Finally, it looks like we will have some semblance of a Major League Baseball season in 2020. Baseball for 2020 was halted by a Chinese oriented deadly virus that is traveling the world and killing massive amounts of innocent people. In March baseball was shut down as was most of America. As most of America regains its footing and is starting to recover, so is baseball.
The MLB owners and the MLBPA (players association) yesterday have agreed to play a partial 2020 season commencing around July 23-24. A second spring training will open July 1st, and each team will get in shape in their own home ballparks all across the nation. There is tentatively a 60 game season that will be played. There is always a probability what I post here may be amended by the owners, players, and baseball commissioner. Each division will play 40 games in their own division. That would make for 40 games, 10 with each rival in their division. Each team would also play 4 games against each team in their opposite division for 20 games making for the total of a 60 game season. The divisions will play each other geographically limiting travel. East vs east, central vs central, and west vs west. The regular season will end the last week of September. As of now each division winner and two wild cards in each league will make the playoffs. That is the same as the 162 game season. The inferior AAAA national league will use the designated hitter for their games for the first time in baseball history. The American League has used the designated hitter since April 6, 1973 when Ron Blomberg of the New York Yankees became the league's first ever designated hitter. Also extra inning games will be started with a runner on second base which makes a mockery of the game and is a sham that demeans the game of baseball. Not all changes are bad, however this change is bad.
The playoffs will conclude the season as usual hopefully ending in October. In the end as it always has and hopefully always will the best players and best teams will reach the playoffs and then advance to the final series, the world's greatest sports event the WORLD SERIES.
The season without question will be shorter and different. Look at it this way, every one of the sixty games becomes far more important and losing streaks will eliminate teams fast, while a big winning streak can carry a team right into the playoffs. The players will need to get their heads fully into the season from the first game on. The fun part is the WIN METHOD becomes even more important. The players who produce when it matters most and do it the most often will lead their team through the season and into the playoffs. Hopefully all goes well healthwise and the season can be completed.
No matter what, happens and as always, LETS GO YANKEES!
PS....thank you all, WIN METHOD fans from all over the world for your unwavering support, your comments, and for being the most intelligent baseball fans in the world. The ignorance of the stat frauds doesn't exist here. They have no game. They are losers who love losing players.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Biden credo....more masks, more taxes, more regulations, less jobs, less freedom, less hope.
Howie Carr's list of President Trump's accomplishments are real and fact. They must never be deluded/adulterated by the liberal democrat cancel culture. Add them to your emails, hang them in your offices, show them to your neighbors, speak them often, send them to you representatives, read them to you children.
The joe-bama/commie America, Day one.
Inauguration Day: Antifa Violence Erupts in Portland, Seattle, Denver.
This is a chart of American's voting in the past five presidential elections.
Very normal and acceptable increase in voting age and total votes cast, but
not in 2020. A shocking and abnormal increase in votes cast. Look and see,
YEAR VOTING AGE INCREASE TOTAL VOTES INCREASE
2004 215,000,000 ---------- 121,000,000 ----------
2008 225,000,000 10,000,000 125,000,000 4,000,000*
2012 235,000,000 10,000,000 127,000,000 2,000,000*
2016 245,000,000 10,000,000 129,000,000 2,000,000*
2020 255,000,000 10,000,000 155,000,000 26,000,000**
*Between 2004 and 2026 there was an increase of 8,000,000 votes cast over
three elections.
**In 2020 there was an increase of 26,000,000 votes cast. Over three times
the increase of the previous three elections combined. There was fraud and
corruption by the democrat party and it cheated President Trump from being
elected a second term.
Cory, you have to be kidding. How can this be allowed? Total corruption. What a disgrace.
And the corrupt politicians who screw the people everyday so they can line their pockets, look the other way or bury their head in the swamp. Eliminate them all.
The ballot boxes were stuffed with illegal ballots that were manufactured by democrats and far too many republicans swamp dwellers allowed it, just to get rid of Trump. Four years of made up stories about Trump and made up lies about Trump echoed by a bought and paid for media couldn't bring Trump down. The last straw was played by the scum of America and now we have a country run by the scum of America. Hang them all, the long, the short, and the tall.
The reason no one in the media explains the vote discrepancy is they can't by using the truth. And if they try to explain it would be the biggest creation of lies in the history of mankind.
The dems had to create so many illegal votes because Trump honestly had so many votes. Trump actually had more votes than any president in the history of America.
The truth of how the democrats cheated in the 2020 elections will come out some time. There has to be some people with integrity and guts willing to speak at some point. I just hope it is not on their death bed.
Cory, what you illustrated in your voting chart is there is a logical steady growth in the amount of voters, and the amount of voters who vote. But when 3x more votes are counted than the three previous elections combined, there is positively something wrong and it smells like rotten democrats, liberals, socialists, progressives, communists, radical left wing, or whatever name they go by.
What a bunch of crybabies.
Practice what you preach.
The rollout of the covid vaccine that President Trump initiated is going great guns. I think they just reached or are a speck shy of vaccinating one million people a day now. As it keeps rolling along, you just now that joe-bama/commie will take the credit and the fake media will gladly comply like obedient dogs.
Howie Carr, Cory, thank you both for shinning the light of freedom and truth to the reader here. The truth is out there. Lets bury the democrat scum with the truth.
You folks are obsessed with the presidential election, but don't forget the democrats obviously stole the house and senate as well. I feel like your nutty conspiracies are too singularly focused.
Loeffler and perdue lost and conceded within a day or two which is very odd considering democrats faked hundreds of thousands of votes to beat them. Why didn't they look for evidence of cheating? Are they in on it? Wake up people!
Grosner, you are missing or ignoring the point. Most politicians are there not to help the constituency they represent, but to collude, be bought, sell their soul, to whomever will pay for their vote. That means politicians, high dollar businesses, judges, lawyers, CEO's, etcetera, of any race, color, creed, or persuasion. Money corrupts, and when you can print as much money as you want anytime you want, tons of corrupt politicians leave office as multi-millionaires.
Howie Carr, thank you for your list of what Trump has done for us. One heck of a great President.
Hilarious take that money corrupts but somehow Donald Trump is immune to this corruption. Guys literally been a businessman his entire life and has a history of taking advantage of smaller organizations whenever he can.
Wonder how you reconcile that fact.
Every thing biden has signed by executive order so far in a couple of days has hurt the American people and America as a country.
Bert, Trump was a multi-billionaire as a businessman that was never involved in politics. He ran for President because he was sick and tired of the downward spiral America was on under multiple presidents and he wanted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. President Trump made America great again and did more for all American citizens than any other president in history. Read Howie Carr's post above. Yes, Trump was a businessman all his life and a very successful one, and then as President Trump was the most successful president in American history. The IRS has been going through Trumps returns for decades now and still are, however they have never found anything illegal in his returns. As a great businessman he took advantage of every thing he could, just as I do when I file my returns. Four years as President and the scum of out nation, the democrats have accused him of everything they could and even made up things. The scum found nothing, but they are still trying.
Trump Covid vaccine going great guns with 6,600,000 doses given this past week and growing daily.
I read Howie's post. I also read it when it was originally posted in the Boston Globe before being plagiarized here.
Never said that Trump didn't accomplish many things as president. He wasn't perfect either, and had a lot of faults, which no one here seems to want to acknowledge. The IRS isn't seeking out morality, so I don't see why that is even relevant, but he's had many shady business practices in the past.
This forum has become as divisive as Trump has wanted to make the America people. Your blind following of everything he's said isn't because you're smarter than others, you're just a pawn.
joe-bama/commie are a disgrace.
Bert, Trump was as close to a perfect President if there ever was one. No human being is perfect and all have faults.
What shady business practices? There are winners and losers in every deal in business just as there are winners and losers in every sporting event.
People who speak their opinions create discussion and debate, not divisiveness unless that is your goal. Trump never ever did anything to make the American divisive. What Trump did for ALL Americans of every race creed and color was not one iota divisive.
You want divisiveness and who created it, look no further than the scum of America, the liberal radical left wing democrats who created a fake dossier to try to take Trump down, have lied with almost every word the speak about Trump. Throw in the fake impeachment over a phone call that was he allowed every American to hear. How about Adam Schitt testifying in Congress about the phone call and making up every word and lying threw is teeth.
I can go on and on, but I will conclude you believe one way and I believe another. Isn't it great that we can express our opinions, but it looks like your side is going to try my side from being allowed to say what we believe.
johnsondc, you responded for me. You stated it better than I could.
Thousands of National Guard troops ordered to sleep on the cold greasy oily floors of an unheated parking garage in DC. Your joe-bama/commie administration at work.
Isn't it great that we can express our opinions - I agree with this.
How do you know my side? I’m on the side of America, that’s it. You basically just inadvertently made my point on divisiveness.
Bert, I don't know who your post is addressing, so I will reply. To me you appear to be talking with a forked tongue. Trump is not divisive, he is a decisive leader who gets things done. He only and always puts America and the American people first. You may not accept this, but there are two very different sides. One loves America 100% and the other is trying to destroy America. The difference is obvious. Again, Trump is not divisive, he is decisive. He did what no other man has ever done for this country by getting the covid vaccines developed and into the arms of Americans in just several months. No other vaccine was ever developed and injected into people in less than several years. If anyone loves America there is only one side.
Mickey,
You seem like a really smart guy.
Mickey littlebear, yes, there is only one side. It wasn't always that way, but it surely is now. Politicians are politicians, most are money and power hungry. That wouldn't be so bad if they made the people and the country first. They don't, therefor they need to be put in their place. Vote them out, demand results for what they promised (lied) to you. Everyone has rights guaranteed by the constitution, that always must come first. "WE THE PEOPLE"
MLB all time home run king Hank Aaron passed away today at the age of 86. A moment of silence...........................................................RIP.
He was fun to watch, glad he was in the other league.
Rest in peace Hamerrin' Hank.
No dates announced yet but it looks as if baseball will resume as normal this season. Three and a half weeks give or take a day or two until Yankee camp opens.
As each day passes, the joe-bama/commie administration chips away at the foundation of America. When enough chips are broken off the foundation will collapse and the American empire will fall.
Wolverine Willie,
I’m willing to bet money that doesn’t happen, a lot, you game?
You sound defeated already, sad.
Mickey, I am as a big of fan of Trump as the next, but I don't think we should give big government credit for the rapid vaccine. It was private pharma and free enterprise that did this. Can you imagine if it was up to the federal government to make a vaccine? It would take decades!
Trump did have the excellent idea of injecting disinfectant or UV rays into the body which was some real ingenuitive thought so we should credit him for that.
Yankees and Pirates talking trade and appear to on verge of dropping the hammer.
As of this morning, just more rumors, none verified, on Yankee/Pirate front.
Yankees on the prowl for pitcher Jameson Taillon who is coming off his second TJ surgery.
Grosner, Reading your posts, I do not think you are a fan of Trump. I don't think I have seen anyone here giving big government credit for the vaccine or anything. Trump gets all the credit, he is not big government, he is the people. The vaccine was developed by pharma spurred on by Trump opening the doors that have never been opened before, cutting big government regulations which slow everything to a crawl, and unleashing the full ability of medicine men to research and develop at warp speed.
If Trump was not President at the time of the Chinese virus, we would not even be close to having vaccine now.
I have to believe that if the Yankees do make a deal with the Pirates, several Yankee 40 man roster players will be going to the Pirates in the deal.
Mickey,
“Trump gets all the credit”
To say this completely discredits the countless medical professionals who worked tirelessly to develop the vaccine. You should be embarrassed.
Still waiting on Yanks and Pirates outcome. Hope it is good for Yanks.
Bert, what part do you do understand from my post? It is very clear what I stated, "The vaccine was developed by pharma spurred on by Trump opening the doors that have never been opened before, cutting big government regulations which slow everything to a crawl, and unleashing the full ability of medicine men to research and develop at warp speed."
The medicine men did the work of research and development as they always do. President Trump allowed it and made happen at the speed (warp) it did. No other president in American history
has ever done that, not even multiple years close.
You seem to be just another fake trying to demean President Trump any chance you get.
The Yankees have worked out a deal to acquire right-hander Jameson Taillon from the Pirates.
The Pirates will get pitchers Miguel Yajure, Roansy Contreras, infielder Maikol Escotto and outfielder Canaan Smith. All Minor leaguers.
I guarantee another deal will be eminent.
I can't believe Cashman gave up nothing for 3 years of Taillon. I literally laughed out loud when I saw the prospects going to the Pirates. Great job by Cashman.
President Trump has been unfairly maligned by the main stream media. An honest reckoning of his record will show that he is the greatest President in history. Once the dust of all the unfair criticism clears up, people will see the truth for themselves.
Mickey,
I didn’t say anything about Trump, but the medical teams deserve a great deal of credit. By saying trump deserves ALL the credit, you’re by extension not giving them any.
Yankeefan2
Why did you copy that from another yankee forum where it was earlier posted?
Bert, you took several words out of context and applied you own perception to the words. My posts were very clear for all to understand. Again, if another person was president last year during the onset of the Chinese virus, the American people would not have a vaccine now.
Trump did none of the research and development of any vaccines, but he did make it happen so the people could get protected at this time, instead of waiting for years.
Hey the Yankees are at a point where they can have two guys pitch four innings each in every game that Cole doesn't start. Keep them fresh and limit innings after last years short season.
Mickey,
“Again, if another person was president last year during the onset of the Chinese virus, the American people would not have a vaccine now.”
I don’t agree with this, and to be frank, you have literally no way of knowing that fact. Quit drinking the kool-aid.
Bert, 1.You speak with a forked tongue. 2.You do not know what you are talking about. 3.You make up things, much like the democrat scum and the fake news scum. You have displayed the deadly trifecta that no one should ever want to do.
https://khn.org/morning-breakout/its-rare-a-vaccine-is-developed-in-five-years-can-the-world-really-pull-it-off-in-one/
Yes, Trump was the only one who could pull it off, BECAUSE he was not and is not a corrupt politician. Trump is the greatest President in American history. You don't like it nor accept it, that is you prerogative.
Bert, considering no vaccine has ever been created and put into circulation no where near, not even in the ballpark, as fast as this one has can only be attributed to Trump. Politicians only care how much they can steal from Americans to care about who lives or dies. You can see that in every way. Payoff favors from lobbyists, big tech, big pharma, big every business, bribes, payola. Every big time politician leaves the swamp a millionaire or more.
Trump took an awful lot of bullets and arrows for WE THE PEOPLE. No not koolade, for me, just common sense and the facts. No fake news or crooked politicians either, just common sense and the facts.
Mickey,
I’d like you to name one thing I “made up”. You are speaking out of your behind by saying only trump was capable of funding the development of the vaccine, you have no proof, no data to support your claim, you lose.
Also I understand it’s the fastest vaccine ever developed, but are you able to acknowledge that this an unprecedented time of a pandemic with science and technology vastly far ahead of any other pandemic? Your logic, like most things I’ve seen here, is flawed.
Only a simple minded people speak in such absolutes as I see here.
Bert, I guess the people who say the sun will rise in the east and set in the west are simple minded. I guess in a baseball game the team that wins will score the most runs. Simple minded to believe that I guess.
Here is an article about what came out of the mouth from obama about how he left America during his presidency and it couldn't be fixed.
“What magic wand do you have?”
MARCH 20, 2019
In June 2016, President Obama, in a town hall in Elkhart, Indiana, asserted that American manufacturing was merely a thing of the past.
When asked by an audience member why blue-collar jobs continue to disappear, the 44th President admitted that good-paying jobs in America were moving overseas under his watch. Mr. Obama asserted that “some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back.”
“When somebody says . . . that he’s going to bring all these jobs back, well, how exactly are you going to do that? What are you going to do?,” Mr. Obama asked.
“There’s no answer to it. . . . What magic wand do you have?”
Just shy of three years later, how things have changed for working moms and dads across the country.
Here’s the news: The White House Council of Economic Advisers released the 2019 Economic Report of the President this week.
According to the report, “the U.S. economy is responding auspiciously” to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “along multiple margins.”
Blue-collar America thriving once again: Underscoring the gains the U.S. economy continues to see following implementation of the GOP Tax Cuts, the CEA reports that manufacturing is surging in America.
Expansion: The manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index, a gauge for overall economic health of the manufacturing sector, was 53 in February. This is in addition to real GDP growing over 3 percent year-over-year in 2018 – the fastest pace since 2005.
Faster Growth: Growth in manufacturing employment has accelerated at a rate six times faster than under the Obama administration. Manufacturers have enjoyed the largest increase in annual job gains in over two decades. 215,000 blue-collar jobs were added in 2018 – 301,000 above pre-2016 election expansion period trends, according to the CEA.
Growing Paychecks: In February, average hourly earnings rose at a rate of 3.4 percent – the biggest increase since spring of 2009. According to a report by Goldman Sachs, “wage growth has picked up sharply” especially for low-wage workers.
Simply put: Turns out a magic wand wasn’t needed to change the trajectory of America’s economy.
As Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), the top Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee said: “Thanks to a new, modern tax code and balanced regulation, we’ve launched a new era of American prosperity – where workers have first claim over their earnings, small business and manufacturing is back, and American companies can compete and win anywhere in the world, especially here at home.”
FACT> Trump did what supposedly couldn't be done in obama's eyes.
FACT> Trump did what no one has ever been able to do, in getting a virus researched, developed, produced, distributed, and administered in warp speed.
The support and data is it was never done by anyone ever. Trump did. You are an imbecile to the nth degree, you are a lying fraud, and a disgrace to mankind in my opinion.
The only thing flawed is posters like you, but ignorance as yours makes me know what I believe is right and just. Go sleep with the rattlesnakes.
I really enjoyed the discussion between Bert and Mickey Littlebear.
Mickey Littlebear won hands down. Mickey not only won but he scalped Bert and fed him to the rattlesnakes.
Mickey,
We’re talking about virus research, and you discuss a narrative about blue collar jobs, which has literally nothing to do with the topic at hand. Your tactic of misdirection is irrelevant, sad, and to be honest, embarrassing.
You’re better than this, America is better than this, be better.
When you’re ready and want to put actual “evidence” that no other person would be able to fund vaccine research (which sounds silly even when I type it) I’ll be all ears.
Jill,
The adults are speaking.
Jill,
Disagree - I think Mickey is spewing nonsense here. Good discussion though.
Great discussion guys!
Mickey - can you explain why your blue collar job comments have relevance? Thanks!! Xoxo
Mickey,
Word of advice - your debate points would make more sense if more on topic and concise. You seem to be losing this one.
I have a very strong suspicion that the quick influx of one name posters can all be attributed to Bert. In a way that is good, since it shows that Bert is desperate and has nothing left.
This is a strong discussion.
Bert - why do you think the vaccine was able to be produced so quickly?
Mickey - do you have evidence that only trump would be able to pull off this feat in current times?
I think what Trump did was good, but could like be replicated by other leaders. He had a lot working for him.
“Bert, I guess the people who say the sun will rise in the east and set in the west are simple minded. I guess in a baseball game the team that wins will score the most runs. Simple minded to believe that I guess. “
Humans are much more complex than these examples you listed - I agree that the level of absolutes used here are a bit jaded. Critical thinking is missing much from this blog.
Dana, not Mickey here. The revelance in my opinion was Trump doing what was believed couln't be done. The former president of the U.S. said jobs could not be brought back so emphatically that he said "what magic wand do you have?" FACT, obama the previous most powerful man in the world said it couldn't be done, but Trump did it as only he could. When Trump said there would be a virus by years end, everyone scoffed, demeaned, and ridiculed him. FACT, Trump did it with his leadership and methods described in earlier posts. Trump did what no human being in the world had ever done.
Sorry Dana, Timmy, Willy, Bert. You all are losers.
This blog is really fallen on tough times!!
NYY4ever, You said, "Critical thinking is missing much from this blog."
I say, only from posters like you.
Bigbadwolf,
Wow. How dare you accuse me of such an act. I have no idea who these other posters are. Is this the type of treatment posters typically receive here?
WandaVision, I don't think so. Will hit 940 million views early tomorrow morning. No other baseball site is even close. And done in just 12+ years.
Bert, only the garbage, fakes, and frauds.
Bigbadwolf,
Does that really mean anyone who doesn’t follow your narrative?
This has been a very entertaining string of comments.
Bert, no, it has more to do with those who can't think for themselves and or use common sense. For example, when someone achieves something wonderful that no other person has ever done, that is a magnificent endeavor and should be heralded. For someone to try to belittle and or besmirch the achievement is simple minded and petty.
Bigbadwolf,
I think it is you who isn’t thinking for themselves and using common sense.
Trump simply signed a bill to provide funding. I herald the people who worked tirelessly day in and day out, sacrifice their time with their family, and gave all their efforts, to actually create the vaccine.
I celebrate the people doing the work. You celebrate the rich wigs barking orders. To each their own.
Why hasn’t winmethod been able to post more during the pandemic? Shouldn’t be traveling less?
Why doesn’t he give any actual Yankee news anymore?
Bert, right Trump did nothing. Just showed the world what a great leader he was by leading the way to getting a vaccine out to the people faster than anyone else in history ever did.
Eagle, when he posts is only determined by WIN METHOD. He is traveling quite a bit, but talking to people takes more time and preparation.
Does Cashman have another deal up his sleeve?
Augie Defonce, you never know. He doesn't have loose lips, that is for sure. He knows what he is doing.
Bigbadwolf,
Give a straight answer, who did more. Trump, the billionaire who signed a bill to expedite a vaccine for a disease he failed to contain (these are facts, sorry). Or the people who worked day in and share out to develops the vaccine.
Again, to be clear, who in your opinion deserves more credit, and why? Thank you.
Tony,
Thanks! It’s a flawed argument to me though. At the onset of the pandemic, Oxford researchers stated they believed a vaccine could be developed by October/November- so in reality Trump didn’t do unbelievable. It feels yours just giving him undue credit for advancements in science that he has little to no knowledge of.
Woo ha, down goes Mickey in a spirited debate, you can tell a loser when he starts muttering ideas not in line with the debate at hand. Oldest trick in the book. As a former debate team leader we told people to avoid this strategy day one!!
Bigbadwolf,
Why can’t he just do digital interviews?
I think Cashman man still do another deal.
Bert, I always give a straight answer unlike some posters. Trump was told a vaccine could not be developed in less than several years. He said he would change the mythology, change the rules, change the process, change the protocols and make it happen. If he does not do these things there is no vaccine now. The medical people do the labor and put in the time, no question. They just did it in warp speed something that has never been done because one man President Trump did what he did to make it happen.
Trump deserves most credit because there is a vaccine now because he initiated and supported the entire process that people said couldn't be done. Like Roger Banister breaking the four minute mile. He led the way and showed it could be done. Trump led the way and showed a vaccine could be created and put to use far faster than anyone thought possible.
The medical people deserve great credit because they did it. But they couldn't have done it without Trump at the helm leading the way.
Does Jeff Bezos get credit for Amazon or do the people who do all the work deserve more than he does?
Cashman may be looking for another bullpen arm.
Eagle, WIN METHOD only does face to face interviews. No masks. Always. No face, no interview.
Thanks big bad wolf,
The initial source of this debate was due to me disagreeing with a poster claiming Trump deserved ALL the credit. It sounds like you agree with my based on the above.
Using two starters in a game for four innings each is not that bad of an idea and we may see it happen, like it or not.
Wow, sure looks like there was one ding dong battle of words and opinions here last night.
I will touch on several points. Most important, this blog did just hit 940 million views and continues on its way to one billions views. You, 'we the people' are the ones making it happen. Thank you all.
The Trump debate. Let me add one more example where Trump deserves the credit for something that has never been done before in America. Trump made America energy independent for the first time in history. He is the only American President to ever do this. America does not have to import or buy energy from any foreign source. The sticking point was pointed out by Bert in his post this morning a little while ago. Bert boldened the the word "ALL", the word 'all' seemed to be at the crux of the discussion.
Three examples have been mentioned now where Trump did what was assumed couldn't be done, yet he did them all. 1.Trump brought jobs back to America and made America great again. The previous president said it couldn't be done and many people agreed with him, but obama was wrong as usual. 2.Trump, as I pointed out made America energy independent in his term in office. American energy independence had never been achieved, yet President Trump achieved this and it made for lower gas and oil prices for Americans. A great thing. 3.Trump made it possible to develop a vaccine to save Americans lives faster than thought possible. The vaccine is now be readily dispensed across America. Trump made all three of these events possible, by himself, no, because the people do the grunt work, physical work, paper work, thought work, action work. Trump does deserve 'most' of the credit for all three of the events above, he believed in them, he created the pathway for them to happen, and he cleared the pathway for them to come to fruition.
This blog was created so ALL people could speak, even call each other names, as long as there are no vulgar curse words. The insults can even be fun, I loved the ones, speak with a forked tongue and scalped and fed to the rattlesnakes. Very colorful from true American heritage. No one gets banned, can't say that for the sham and fake other forums. Sad to see the big tech social media sites banning posters and restricting free thought and speech.
Final point, America is no longer energy independent. With the stroke of a pen the disgusting anti-American joe-bama/commie administration killed American energy independence. Now Americans will pay higher prices for the energy to heat their homes and drive their cars. The extra money will go into the pockets of the scum politicians who only look out for themselves while they destroy American and hurt the American people.
We do keep track of screen names used here on the WIN METHOD blog. Using other names to try to backup your views does a poster no good. Several name never seen before in 12 years coming up in just a few minutes to back a posters view is almost always fake.
Continue on people.
YankeesClassic, I don't think Mickey Littlebear muttered at all. Mickey used examples of fact.
The piece of utter garbage Nancy Pelosi delivered articles of impeachment on Donald Trump this morning to the senate. If Trump is found guilty he will be removed from office.
One issue Nancy, you ignorant disgusting disgrace of a human being, Trump is not the president, he did not wrong to be impeached for, and since he is not in office I don't see how you can remove him if he is not there.
Maybe in you dilapidated demented mind you think you can, may you rot in hell.
Yes, I hate her.
Yankees trade Adam Ottavino to bosux dumping his $9million contract.
Ottavino is no loss at all. Gives Yanks some money to play with. Personally I am glad to see him go, he did nothing to help the Yankees in his time here.
Deb F, can I assume you do not like Nancy Pelosi?
Teena/ex-Bronx, Good assumption. And Deb F is 100% right.
You don't know how many times when Ottavino came into a game I cringed. Good bye.
Get this, now Pelosi is planning to hold a vote next week to authorize $1,400 in direct payments to Americans. Only the twisted mind of Satan himself could conjure and unleash such a foul, wretched beast upon humanity. Who does she think she is representing her constituents like our Founding Fathers intended? She should be representing YOU, not the people she represents in her district!
Grosner, give it a break. You are a 15 watt bulb posting in a forum of 100 watt bulbs.
Stanley Chin, 👍👍👍 that is golden.
Stanley Chin,
I think you just might be too dim to understand.
Heaven help us, another brain dead poster in BabeTruth.
If the Yankees resign Gardner how much will he get paid?
My opinion not being in the loop is three million.
yankeefan2, Gardner wants as much as he can get and Yankees are trying to go as low as they can. Yankees want to hold back the millions Gardner likely wants so as to maybe pay someone else in an acquisition. I know we are only guessing and as you said we have no info, not being 'fake insiders'. I can see Gardner wanting at least seven mil, and settling at five.
Joe Biden, puppet head of the joe-bama/commie administration with the stroke of a pen destroys American energy independence and puts thousands of American workers out of high paying jobs.
Yes, the liberal left wing radical socialist progressive America hating democrats are scum.
The Yankees could always offer Gardner a job coaching in the future if he takes just 1 or 2 million this season telling him they need the extra dollars for a possible acquisition this season.
Izy Hernandez, the joe-bama/commie America hating cartel is coming up with another slogan, "Working together-we can destroy your life."
LonKlick
At least I was able to keep the light bulb theme going..loser.
“So if you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective making it harder for you to breath.” Fauci told TODAY.
Where to begin....
yankeefan2, Victor Bruno, yankeedoodledandy, Owenstheone, Any combination of what you guys proposed is likely.
LonKlick, Is that what your mother called you?
Izy Hernandez, Ron Francis, You both nailed what is happening to the U.S.A. now.
Diane Stahl, You made my day, that is funny. Fauci has said so many stupid things.
President Donald J Trump was 100% for the America people and America itself. He put both first and foremost in every decision he made.
The problem is that 95% of politicians are corrupt and in politics for themselves and don't give a flying fig about the people. The swamp dwellers live for the dollar. Bury them all.
What’s the average age of posters here?
Bud Heavy, I wasn't going to respond to your question with my first thought. Then, as an hour went by and the two, I saw there was no response to your question. I thought and thought and stuck with my first thought. Now to be honest, there is no way I know nor do I care what the average age of posters here is. However, for you to ask your question all I can say the average age of posters here is higher than your IQ.
Just watched Joe Biden talk on covid response. Joe Biden speaks and lies, blunders, and incompetence flows from his lips.
Hey people, is there a retort contest going on? So funny.
MLB...there will be no designated hitter and no extended playoffs this season.
Bobby Behan,
How is my question at all indicative of my IQ? Judging by the nature your response, I can only assume you’re an infant.
It was just a question, I wanted to know what the demographic of posters here was.
Does anyone here support Black Lives?
Bud Heavy, did you have to divulge any information about yourself when you posted here? I didn't. How could they know your age or anyone's age?
Phil Jenkins, the DH and extended playoffs could still happen in 2021, either or both or as you stated, neither.
Swen,
I was asking to the group for anyone comfortable to share. It was directed at anyone specifically. It’s just a question on age. I’m 44. What’s the big deal?
Bud Heavy,
This is what you asked.."What’s the average age of posters here?
January 26, 2021 at 3:07 PM"
You lied about what you asked when you replied to Swen Jorgerson.
Bigbadwolf,
Couldn’t I get an average by taking a representative sample of poster responses?
Bud Heavy, absolutely not. You would have no controls in place, you would never know how many people are in any age grouping, for example 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, and so on. You could get 20 response and all responders could be in one or two or all age groups and would not ever be close to an average.
Plus, it isn't anyone's business what age any poster may be.
Still no spring training report dates listed for Yankees as of today.
Ok. Sounds like you need a massage. This wasn’t a big science experiment I wanted to see what ages the main posters generally were.
I find it a little odd that it was met with so much friction to be honest.
Bud Heavy, stupidity should always met with resistance. Plus, posters age is none of your, mine, or anyone's business.
Yankee sign right hand relief pitcher Darren O'Day for $1.75 million for 2021 and a player option for 2022.
With O'Day with got our RHRP, saved 7 million bucks, and hopefully got someone who will produce when it counts better than the guy we chucked off the team.
Slowly but surely the Yankees are putting together a incrementally better team than last years playoff team.
Big bad wolf,
Ok, if stupidity should be met with that, what should being a complete d,$knead like yourself be met with?
I wanted to give this blog a chance, but as I was warned it truly is trash littered with trash people.
John Hartnett, looks like the Yanks are trying to make the team great again.
Unlike so many other forums, sites, and blogs, you here at the WIN METHOD blog personify LET FREEDOM RING. Makes no difference what a fool or two believe. With more views than any other baseball site in the world, readers from over 200 countries in the world, and posters from all over the world, I don't think this blog has anything to worry about when a poster makes a fool of himself and hopefully leaves. I've been here from the beginning 12 years ago, I've seen it all.
The idiot Bud Heavy/Budheavy couldn't remember how to spell his name. Fraud bait.
Over the past four years the democrats did everything they could to try to tear this country and take down the greatest American President. They finally succeeded through a corrupt election. Now with the joe-bama/commie crud in office the destruction is happening more each day.
Deb F
“With more views than any other baseball site in the world”
Do you actually think that’s accurate? MLB.com for one has more.
Willy S, you are correct. I should have said Yankee baseball site.
Do Yankees still have a deal or two in the works before spring training. Have a whole bunch of outfielders hanging around.
Deb F, Willy S, I believe you are both right in a way. mlb.com is not really a stand alone site or what is a destination site. It is a routing page where a person can then go to hundreds of other pages to reach their destination. The WIN METHOD blog is a final destination for readers, so to get to WIN METHOD the readers do not have to go to any thru any other sites.
The joe-bama/commie America hating, liberal, radical left wing, socialist cartel now leading this country have now destroyed more jobs in one week than any other political group in American history.
Following up on my question on Black Lives? No one here?
42, your original question is very vague, froth with innuendo, and possibly racist. What information are you trying to find specifically?
An update on the posts of poster who uses the screen name 42. 42 looks to be be a sham poster and a fraud. 42 has only made two posts and I am glad to see no legitimate posters responded to 42's posts. Be leery posters. Particularly if you see posts by names you have never seen before and their posts are off beat and not consistent with what is being discussed. Thank you, and be safe out there.
At some point teams will have to tell their players what date they need to report to camps. Maybe the teams have told the players already but just aren't telling the fans.
Hi,
I’m asking if there are supporters of the black live matters movement, which recognizes the oppression that the African American culture still faces to this day. With black history month coming up I feel it’s even more important to recognize.
I found this yankee blog and saw much of the discussion was politically geared so thought I would see what other users thought about something I was passionate about.
Bigbadwolf - I apologize for being vague initially, I didn’t think I needed so many words to get my question across. I assure you, I am the furthest thing from a “sham” or “fraud” that you could imagine.
The biggest question mark for this season is our catcher, Gary MEATBALL Sanchez. How low can he go, or will he be an asset?
42, I am offended by your post. Enough said.
Tom,
There’s nothing offensive, I’m just making an inquiry. Sorry you feel this way.
42, I wholeheartedly support and appreciate the BLM movement and feel it is necessary and overdue part of our national conversation. From a baseball point of view, I was happy to see MLB support this cause last year and I hope to see the sport continue this message.
The SF Giants have listed their spring training report dates for 2021 spring training camp. They are the first Cactus League team to do so. Three Grapefruit League teams have listed, Tampa, Baltimore, and NY Mets.
Guy Padikian, I think meatball is mentally hurting. It looks like he is unable to cope with adversity, so he blames others for his inability to perform. Worse is his belief that he thinks he is doing well when his performance is abysmal.
ALL lives matter.
Linda Pardo, I agree, all lives matter. No select group is any more important than any other group. And in my opinion, saying so is should be offensive to everyone.
It is said that Sanchez works very hard? Then why doesn't he run out ground balls? If does work hard to try to improve and there is no physical issue, likely everything is in his head and he may did a shrink.
Thank you Grosner!! Glad to see someone else.
Linda/Tommy - I fear people who say this are completely missing the point. Black Lives Matter isn’t saying “Only Black Lives Matter”, in fact I have no idea why you’d construe it that. Rather, it’s saying “Black Lives ALSO matter”, and that the struggles and hardships of African Americans should be recognized fully, for which to date they have not been (though I do love that recognition is getting better).
Does that clarify anything for you? I take it you are not supporters, but maybe this helps you understand.
42, This is what you stated>>"I’m asking if there are supporters of the black live matters movement". Then you cya by stating>>" Black Lives Matter isn’t saying “Only Black Lives Matter”, in fact I have no idea why you’d construe it that. Rather, it’s saying “Black Lives ALSO matter”."
You don't get to have it both ways. ALL lives matter.
Linda,
I can’t have it both ways? Why can’t people support black lives and other lives?
I don’t understand what you mean.
42, who are the other lives? How about supporting all lives. Black, white, yellow, brown, red, etc. No one is above or below the other. ALL LIVES MATTER. When anyone tries to separate any one group from all the others, then I will take issue with that position.
Tommy Lee,
This is very ignorant. African Americans have been “separated” from others for a long time throughout history.
Bob S, if you believe what you just posted, then you would believe that reaching the highest positions in politics, arts and entertainment, corporate world, sports world, education, is being separated from others and thus not great and all encompassing. Wow, then you are as dumb as a rock.
Every race, creed, and color has the same opportunity in America. EVERYONE! EVERYONE!
Carl Hooks,
If you think every color has the same opportunity, then you are dumber than a rock.
Carl Hooks,
No they don’t. If you think different cultures don’t face different struggles then you’re plain ignorant.
Carl Hooke,
Oh so we had one black president out of 46(!) and that’s equality to you. Got it. Nothing more for our country to do then.
Carl, Tommy Lee, Linda: I feel you are spinning 42’s words in a very disgraceful way. This poster NEVER indicated that only black lives matters. You’re coming at this poster in a very hateful fashion of which I do not condone. Long time viewer, first time poster here. Couldn’t stand on the sidelines on this.
God bless America, where ALL LIVES MATTER in the hearts and souls of great freedom loving people, but not in the bowels of the racists scum now governing this country and their supporters.
In my opinion any person who does not say and believe "all lives matter", and in the next breath speaks of one group (any one group) is a racist and looking to incite trouble.
It is interesting how when one or two first time posters post an outlandish comment looking to incite the overwhelming majority of posters, how quickly another batch of first time posters quickly follow appear with their views.
There is no two ways about this issue. ALL LIVES MATTER no one group is excluded. If you believe otherwise you are the racist. Hence the joe-bama/commie administration of hate and despair which will be the result of their policies.
It's all lives matter or no lives matter. Simple as that. You saw this summer the riots that were allowed to take place across America. Burning, looting, destruction, American citizens attacked, beaten, injured, murdered and the the democrats did and said nothing about it. While the greatest President in American history said at every opportunity, I will stop it immediately, just say the word. But no democrats said the word, and allowed all the above to happen.
All lives matter. If not, YOU are the problem.
Say it WIN METHOD fans, say it loud and clear.
