of things going on in our country
now. Only once the Chinese coronavirus is under control will things get back to normal. Only then can baseball think about starting up this year. Things change very fast.
Why wasn't everything shut down during the swine flu epidemic in 2009. Thousands upon thousands Americans died.
Can't wait until we turn the corner on this pandemic garbage. The people and the country will skyrocket upward.
Baseball is our national pastime. America needs baseball. America will have baseball. Guaranteed.
We need to just get over the hump.
According to the stat frauds, 'who needs real baseball'. We all know individual stats tell us everything we know about each player and each players WAR tells how much better or worse than the average player they are. All we need to do is play each game on paper, simulate it, and then stream each game for the fans. Voila, we reach the playoffs and go from there thru the playoffs and World Series. The baseball issue is resolved and we have baseball to watch. Albeit fake.
Yanks23245, the stat frauds are always good for laughs and lighten the mood. Especially with
what we are all going thru.
Several possible coronavirus deterrents being worked on and may be close.
Once President Trump starts slowly but surely starts allowing companies to open and people back to work things will move upward and get back to normal. The population needs to get its mind off of this Chinese virus and start talking about other things, such as sports. But alas, I am afraid the liberal scum democrat media will keep every death and any negative issue, even if they make them up, in the news for a long time. They have been trying to take this America first, people first President down since the day he was elected. No matter, lets go Yankees. Written from the left wing cesspool run city and state of New York.
Teena/Bronx, Strong words. True words also. I left the city several years ago and know where you are coming from. Hope you are safe as much as you can be. Be well, you are one of my favorite posters here. Also, lets go Yankees.
Teena/Bronx, I'm in north Jersey. I feel your pain. We need to get things moving forward again and Trump is just the one man who can do it. Lets go Yankees.
Teena/Bronx, you speak for many. Stay safe and well. Go Yankees.
Everyone wherever you are in the world. Follow the guidelines for safety you are given. We will beat this.
Coronavirus are April showers that will bring May flowers. Think and be positive. Negativism and the liberal media are losers.
Let's go WIN METHOD Yankee fans we will defeat this virus and we will win. Lets go Yankees.
Teena/Bronx, thank you for your post, it was needed. We shall overcome. Yes we can and we will.
My hope is Trump tries to get all American companies out of China. Let China rot in hell. Let's go completely self sufficient.
My view is we turn the corner some time this month, see improvement thru May and start moving quicker to normal in June. Lets go Yankees. Win it all this season.
Teena/Bronx, hear hear.
All hail Teena/Bronx. She said what most sane people know. Those who don't know will believe in the opposite.
It took Trump to us self sufficient with oil and gas. We have been self sufficient with food.
We can be self sufficient with material/manufactured products. Just have to give up the cheap labor in foreign countries. Make it happen.
Agree, let's become totally self sufficient and then when those people who don't like that we are totally self sufficient complain, give them all a one way ticket wherever they want to go.
I hear NY governor Cuomo everyday. What a dirtbag. Gloom and doom. Worse of all, totally incompetent left wing radical imbecile. De Blasio may even be worse. Teena is 100% right.
I wish Trump didn't shut down the country. I think he was cornered into it by the CDC and other pressures. If he didn't shut down the country he alone would have been blamed for every single death. The corrupt press would have finally buried him after all this time trying. The final death toll will be infinitesimal by years end. Possibly less than a quarter of one percent. That would be just a fraction of almost all causes of death.
Zack Norris, You can't win no matter what happens. If your input is correct, you will be told that the shut down made it happen. If you are wrong, you will be vilified for suggesting something so stupid.
No question we need baseball bad.
Think positive everyone. In Trump we have a man in charge who will do whatever it takes as fast as possible to get us out of this Chinese mess, save lives, and get the country moving forward again, just as he did after the disastrous obama administration.
Could the virus reach it's apex in the next several days? Hope it does.
When they get the word to go MLB will be ready to play baseball.
What a great news conference from Trump and coronavirus task force this afternoon, so uplifting and positive.
Mario/Staten Island, Yes, very emotional also. I am sure it may have brought many to tears.
Another day, another day to move forward and defeat the coronavirus, another day to the final win. Yes we can, yes we will. We win only because we are the best.
This is the finest baseball forum I have ever been to. Great information, great comments, great posters. It's all here.
Hogan Chapman, welcome, and thank you for the kind words. Keep posting your views and thoughts.
We can see the corner. Let's turn the corner.
I got out of China forty years ago. The best thing I ever did for my family. God bless America and God bless President trump.
Thank you for being a great American Mr. Chin.
This blog is a melting pot of people from all over the world. Everyone is welcome. Heck we even welcome the stat frauds. No post has EVER been blocked on this blog unless it contained foul language. We love and accept all views and opinions and love a diversity of views. Post and be happy.
I fell in love with baseball when my father took me to my first game. Learned the rules and have been a fan ever since. Yes a Yankee fan.
Latest rumor is MLB and player association talking about playing all baseball games in Arizona this season. Hot weather is supposed to lower the virus possibility.
Let's play some baseball this season. Yes we can, yes we will. Snivelling is for the losers.
The dummkopf stat frauds can't seem to figure out how baseball can be played and still observe "social distancing". I guess they are not smart enough to understand that social distancing will be lifted to a great extent as the Chinese coronavirus is slowly defeated. Think, you idiots.
Let's play baseball.
If baseball is played in Arizona, the season can go into December.
The impression I am getting is there will be a 2020 MLB season in some shape or form because there is no way to play a 162 game season unless they really do go into December.
This country needs to open back up sooner than later. But when Trump starts to open the country in whatever way is decided he will get blamed for every single death going forward by the corrupt foul disgraceful media, democrats, liberals, progressives and rest of the haters of America.
You know Trump is doing great work for the country with the most people ever working, the lowest unemployment rate, and business booming. Just look to see who the people are that are criticizing him and all he has accomplished. That is all any intelligent person needs to know. Vote Trump.
Happy Easter everyone.
Think positive, baseball will be back, the country will be back, and Trump will be back.
This pandemic garbage is nothing to what Jesus Christ endured 2020 years ago. Revere the season in solemn prayer at home with your family. God bless!
A Yankee baseball brightspot of this shutdown is that Aaron Judge should get completed healed for the start of the shortened season. Even Paxton could be ready to go.
Todays joke.. Gary meatball Sanchez has been taking batting practice daily and is up to hitting one of every ten pitches hard. 2 swing and misses, 1 foul ball, 2 grounders, 3 outfield flies, 1 line drive to left center, and 1 450 foot shot well over the centerfield fence. Talk around the cage was he is in midseason form and ready to go.
Jerry Curcio, just what is needed, a little humor, sometimes humor is found in reality.
Happy Easter, hope the bunny makes his rounds safely. I miss baseball.
Guy Padikian, we all miss baseball. Hard to say have a good holiday since most of us have been on a forced holiday. No matter, happy Easter and Passover.
With all reverence, happy Easter season to everyone of all denominations throughout the world.
Our nation needs to get back to work sooner than later, much sooner. I was going to add another sentence, but it is Good Friday so I will repent. Happy Easter.
Happy Easter. God bless a free America.
Here come Peter Cottontail hopping down the bunny trail. Stay safe everyone. Happy Easter.
Global warming and the environment is meaningless compared to what mother nature can do and that we can never change or control. So stop the global warming baloney and lies. Mother nature controls what we live through and right now we are living through a global pandemic. Wake up people. We will make it through this and we will survive. Happy Easter, be it as it may.
Happy Easter.
Happy Easter. Call someone or two or more you know.
Happy Easter and best of health to WIN METHOD fans and all those who know real baseball.
I posted this late March and will stick with it.

Hello WIN METHOD fans. Even with the Chinese coronavirus and the shut down of baseball your WIN METHOD blog, the number one and best Yankee forum, site, blog in existence has just crossed 800 million views (800,000,000). The mark was crossed about two weeks longer than anticipated and that was likely do to the events we are all enduring right now. Thank you all, for your posts expressing your comments, opinions, and views. The WIN METHOD blog has readers and posters from all over the world. Thank you all for making the WIN METHOD the best in the world and number one in the world. Baseball will be back.
bigbadwolf, wow that is an amazing number.
It's nice to be part of being the best.
Trump to name task force this week to open up country. Likely to see openings in May. Just do it.
Baseball season will start depending on how long teams think players will need to be ready. They already had a month on training. The shutdown is for now, but I could see baseball in June, absolutely no latter than July. Could easily play 100+ games, then post season.
I knew I came to the right place when I started to post here. Now all I need is some baseball to post about.
The coronavirus modelers have made fools of themselves just like the climate change modelers who have never been right once since their inception of their fake climate change. That is a FACT folks. Look it up, just not on a fake stat site.
Fantastic briefing from the task force and Trump tonight. Trump buried the fake media.
I hope baseball doesn't do anything to crazy with the scheduling of games this season. A simple logical common sense schedule of teams in their own division and their own league would be fine. No inter-league games this season. 5 team division, you play 12 games with each team = 48. Then play the other 10 teams in your league 4 each = 40. 48=40=88 game season. Then the playoffs as normal.
Hank Steinbrenner, George Steinbrenner's eldest son died today at his home in Clearwater, Florida surrounded by his family. Hank was 63 years old and died from an undisclosed long running illness.
Note, I use to post by the name Steve. I have changed my posting name to Steve(winstheonlystat) starting today.
Cory, that works for me. Great idea.
Cory, I heard MLB is trying to come up with some convoluted garbage schedule. Probably their stat frauds are involved with that ignorant idea.
Steve(winstheonlystat}, winstheonlystat wasn't that the moniker you used at the stat fraud idiot NYYforum? You drove them insane, they had no answers to the common sense and logic. So they banned you. They are pretty much a dead place now, The good posters came here and joined the intelligent world.
With MLB looking at ways to play a 2020 baseball season, a season will be played. The question is what will the season look like. Cory's post makes for a simple, fair, and logical season perfectly. The MLB powers that be need to think and not complicat things.
If anyone can screw up baseball worse than the virus it is commissioner Manfred.
Depending on when they start the MLB season, as early as June 1, more games can be played easily reaching the 110+ range. As Cory said, eliminate the inter-league uneven schedule and balance games and you can come up with a really fair and unbiased season.
When baseball returns many people will be able to get their minds off the Chinese coronavirus and more occupied with some positiveness.
Sooner than later fans. Lets play ball.
Yes we can and yes we will. For country and Yankees.
If I am reading the tea leaves correctly it looks as if some small areas of the country will start to open by May 1st. Slowly but surely we will make America great again for a second time. Yes we can. Go Trump.
I can see once Trump starts allowing certain industries and certain areas of the country to open and go back to work, baseball may take a big part. Playing strictly in warm weather of Arizona/Florida baseball will help entertain people and start bringing back some sense of normality to many lives.
White Knight, we can never have sense and normality as long as people are willing to accept and endorse the liberal left wing of this country whose so goal is to destroy America and prevent Americans from being great and the best.
I hope the W.H.O. gets destroyed. Another lowlife liberal corrupt money laundering organization. Take down the U.N. too. Throw in the climate change folks also.
As of tonight's task force presser, it looks as if baseball is on the horizon sooner than later.
MLB should come up with their plan for this season, maybe as soon as this month, as to when they will start the season and how it will be played.
Whenever Cuomo speaks he says something stupid. He is a disgrace to New York and he is incompetent.
Gus Papa, from your mouth to Gods ears.
Worst of all Cuomo wants the federal government to pay for his stealing, corruption, and mismanagement of the state he runs into the ground. Just say no President Trump.
I could see baseball players wearing team face masks this season.
A pinstriped Yankee logo face mask. Sweet.
And the interlocking NY imprinted right in front over the nose and mouth.
Or a players number over one cheek and a small NY over the other cheek. Every team could do the same for their players. Then the kids could collect them like baseball cards.
As liberal democrats who have been out to "get Trump" since his election 3 1/2 years ago with made up stories, fake stories, lies, and out and out corruption and deceit, Trump who has done everything he could to make America great again, and has, now is dealing with a deadly Chinese conceived virus and is opening up the federal coffers to keep the American working people solvent on one hand while planning to make America great again, again. All hail out brilliant commander and chief. Vote Republican in 2020 or suffer your doom at the hand of the radical liberal left democrats who will finally destroy America and the American way of freedom for all.
I see a lot of calls to "open America up again". This is an oversimplification.
I know five people who have died from this disease, as well as numerous hospital workers who have gone through hell and back the last few weeks.
The opening of America needs to be done on a state by state basis, we can't just open up America all at once, or we risk losing another 40,000+ lives.
Chuck, We all should be sorry for anyone's loss and sorry for everyone in the world who has lost their life because of this virus. I may have missed it, but I have not read one post here or heard anywhere that people want to open up America all at once and I don't think it should be. I read people saying certain areas should open open slowly and as Trump himself has stated, open up by phases and only after these areas have met specific guidelines. Then if all goes well for a period of time and after specific guidelines are met, go to a phase two and open up certain areas even more. Open each specific area only after the guidelines are met and not on a whim or just taking a flyer. Trump is a brilliant man, he knows what he is doing and is getting advice and opinions from countless other brilliant people in a myriad of fields of expertise. America and the American people just can't stop dead in their tracks forever and we must start growing again. I am sure their are some sad people around who want to see America fail and I can probably name a whole bunch of them. Slowly but surely let's make America great again one more time. And lets play some baseball.
There will be more lives lost to this virus no matter what is done or not done. If lives lost jump in an area that is opening slowly, I would think that area what quickly pull back and start over after meeting the criteria decided upon by the powers that be. If lives jump in areas not close to opening that would be sad and those areas just keep holding back until the time comes they meet the phase one opening criteria. But we must start to open as a country.
Debate point, what is better and what is worse.
An area of 10,000 people who has met the guidelines to open, opens and after 3 weeks 1 life is lost to the virus. At the same time another area of 10,000 does not open and continues to do what it is doing to try to meet the guidelines to open and after the same 3 weeks 2 lives are lost to the virus.
Chuck, you mentioned opening on a state by state basis. I do not think that is on the table right now. It will be an area by area basis, be it a county, a town, a city, etc.
Evan Donahue, I could live with the results from both towns. But I am not the one that is allowed to make the decision.
Frank
Don’t believe that’s right, in fact Georgia just announced a state wide opening starting Friday.
We will see how it goes, as they are ignoring the federal guidelines with this opening.
Chuck, Georgia following phase 1 guidelines.
https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/20/839338550/georgia-beginning-to-reopen-its-economy-lifting-some-coronavirus-crisis-limits
Hope all goes well in the places that start opening first.
Mark Wagoner, No question, Trump has everything under control, spending trillions of dollars trying to keep workers whole, and he knows that everyone will have to get back to work and the nation will have to get moving forward and upward again. All this country needs is for Trump to win in November and enough American voters to be sane enough to vote for republicans to win the senate and the house. If that happens America will see four years of unimaginable posterity like never before.
We have now over 40,000 deaths attributed to the Chinese coronavirus in the USA. One problem is, and it is a major problem, thousands of the deaths that are being attributed to the virus are not in reality caused by the virus. Different states count deaths attributed to the virus in different ways. The biggest issue in counting deaths and attributing them to the virus the state get thousands of dollars more from the federal government if the death is due to the virus. Makes for a lot of corruption.
We need baseball back so we can post about baseball again.
Small business's should be allowed to open first. Why are big box stores open with countless employees and shoppers while mom and pop business's with a few workers can't open. Let's go Trump, open up America again.
Best case scenario, as different states allow areas in their states to open, there are no major setbacks or issues. Other states and areas will then hopefully move to open and so on. Start opening now people.
When baseball starts up will they ban players with confronting umpires on disputed calls?
yankeeclipper, social distancing and a face mask on.
AMERICA first, right now more than ever before.
But if a pitcher throws at a batter and hits him, the batter must maintain social distancing.
Yes or no?
All hail Governor Kemp of Georgia. Wishing all in your state great success and health. Bury the naysayers.
The fools who have been modeling the death rate projections for Covid-19 have remodeled several times now and have yet to be right one time. Garbage in garbage out. Identical to the baseball stat frauds.
Doug Parker, I'm with you.
Going forward the whacked out looney left liberal socialist democrats of America will now officially blame every death in Georgia on Gov.Kemp.
Bury the naysayers? That’s awfully divisive, shouldn’t we all be in this together and rooting for everyone to succeed and be healthy?
Barb, I think Hobbs described who the naysayers are.
Barb, only in your mind and others who think as you do. Just to be clear, when I used 'naysayers' I was describing those who wish this country and this president to fail.
I believe most Americans want to work, time to let them.
Americans are filing lawsuits against the W.H.O. and China for their corruption in regard to the spread and deception of the Chinese virus.
Hobbs, you are right. Kemp can't win. If everything goes great and deaths are a minimal amount (no death is minimal) the fake media will blow it out of proportion and or make up stories and lies about what is really occurring. Not only for Georgia but for anywhere things start to open up.
My two cents on this coronavirus issue and the protesters in numerous states who are protesting the various draconian shutdowns in their states. The protesters who want businesses to open ARE NOT THE PROBLEM, the people who do not want the businesses to open ARE THE PROBLEM.
NJYANKEE, you hit the nail squarely on the head.
With all the coronavirus talk going on and no baseball being played, MLB has whitewashed the bosux cheating during the World Series. Total corruption and another black eye for commissioner Rob Manfred. Total incompetence.
Manfred has always been an embarrassment to baseball as a game for the fans. His job is make money for the owners any way he can.
The way I understand the state of Georgia openings is they are not mandatory openings. The governor is allowing certain businesses to open if they feel comfortable and safe doing so. He is just giving business owners their freedom back to try to make a living. It is each owners decision which will be the factor on who, what, and when their business opens.
Millions of Americans are suffering. The deadly coronavirus pandemic has wreaked havoc across the world. I will continue to pray for the healing of our nation, but I also want to hold those responsible accountable.
While the Chinese government continues to lie and cover-up the truth about the outbreak they are not alone … World Health Organization (WHO) Director Tedros Adhanom failed miserably to protect and keep us safe. That’s why I am now calling for his resignation and or execution.
Mickey
How would you ever make a business opening mandatory in any legal sense? Of course it’s the business owners decision ultimately (for privately owned businesses).
Barb, you and I know that as do fair intelligent people. But, there is always a but, the liars, haters, and fake news says the Georgia governor is opening the state to early and doesn't care how many people die.
Somebody has to be first, if there is no first, there can be no second.
I mean they could just be worried about their own health or their families health, I don’t know why they have to be a liar hater for that opinion.
Can any of us say we know what the right thing to do right now with 100 percent certainty? We’re dealing with something truly unprecedented .
Barb, If anyone is worried about their own health or their families health, they can just isolate themselves and hide wherever the wish as long as they wish. But no one should ever be deprived of their choice to patronize a business if that is their choice. And the same goes for any business owner that wishes to be open. The liars, haters, and fake news do not want to allow those people to have a freedom choice. No one can be 100% of anything, and no one should be deprived of their freedom of choice.
I agree to a certain extent, but I think the issue is that people choosing to open up places and people choosing to go is a choice that doesn’t just directly them, but effects the health care workers, their families, and countless of other essential workers. It’s not nearly as black and white as you make it out to be.
I live in in NYC where I have friends who have deceased relatives currently sitting in the hospitals because the funeral homes and morgues are at full capacity. I wouldn’t wish that on any other city of state and personally hope that they’re truly opening with their populations best interest and not simply to boost the economy.
Barb, didn't your mayor and governor allow your subways to keep running? that had to have had
the single most devastating effect on your population. Your cities loss for voting in those two jerks. I do not think you are even in the ballpark with your claim of ""I think the issue is that people choosing to open up places and people choosing to go is a choice that doesn’t just directly them, but effects the health care workers, their families, and countless of other essential workers"". That falls squarely into the category of no one knows any percent for sure.
When all this is over and it turns out the death rate is like around 1/2 of 1% it will be a shame the panic mongers shut down and crippled America. Shame on them.
By darn, I can't wait until baseball is back.
Woody
So I’m confused do you want things to open or stay closed?
The subways have been open because medical workers and essential workers rely on them to travel. The general public has not been using them. Can you clarify because otherwise that seems to be a fairly ignorant comment.
Sweden never shut down, everything was open to full capacity and their death rate and overall numbers where far less than many European countries and more than some others. Same thing here in the United States, some states were horrendous and some were not. Some put draconian rules into effect and others did not. In my opinion shutting down the country should never had been done, however I can understand why it was done.
Carl Hooks, herd mentality in Sweden and within a few more days their heath officials feel that everyone in Sweden will have come into contact with the deadly virus and in the future and health consequences because of the virus will be the most minimal in the world and the Swedish people will be the best off in the world. While because so many other countries in the world shut down to various degrees many of their populations have had no contact with the virus and as time goes by they are the ones who will be most susceptible to it and possibly getting sick and dying from it down the road. The shut downs will have accomplished nothing as to total deaths at the end of lets say three years.
Open the country NOW!. And those who do not want to participate don't have to. Just stop paying them to not participate.
Barb, that is baloney. Anyone could use the subways, tourists, residents, anyone. So the geniuses who run NY and NYC let anyone heard into the subways anytime they wanted to. I want things to be open and people to have free choice to decide whether or not to patronize any and all services. There are controls any business owner could put in place involving flow and amount of customers at any time. The only ignorance I see was the way NY handled the situation. Their elevated and sad numbers illustrate that. I'm going out to get a much needed haircut from my barber who is doing one person at a time by appointment only at 20 minute intervals. Only he and one other customer in the shop at a time. Open and smart, not closed and stupid.
Being as sarcastic as I can be, what I think the world and politics are coming to is......
There is a multi-million dollar court case and the injured plaintiff is suing a billion dollar corporation for whatever the injury is......The jury says to the plaintiff, we will find for you if you give each of us jurors 5% of your final settlement.....the jury also say to the billion dollar corporation, how much will you pay each of us jurors to find your corporation not guilty.
On another note, I am still doing my job, traveling and talking to people I need to talk to.
WIN METHOD, that is so funny. And in politics, so true.
Time to move to Sweden?
How much free money can we print before everything collapses around and on us. Anyone who thinks this country can stay closed for much longer is an imbecile leftist socialist fool. I for one do not want to live that way under that kind of system.

I think you’re a little disillusioned.
How many tourist do you think have been here? My friend is the GM of a hotel in time square and the only guests have been out of state nurses who have come in to help. My medical friends have said subways are nearly empty day in and day out as they take it to the hospital. I’m here everyday and I see what’s happening, so I don’t know how you can tell me it’s baloney.
I’m also confused as you seem to be against the NY government shutting things down but also saying that they handled it poorly by not shutting it down soon enough? Can you elaborate as to what they should have done?
WIN METHOD, Be careful out there now, stay safe. Love ya,
I find it very hard to defend the city that did the worst job in the entire United States during this virus outbreak. And I have live here all my life.
Baseball has to start up, even if it's just to get our sanity back.
Barb, in your last post you have a lot of misinformation in it. I'll leave it at that.
My haircut went fine and I look great according to my wife. It's great to see things starting to open up,
Woody/Atlanta, good for you. I want to go and have a few beers with the guys again. This shutdown sucks and what is worse are the people afraid to open up their towns, cities, or states. Hell, the flu has killed tens of thousands each year for decades and there is no vaccine. Mother nature rules or is it the mad scientists?
Jack Bauer, yeah, I could go for brew or two also.
Woody
Can you elaborate on any piece of misinformation? I’m confused by that comment.
From the information I have heard through the grapevine, there will be a MLB season this year.
WIN METHOD is right 99% of the time.
Hope no later than June 1st.
WIN METHOD, I believe your what the world is coming to has been evolving for decades now at a more rapid pace than ever before. Money, in all of history could buy you most anything you wanted. Bribery, lies, deceit. Now with Trump the DC the applecart was upended and the crooks are out to get him anyway they can via bribery, lies, and deceit. The saddest part is the press is now part of it and not a watchdog for the American people anymore, the press is just a lapdog for the bribers, liars, and deceivers.
sid greenberg,nyc, In my opinion that is why the United States was pretty much shut down. The press is all out to destroy Trump and they will do and say anything to reach their end, even if it means the tearing down of America. God forbid if Trump destroys their meal ticket far left liberal progressives.
Barb, from reading your posts your confusion is very understandable.
The fools over at NYYfans Yankee forum are into simulated (fake) baseball games and talking about with a thread devoted to it. Thank God for this blog.
Steve(winstheonlystat}, that is why WIN METHOD is the number one Yankee baseball blog, site, forum in the world.
Well my tickets to the Yankee game I was going to is gone. I want baseball.
Arnies Army,
Are you suggesting this was all a ploy to get at Trump? That makes absolutely no sense, the entire world is shut down, this goes far beyond our country...
Tyler, Oh my, you have got to be kidding.
Hoyles,
What part? I currently live in Florence, Italy and tell you our shut down has absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump. Nothing. It’s an asinine comment in fact.
Longtime viewer from Australia and never posted but felt the need to chime in. We’re going through the same shutdown over here and it certainly isn’t attributable to the US President. Have to agree with Tyler on this one.
Carl, Welcome, and thank you for reading the WIN METHOD. Let me suggest that you and Tyler reread the posts starting with April 26, 2020 at 10:14 AM and then I will list the others in order to put the flow into context...April 26, 2020 at 1:58 PM.....April 26, 2020 at 8:31PM .....April 26, 2020 at 8:55 PM.....April 26, 2020 at 9:54 PM.....then yours.
Woody,
You seem to be dodging my question, so I will assume you have no actual response. Thank you.
Tyler, my post was in response to sid greenberg,nyc who was responding to WIN METHODS post.
WIN METHOD posted "Being as sarcastic as I can be, what I think the world and politics are coming to is......", WIN METHOD then went on to describe a scenario.
sid greenberg,nyc, posted in response to WIN METHOD, that he felt with Trump as president the corruption applecart has been exposed and overturned. And the corrupt media/press was coerced by bribery, lies and deceit and is espousing fake news to try to destroy Trump ever since the day he was elected. The Russian hoax that was made up and paid for by Hillary Clinton, the fake Mueller investigation led by 19 democrat lawyers. I guess Mueller couldn't find a republican lawyer to go along with the lies. McCabe, Comey, and others were all involved in trying to take down the President of the United States with lies and made up information. Then the Ukraine lies of a quid pro quo. Another made up story. There was no quid, no pro, and no quo. The media goes on and on ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN attacking Trump for everything he doesn't do. What he has done, make America great again, militarily, financially, lowest unemployment in decades for men, women, blacks, latinos, asians, etc. More people working in the US in history. Economy flourishing. Not a word from the lying corrupt media.
Next, the media did not makeup or create the coronavirus. It is real. Thus your making the comment, "Are you suggesting this was all a ploy to get at Trump?" is exactly what the fake media does, you made up a fake innuendo.
Now to my comment "In my opinion that is why the United States was pretty much shut down". I believe if it wasn't from pressures and advice he Trump got from the medical doctors and even his closest advisors he may not have shut down the country. (That is my opinion). No matter what Trump would have decided, the lying media would crucify him for whatever he did. He was told by the first medical modelers that 2 1/2 million people would die in the US if he did not shut down the country and take action. So he did as almost all countries in the world did. Sweden didn't, went through the worse the virus could dish out, and now Sweden is the best off country in the world their population likely almost totally immune now.
After the modelers realized they put out false information as to the deaths, they did remodel after remodel and are down to 100,000 deaths, maybe. If Trump did not shut down the country (again my opinion but I would be everything I own I am right) the media would have singly blamed him for every single death in America. He shut down travel from China in January, he was ridiculed at the time and called xenophobia, a hater, etc. He curtailed travel from Europe and was demeaned for that. He mentioned the hydroxychloroquine and was ridiculed for that and on and on.
Like it or not (and only an idiot would like it) most of the media is corrupt, paid for, and is a wind of the radical, liberal, far left, democrat, socialist party that is trying to take down the President of the United States.
Arnies Army, hear hear, bury the fake news.
Arnies Army, To your point. Trump shut down the country and we are over 50,000 dead. If he left the country open and did nothing and there were only 20,000 deaths he still would have been ridiculed and demeaned and the fake news would have said if he shut down there would have been much fewer deaths. I've seen what the media has been doing for 3 1/2 years now and it is a disgrace to our country and anyone who believes them is an imbecile or one of them, themselves.
Tyler, you said in response to me...... "What part? I currently live in Florence, Italy and tell you our shut down has absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump. Nothing. It’s an asinine comment in fact."
I never said nor alluded to anything you posted. You just can't make things up, to many people are already doing that.
Woody/Atlanta, I see Georgia is opening restaurants for dine in today. Good for Georgia. You know the fake news is just waiting for deaths in Georgia blaming everything on your governor for opening things up. I guarantee they will even make up stories.
