It's been a long time between blog posts and I have a lot to say, so hang on fans.
This is going to be a long off season waiting for baseball to resume in 2022. There are so many questions. How long will the owner/player collective bargaining take? Could there be a delay to the start of the 2022 season? What rule changes will be implemented or restored? Will there be a designated hitter in the National League? Sticky stuff agreement? Dead ball or juiced ball? New commissioner or does the dolt imbecile Manfred stay? Will Hal Steinbrenner spend and try to build the Yankees? Who will the YANKEES get rid of by hook or crook, deal or dump? Will the top minor leaguers be given a chance to play on the big stage if any prove themselves in spring training or continue to be held back? Will manager Aaron Boone ever say a negative about anyone who doesn't go all out? who always swings from the heals? who does not hit against the shift when it is right there in front of them? passed balls? dumb base running? constant misplays? not hitting behind runners? watching their batted balls that could be doubles or triples turn into singles because they did not run hard? and my pet peeve, failure to score runners from third base with less than two outs?
I would like to congratulate the WORLD CHAMPION Atlanta Braves for winning the 2021 World Series. The Braves are the best team in baseball and their players are the best in baseball for what they accomplished in winning the World Series. Each year, as always, only the best team and the best players win the World Series. This is irrefutable no matter what the stat frauds would like you to believe. No individual stat or combination of stats overshadows why baseball is played...it is to win games. Baseball has set rules as to how teams qualify for the playoffs, right now it is ten teams based on winning and wins. Nothing else matters. Advancement through the playoffs is based on wins and winning. Nothing else matters. The best team and players are the last one winning the final series of the season, the World Series. Nothing else matters. Do not believe the words, excuses, denials, and lies from the stat frauds. Nothing is more important than wins and winning. The following paragraphs discusses wins and winning,
It is amazing how you can define almost every game by production when it matters most. Production when it matters most wins games and winning games is the desired result you want from the players on your team. The players who are more interested in their individual stats and value them more than the team winning are the players you do not want on your team.
That is how the WIN METHOD values players. Each year players are valued on how far they help lead their team. One, the ten teams who make the playoffs. Two, how far the players lead their team into the playoffs. Third the players who reach the World Series and win the World Series.
The ten teams that reach the playoffs have reached the highest level of competition by eliminating two/thirds of the other teams. Now the best are playing only the best for a very short timeframe. That is when produce when it matters most reaches its highest level.
Each series a team is eliminated until you reach the final two teams, the best of the best.
Voila, you have the WIN METHOD, undeniably the best player evaluation tool in the world. No made up convolute man made fake and useless formulas. No exit velocity, no how far a ball is hit, no how much nor how many and individual reached. No fake ERA's. WINS is all the matters and WINS and winning is the only stat that determines the best in the game.
Why do stat frauds hate, bemoan, demean, and deny the WIN METHOD? Stat frauds live by individual statistics. Their best players are only the best based on their numbers. They do not care if their high individual stat players do not help their team make the playoff, the stat frauds just blame the other players on the team. However when the players with lesser individual stats lead their team to the playoffs and beyond and even win the World Series the stat frauds do not recognize them as the best. I guess the stat frauds players who produce most when it matters most is just dumb luck. In my opinion stat frauds and the word dumb are synonyms.
Why haven't the YANKEES made the playoffs since MR. S. passed away? There is only one answer. The answer is the person running the team, Hal Steinbrenner. There have been many opinions expressed all through the sports media and other sources regarding Hal's operating priorities, his direction, his wisdom, and more. No one knows for sure and all are just guessing. But, whatever Hal is doing, it appears it needs to change direction and it needs to change to a positive direction. In my opinion, I believe much of the problem is the analytics being used. Numbers and stat sheets do not win games, players on the field playing baseball for the team to succeed wins games.
Here is a fact for all baseball fans to think about. Since the inception of the WIN METHOD the YANKEES have had the best record in baseball. The most wins and least losses than any other team in either league despite the present owner and his decisions. His father gave him a golden goose and he is turning it into a tarnished golden goose. Time for some polish and elbow grease Hal.
So, now we watch and wait to see what the YANKEES do this hot stove season. It is up to them, nothing any fan or pundit says or thinks makes a difference. I feel I have done my part in advising on WIN METHOD players. Not everyone chosen and or signed by the YANKEES is WIN METHOD. I can do nothing about that, I do not coach nor manage nor run the team. Mr. S. was a strong and staunch believer in the WIN METHOD since its live inception. The success of the YANKEE team from the WIN METHOD inception until the death of Mr. S. was extraordinary. Hal Steinbrenner is not his father and that alone may be the biggest issue why the YANKEES haven't reached the WORLD SERIES for far too long now. Let's see what happens in 2022. We can only hope things change for the positive..
LET'S GO YANKEES

After coming from 3-0 down and tying the game at 3, the Yankees give up 3 more runs to fall behind 6-3, then score 1 in the eighth and trail 6-4 after 8.
Final. Yankees lose 6-4. Cole gives up 3 runs in 5 2/3 innings. Torres, Judge, and Rizzo hit home runs. But, the Yankees lost and that is all that matters. Higgy and Torres with sloppy defense also.
The state of New York has a new motto. "New York, where it is easier to be a criminal than it is to be a conservative."
Louie Louie will start tomorrow's final game of the four game series with the Blue Jays. Yankees need a win to split the series.
Cole has started twice and the Yankees have lost twice. Is any player worth 30+million dollars a year? Hell no.

Higgy and Hicks out. A win would really be big for Yankees today.
RAIN DELAY
1 1/2 hour delay. Game time.
Louie Louie comes up looking like an 'ace' tonight going five excellent shutout innings and leaves game leading 2-0.
Final. Yankees win 3-0. IKF and Trevino the offense for the win. Louie Louie five shutout innings and bullpen four shutout innings thanks to King who had to come in to save the game. Chapman started the ninth inning up by 3 runs and walked the three batters he faced. King came in with the bases loaded and the top of the Blue Jay lineup due up. King K'd Springer, and then go Bichette to hit a soft looper to second base that was caught and turned into a double play as the Jay runner at first thinking it would be a hit never made it back to first base. Never a dull moment. So the Yankees split the four game series with the Jays.
Yanks win 3-0. Split series and start the season 4-3 playing the sux and Blue Jays. Louie Louie looked so good and earned the win. Chapman pitching the 9th walked the first three batters putting the lead and game in peril. Boone brought in Michael King who immediately got a strikeout and double play to end the game. All King did was throw strikes unlike Chapman who looked terrible.
Three game series with the Orioles for the weekend.
Yankees travel to Baltimore for three games this Easter weekend. Monty, Taillon, and Cortes are the Yankee starters. Happy Easter!
3-0 win last night. An ideal game to illustrate production when it mattered most to win the game. Trevino two RBI singles for the Yankee 2-0 lead. Judge lead off 8th inning with a double. Now the production getting Judge to score the 3rd Yankee run. Rizzo pulls a ground ball to the right side and Judge goes to third base. It is called moving the runner, for you stat frauds who know little to nothing about baseball. Stanton then hits a ground ball and Judge scores the third run. So two ground ball outs after a double mean a run.
Now the biggest production when it matters most. One side succeeds and wins the game, the other side fails and loses the game. Toronto loads the bases with no outs in the 9th inning and had the top of the lineup coming up. King comes in to pitch for the Yankees. King strikes out Springer and then gets Bichette on a looping softly hit ball that is turned into a double play as the runner at first bases gets doubled off to end the game. When it matters most, the Yankees produce and win.
Happy Easter. Chocolate for everyone.
Good job Steve(winstheonlystat), production when it matters most is almost always paramount in close games. What is most interesting is that so many games are determined by loser paid players and so few by the highest paid players who do not help their team win.
Happy Easter everyone.
Good start to season, now don't let up and win series after series.

Judge out. Goal should be a sweep of this series.
Every MLB team, in just the first week of the season has both won and lost at least one game this season. Usually there are a few teams that start each season with either a several game win or loss streak.
Yankees lead 1-0 thru three innings.
Major failure when it matters most. Hicks with bases loaded and one out grounds into an inning ending double play. Yanks playing down to the Oriole's level, lead 1-0 mid sixth.
Seven innings, 1-1, Yankee bats failing.
1-1 after nine. Extra innings of little league baseball.
Yanks go down one, two, three in 10th and don't even move ghost runner. Oh my!
Onto the 11th.
Yankee 11th. Three outs on 8 pitches.
Final. Yankees lose 2-1 in eleven. This was as a pitiful display of baseball as you would ever want to see.
Chapman walked in the winning run, but was ahead of the batter 0-2, then threw four straight balls. The batter never offered at a pitch.
How many times over the past few years has a poster here said this.....Taillon starts for Yankees tonight to try to even the series. It could be any pitcher against any bottom team. Too many times. It should read Taillon starts for Yankees tonight to try to take the series.
It's a long season people. If you give up, you are done. You only give up when you have been eliminated, if at all.
Happy and Holy Easter baseball fans.

It would be very nice to score five to six runs, and our pitcher to continue pitching well.
HAPPY EASTER.
It would be hard to do worse than the Yankees did last night. I wonder if Boone said anything to the way the team performed last night. In my opinion, if he didn't, he shouldn't be the manager.
A win tonight and tomorrow will make for a fine start to this Yankee season. The sky is the limit.
Rain delay in Baltimore. Looks like clear sailing once game starts.
Yankees down 2-0 after three.
Another rain delay.
Yankees take a 5-2 lead thru six innings.
Final. Yankees win 5-2. Pitching does their job again. Bats, just enough. Donaldson 2 run HR the big hit.
The Lord has Risen. Glorious Easter everyone.
Yanks/Orioles play for the series win Sunday. As yankeedoodledandy said, a win for the Yankees make for a fine start to the season.
An interesting tidbit. When Clay Holmes came in to get the last out in the 8th inning and then pitched a 1,2,3 9th inning for the save, he threw only 9 pitches to get the 4 outs. Two of the outs were strikeouts. All 9 pitches were strikes. Attack mode pitching.
Cortes starts for the series win try. Just score runs and take the series.
Happy Easter Sunday.

Scoreless thru seven, will the Yankees score today?
WinMethod has failed this organization. Time for him to retire, we need a change.
Loaisiga folds like a cheap tent in eighth, gives up 4 runs. Luetge gives up 1 and the Yankees are toast, down 5-0 after 8.
Final. Yankees lose 5-0 in another pitiful offensive display. Not a good day.
Well, the Yankees have an off day tomorrow. Thank God, all the players have been rested leading up to the off day.
I need a day off more than the players do. Watching some of these guys had been torcher. Too many players getting payed too much money to fail.
First ten game set of the 2022 season is in the books.
Set one 01 - 10 5 - 5 Not good. Playing .500 ball will not make the playoffs.
That was an embarrassing offensive performance this weekend against a very bad pitching staff.
A fun fact to darken your day. The Yankees have scored 30 runs in their first 10 games. That's their worst 10-game start in 45 years.
Just my opinion and I hope I am wrong, but I feel everything is not quite right with Loaisiga.
Upcoming Yankee week. Mon off. Tue night, Wed night, Thur day, games at Tigers. Cole, Louie Louie, Monty starting. Fri night, Sat day, Sun day, games at home with Indians. aka as the fraud guardians.
Torres has gone hitless in last four games, he is also poor defensively, yet he keeps getting playing time. Something is surely screwed up with the Yankee decision making.
Going 5-5 in the first ten game series is not that bad considering the Yankees played seven games with the Jays and sux. Things went sour when they lost 2 of 3 to the Orioles. The teams mind set, is not where it should be. The blame for that is how the organization is being run starting from ownership, the useless analytical numbers jerk, how the game should be played on the field, and the players themselves.
Norm Jackson, in regards to Torres, I intensely dislike his game. He is probably my least favorite Yankee. Screws himself into the ground overswinging, makes the same mistakes in the field over and over and over. If he never played another game for the Yankees, that would be just peachy with me.
I agree and hate that the Yankees lost 2 of 3 game to the Orioles, but at the same time I liked that the Yankees won 4 of 7 games to the bosux and Blue Jays. Lets move forward.
Cole opens the Tiger series tomorrow night. Game listed for 6:40pm.
Did everyone see the video of one of Bidens handlers in an Easter bunny costume pull Biden away from questioners at the WH Easter egg roll for children event. Embarrassing to America, as the video is played across the world.
Nick Polito, that was sad. Can you imagine what intelligent people think when they see a costumed rabbit grab the President of the United States, pull him, and herd him away from people asking him questions. And the President just accepts it, saying and doing nothing about it. It would be a dark day in hell before America's greatest President, Donald Trump would have ever taken that abuse.

Lets see how many runs can score tonight. Let it be at least one more than Detroit scores.
Yankees get two unearned runs handed to them in the first inning for a 2-0 lead.
Yankees up 3-2 after two innings, BUT, Cole can't complete 2nd inning and goes 1 2/3 innings, allowing 2 runs while walking 5 men. Cole walked the 7,8,&9 batters who came into the game batting .087, .133, and .000. He threw 68 pitches to get two outs. I have been a baseball fan for a very long time, and this is got to be one of the worst five outings I have ever seen.
Yanks up 3-2 after 5.
Final. Yankees win 4-2. Cole, garbage. Clarke the win. Bullpen brilliant with 7 1/3 shutout innings. Chapman the save.
I officially have no more faith in Cole after tonight's outing. He's going to have to re-earn my trust because that was a truly embarrassing performance against an awful lineup tonight.
Best takeaway from last night was the win and IKF getting two more hits and excellent defense. It looks as if he is settling in. When you talk of black holes, Gallo looks to be the definition. Just hit the ball, man.

Another win, maybe score several runs.
The Tigers have four switch hitters in their lineup tonight. It makes no difference to Louie Louie, he will mow them down, right, left, or a switch hitter. 😉
It will happen some time, so I am going to say the Yankees score double digit runs tonight.
Hicks and Judge were both called out on third strikes and both pitches were shown to have been out of the strike zone. Umpires cannot call pitches accurately when they are not standing directly behind home plate. All umpires are taught to stand behind the inside edge of home plate depending on the batter. Doing that makes it only a guessing game to accurately call a pitch on the edge of the plate away from you.
Stanton called out on strikes on pitch that missed plate to lead off second inning. Three Yankee batters called out on strikes in first two innings and all were wrong calls.
3-3 after six. Louie Louie went five innings and left game leading 3-1. Green in for the 6th gives up 2 runs.
Final. Yankees win 5-3. Louie Louie with five innings of one run ball he did have to grind through. Bullpen great but for Green who gave up two runs in one poor inning that put the Tigers back in the game in sixth. Rizzo, DJ, and IKF with big hits and solid defense. Chance for a sweep of this series tomorrow afternoon.
Monty starts tomorrow's game in Detroit at 1 PM. Yankees go for the three game sweep.
Only 12 games, and as bad as the team seems to be playing in many peoples eyes, the Yankees are at the top of their division. There will be ups and downs all season, we will see what happens. The only way to find out, is to play the games.
Go Yankees, make it a sweep.

I would like to present some yes or no questions for every reader to answer for themselves and reflect upon what is happening in and to the USA and we the people of this country since the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration has taken over from January 2021 to present.
1. Has real inflation (not the fake made up number) of anywhere from 17% to 23% been good for you?
2. Was the way the USA left Afghanistan, losing the lives of American soldiers, American citizens, and the leaving behind of American citizens and American allies to be tortured and murdered by the Taliban regime, while also leaving countless millions of dollars of military equipment behind good and the right thing to do?
3. Is the teaching of children in our schools CRT, deviant sexuality, radical left wing progressive policies good and the right thing to do?
4. Has the opening of the southern border of the USA allowing hundreds of thousands Covid carrying illegal criminals to enter the USA and travel wherever they want, allowing illegal drugs that kill hundreds of American people every day to come into the USA, allowing convicted murderers, rapists, child predators, and robbers into the USA, with the American people paying for it all with our tax dollars good and the right thing to do?
5. Has the destruction of left wing democrat cities by burning, robbing, murders, in broad daylight and the criminals perpetrating the crimes being set free almost immediately after the crime is committed good and the right thing to do?
6. Are the prices we have to pay for natural gas, electricity, or other types of fuel to heat and cool our homes, the price we have to pay for gasoline to travel to work, visit family, go to the doctor, grocery store, etc., because the administration shut down America's fuel independence on their first day in office, good and the right thing to do?
7. Was the forcing of we the people to wear masks (that it has been proven do not work) and not allowing each individual to make their own free choice been good and the right thing to do?
If your choice was NO on likely all these points, then please remember to VOTE in all the upcoming elections of any kind you are eligible to vote in up to and including the November midterm elections, and VOTE ONLY FOR CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS. We much cleanse the country of the corrupt foul stench of the democrat, liberal, radical, leftwing, progressive, communists, Making America Last Again Destroy You (MALADY) and remove them from office and power of any kind. VOTE ONLY FOR CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS.
**CONSIDER THIS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT TO SAVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Yanks trail 1-0 thru five.
MAGA2022, Seven no's for me. How anyone can think that the country is on the right track or doing well now is inconceivable to me.
Final. Yankees lose 3-0. In another display of haplessness, the Yankee lineup was unable to score a run today. Worse of all, the Yankees three times failed to score a runner from third base with less than two outs. The game was a 1-0 game and a great one run seven inning start from Monty was wasted. Failure when it mattered most permeated the Yankee effort today.
Sad Yankee game today. Hard to watch so much failure from the team I love.
MAGA2022, you could have listed Ukraine also. What is happening in Ukraine now is a direct result of a corrupt election and Joe Biden taking office. His administration, so aptly described here as the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration is doing all it can to destroy America and the American people. They must be stopped.
I will vote for Trump endorsed candidates foremost, then conservative, then conservative republican, then republican. We must take the house, the senate, and hamstring the demented piece of garbage in the living in the White House now.
I left NYC last year and will never go back. It is run by corruption, disease, and cancer.
Governor's Abbot and DeSantis lift my spirits, as do several other fantastic republican governors, senators, and representatives. Some republican office holders are just RINOS and they too need to be erased.
I voted no on all 7 questions and the Ukraine fiasco also.
Finally, this Yankee season is going to be long and frustrating if with Boone always saying how good everything is and how hard the players are trying.
The Yankee downtrend seems to emulate from the Girardi firing and the Sanchez coddling.
Yankees come home on a sad note after a sad game with sad production when it mattered most from the offense. Cleveland will be the opponent for the three game weekend series.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, plus no on Ukraine. He who votes for anyone but a conservative or republican is a fool.
I just turned 30 and have never voted for anyone but a republican. That is what my parents taught me and explained to me why. They were one hundred percent right.
MAGA2022, your points are all the proof anyone needs unless they are brain dead.
Taillon, Cortes, and Cole on tap for the weekend series with Cleveland at the Stadium.
It is hard to be positive about this team the way the offense had produced. If it wasn't for the pitching, the Yanks could easily be 3-10 if not worse.
The Tigers got two hits today with two outs and runners in scoring position to score all three of their runs and win the game. The WIN METHOD doctrine, producing when it matters most wins games.
Yankee batters are not taking what is given to them by the opponent. Yankee batters are pull and power happy, swing to try to kill every pitch and therefore fooled constantly by off speed pitches, pitches that are not strikes, and poor pitch recognition. Every batter should hit the ball to the opposite field when an over shift is used against them. When four outfielders are used against them, they must hit the ball on the ground. The Yankee batters are either dumb, not willing to help the team by getting on base, or being ordered to swing away and lose.
MAGA2022, NO on all counts. The joe-bama/commie MALADY administration is guilty on all counts. BURY THEM ALL, with your votes and send them packing the lying dirt bags.
Taking this series at home against Cleveland would be nice. The team hitting better and more important, producing when it matters most would be best.

The Yankees will not hit like this forever. But I do wish they had a manager who displayed more passion, stopped lauding every player for their pathetic play, and would demand every player hit the ball instead of swing like a mad man.
How about having a game where we score 4 or 5 early runs and maybe lead 7-2 in the seventh inning.
Judge two run homer in third puts Yankees up 2-0.
Final. Yankees win 4-1. Taillon five innings allowing one run for the win. King three innings of some of the finest middle/long relief you could ever see. King got nine outs and eight were strikeouts. Chapman gets save with an easy ninth inning. Offense, Judge a two run HR and a solo HR. Kiner-Falefa with a RBI when it matters most single for all the Yankee runs.
Yankees win 4-1. Took the lead and never looked back. But it was the pitching that won the game big time. You don't lose many games when your pitchers only give up one run.
A win is always a good thing, but this game was a nice game to watch. Taillon kept us in it, with some strong when it mattered most pitching.
Love winning the first game of a three game series. Now have two chances to win this series. Cortes starts tomorrow.

Lets make it two and win this series. About time for some Gallo wine.
Final. Yankees win 5-4. A thrilling game with many produce when it matters most hits. Cleveland took a 2-0 lead in the 5th on a two run HR. The only hit Cortes gave up over 6 1/3 great innings. Bottom of 5th Yanks tie game on an RBI double from IKF and a sac fly RBI from Higgy. Yanks take 3-2 lead in 7th on HR from Donaldson. The bad and Yankee flop of the game. Green gives up two run HR in 8th putting Yankees down 4-3. Bottom of 9th, Donaldson walk, Locastro pinch runs, and steals second base. With two out IKF doubles off the left field wall to tie game. Torres pinch hits and wins game with an RBI single. WHEN IT MATTERS is what wins games. WIN METHOD is baseball's authority and baseball's definitive evaluation tool. Yankee take series with a chance for a sweep with Cole starting tomorrow. So far this season Cole has been the failure of the pitching staff.
will-i-am, yes it was another great game to watch. Two nice wins against a pretty good team.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa has turned the New York corner and is looking even better than expected. Very good defensively and very good offensively and has shown to be a produce when it matters most bat. Cashman comes up with a gem for nothing of value.
It would be a gigantic help to the team and pitching staff if old king Cole woke up from the unproductive funk he is in.
In comparison to what he has done and how he has looked at the plate this season, Gallo had a good game today. A one off, or a sign of good things on the horizon. Lets go Joey.
Cole no matter what he does is another example of why you don't offer long term high dollar contracts to anyone. Once a contract is signed, there is absolutely no guarantee you will get what you expect from any player, ever.
Don't blow this sweep opportunity guys. Build on wins, bloom and grow. Yes you can.

6 1/2innings in the books. Yanks up 8-0 in a laugher. Cole is Cole, going 6 2/3 strong shutout innings,
Final. Yankees win 10-2. Cole looked good for first time this season. Everyone contributed as bats were alive. Even Gallo got first RBI with line double to right. Just an all around good game to build on. Win made it a three game sweep of the Indian. If you don't like the name Indians, YOU are the problem. Off day tomorrow.
Put things together today. Now, to keep things together and improve.
After off day tomorrow, three games with the O's in NY. Louie Louie, Monty, and Taillon.
I was just thinking about Ukraine and how they are suffering because of the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration. Remember when the feckless treasoness traitor pulled out of Afghanistn and left the terrorist Taliban approximately 75 billion dollars of war supplies. How great would it hav been if we flew all those arms to Ukraine.
Logan/Kentucky, the present administration would never have given those arms to the Ukrainian people. Biden and his family are getting paid by Russia. Remember when Biden got the Ukrainian prosecutor fired for investigating him and his son the sleaze Hunter regarding Burisma. It all comes full circle, and it as caused thousands of innocent lives of men, women, and children.
There is no doubt in my mind that the 2020 presidential election was corrupt and stolen. Republicans voted for Trump in unprecedented numbers, but votes were siphoned from Trump.
https://youtu.be/Ztu5Y5obWPk
The election was the most corrupt in the history of America, the voters were cheated, and look what we have now. A demented liar, crook, thief, traitor, who has committed treason against America and the American people.
Keep winning series, keep producing when it matters most, and the results will be what you play for.
Stanley Chin, you said it all. Wins is the only stat that matters and counts.
Jason Pascome, that was one compelling video. I always felt Trump was cheated. Anything can be done, and it was done. That explains why the democrats do not want positive ID voting, or any guaranteed safeguards. Hell, they even destroyed ballots is many places.
Jason Pascome, all machines, computers, etc., only operate the way they are programmed and or set up to work. The guys in the video explained in detail what was done in Michigan. They explained similar but different algorithms could have been used anywhere in different states.
The election was a sham and America is being destroyed because of it and the pure evil democrat liberal left wing.
Set the tone Louie Louie, win game one.
Jason Pascome, I believe the MIT guy was trying to make a point in the video. People on both sides praised or demeaned the video. The fact to take away from the video is that algorithms can be used to change the actual result on any vote counting unit. That is what was done and that is what cost Trump the election that he rightfully won.
If you not the recommendations from the video, number one was in person valid and provable voting only. I would go one step further, live in person fingerprint voting only.
Cory, Proof of who you are to vote. That will bury the scum of America, the democrat party forever.

OK, lets earn another win. Good pitching, when it matters most hitting, will do the job.
Rizzo third inning 3 run home run gives Yankees 3-0 lead.
Gallo homer makes it 4-0 thru four.
Rizzo again. Two run HR in 5th for a 6-0 lead.
Yanks up 6-0 after 5.
Final. Yankees win 12-8. A crazy game. From a 6-0 lead after five innings with Louie Louie pitching a no hitter and allowing only one walk, to a final wild slugfest last four innings. Rizzo the hitting star with 2 HR's and 6 RBI's. Louie Louie did give up 4 runs in the 6th and 7th innings. Luetge and Loaisiga both pitched poorly in relief. Chapman pitched the 9th in a non save close out.
Monty will start game two of the Oriole series, as the Yankees will try to keep the line moving.
Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg: "Trump should negotiate with Putin over Ukraine."
Kellogg said, "Trump understands negotiations, because you want somebody in there who's willing to walk away."
Everybody contributed to last nights offensive outburst that was led by Rizzo. Nice to see. A lot of producing when it counts led to the twelve runs. Now, if the Yankees had won 12-2, a lot of those runs would have been deemed meaningless by the WIN METHOD. Every time Baltimore scored the Yankee offense came back and countered.

Relatively steady lineup past few days. lets get the same results as the past few days.
Lets go Yankees
Stanton first inning 2 run HR. 2-0 lead.
Yanks up 2-0 after 5.
Gallo solo home run in 7th. Yankees lead 5-2 thru seven.
Final. Yankees win 5-3. Monty 5 2/3 innings gives up 2 run HR to tie game in 6th. King comes in and goes 2 1/3 innings of shutout pitching to earn win. Holmes close it out in 9th for the save. Stanton 2 run HR and Gallo solo HR the big bats. Torres looked terrible at bat again, 0-4 two K's. His mental game is screwed up. He would be far better off just making contact and hitting the ball where it's pitched. His HR swings are killing him.
Nice win tonight. Steady as she goes. Chance for a series sweep tomorrow afternoon with Taillon starting.
Gallo, still striking out consistently, but he always has. However, he has now hit home runs in two consecutive games.
The Yankees really need to win games against the lower tier teams and be able to play at least .500 or better ball against our top competitors.
By now everyone has likely heard that Elon Musk has bought Twitter, the radical left wing controlled social network. Twitter was controlling what was allowed to be posted on their platform. Twitter prioritized radical democrat, liberal, progressive views, and supported deviant lifestyles in many areas. While at the same time, Twitter banned posters and views that opposed their views and views that were more in tune with the best of America and the American people.
Elon Musk says he is a libertarian. Musk says he believes in free speech, and everyone should have the right to be heard. Musk said he will change the way Twitter has been run, and will allow all sides of any story, news, opinions, to be heard.
When Musk said what he wanted to do, the democrat radical left-wing liberals and progressives had a meltdown, went berserk, and did to Musk what they do to everyone who supports freedom and equality for all people, they demeaned him, called him a racist, and cried about it. Let's see what happens and how Musk handles his new company.
I brought this up because there are upcoming primary elections and then elections for many offices throughout America coming this year. A wave of Americans who believe in America and want to make America great again seems to be sweeping across the country. Sensible, common-sense Americans are looking to make changes in government and who will be in charge. We all can help and be part of a major change for the better. We must wipe out and remove the democrats, liberals, progressives, communists, antifa, blm, islamic terrorists, and radical left wingers out of every office of any kind in every town, city, county, and state across America.
To do this VOTE. VOTE ONLY FOR TRUMP REPUBLICANS, CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS everywhere.
We can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. VOTE, VOTE, VOTE. TRUMP REPUBLICANS - CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS.

IKF day off. Would be great to complete the sweep.
Yankees losing 2-0 after four. Taillon struggling but grinding it out.
Yanks up 5-2 after 6.
Final. Yankees win 10-5. Sweep Oriole series. Monty was off but kept it close. Castro earned win in relief. Lineup from top to bottom contributed for the win. On to Kansas City for a three game weekend series.
Yankee starters for KC series. Cortes, Cole. Louie Louie.
Warren Hammond, if people see how the democrats and their disgusting allies feel about Twitter becoming free, opening, and welcoming all points of view, how can anyone ever vote for any of them. I will echo you solution here.
VOTE. VOTE ONLY FOR TRUMP REPUBLICANS, CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS everywhere.
We can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. VOTE, VOTE, VOTE. TRUMP REPUBLICANS - CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS.
Now to go to Kansas City, win the series, and take another step forward.
How about the most corrupt administration in the history of America coming up with a dis-information department headed by a lying piece of garbage. These are sick people who are intentionally destroying America. Burn them all come election day. Vote 1.TRUMP supported conservative republican 2.conservative republican 3.republican. Anything else makes you a fool.

Hicks back. Gallo sits against a lefthander. Lets earn another win.
A corrupt garbage presidential administration, creates a corrupt garbage bureau, and selects a corrupt garbage person to run it. Three strikes and your out. Call or write your political representatives people, demand they do not support it and make them shut it down before it starts.
Yankee lead 3-2 after 3. Cortes not sharp, too many men on base. Yankees need more runs.
Cortes settles down, goes five and leaves with a 3-2 lead. He did his job, keeping Yanks in game.
Yankees open game up in 7th with a two out no one on rally. Kiner-Falefa singles to right, Kigashioka works a walk, LeMahieu line single off the tip of shorts stops glove into left for an RBI single, and Judge caps it off with a three run home right to right field. Yanks lead 7-2 after seven innings.
Five run 8th puts Yanks up 12-2. Then the rains came and 9th inning doesn't start. It looks as if the game will not be resumed looking at the radar. No reason to wait to long either if the umps had half a brain.
Final. Yankees win 12-2. Game called after 8 innings. Heavy strong thunderstorms, strong winds, and lightning. Yankees took 3-0 lead in top of first. Cortes gave up single runs in first and second, was off tonight, but settled down and went five innings leading 3-2 to earn the win. The Yankees blew game open with 4 runs in 7th inning and 5 more runs in 8th.
Go go Yankees.
Ten game set log. 2022 Season
Set one 01 - 10 5 - 5 Not good. Playing .500 ball means no playoffs.
Set two 11 - 20 9 - 1 14 - 6 As good as it gets, almost perfect.
Cory, nice to see. It's a long season. There will be ups and downs. Looking good right now.
Cole starts this evenings game in KC. Cole needs to restate his "ace" designation start after start for the next couple of months.
In my opinion I believe that the democrat party in the USA is turning into a terrorist organization.

Judge out. Will Cole produce again tonight? With Louie Louie starting tomorrow, both he and Cole will not start in Toronto series.
Yanks up 2-0 after 3.
Yankees up 3-0 thru six, not producing when it matters most. If they did score could easily be 6-0 or even more.
Final. Yankees win 3-0. Big under performance when it mattered most from lineup tonight. I guess you don't need many runs when your pitchers throw a shutout. Six innings from Cole for the win. One inning each from Castro for a hold, Holmes for a hold, and Chapman for a save.
Yankees go for another three game series sweep Sunday at 2PM at KC. Louie Louie Yankee starter.
A fact about 'when it matters most', when a player for a team fails, a player for the opposing team succeeds.

All right handed lineup against left handed pitcher. Andujar in left field. When it matters most guys, when it matters most.
Yankees running on empty so far. Only one hit, a HR by Judge. Louie Louie struggling mightily, giving up four runs in four innings.
VincentVanGoYankees, good post, you woke them up. Yankees score 2 in 5th and now trail 4-3. Louie Louie still in game.
Yanks down 4-3 after 5.
Final. Yankees win 6-4. Come from 4-1 down. Judge two solo HR's and ground out RBI for 3 RBI's. Relief pitching, go four shutout innings. King earns the win and Chapman the save. The only downers of the game were Torres and Hicks who both failed big time when it mattered most and could have blown the game open. Yankee sweep KC and their third series in a row.
Nice to see the team come back from three runs down thru five innings. On to Toronto for three games. Monty, Taillon, and Cortes. Let's go Yankees.
Don't want to jinx anyone, but I do not think the Yankees will sweep the Blue Jays. Everything can't work out right every game.
Matt Cooper, I would be very happy with taking 2 of 3. And would not think it is awful to win just 1. I do not think it will be a sweep for either team.
We split four game series with Toronto already. Now three game series. Then two game series next week. That means Yankees and Blue Jays will have played half their season.
If the pitchers keep pitching and the hitters keep hitting, when it matters most, we can keep winning.

Scoreless thru three. Judge fail, runner on third, one out, he K's.
2-2 after 5.
2-2 game after eight.
Final. Yankees win 3-2. Monty keeps Yanks in game. Bullpen does the rest. Holmes earns the win and Green earns the save. Torres, the offense with 2 run HR and ninth inning game winning RBi for all the Yankee runs.
Yankees get a Quat Ho. That is ten consecutive wins. Defeat Toronto 3-2. Quality game from both teams and game could have gone either way.
Taillon's turn tomorrow. Keep playing good baseball. Wins are the only thing that counts. Let the stat frauds and number nimrods rot in their graves.
Rumor being reported from a clerk of a radical left wing Supreme Court judge, that the Court is going to overturn Roe v. Wade. The scum of America radical left wing socialist, communist, liberal, progressive bottom feeders are going apoplectic. If it's true, take care people, there will be consequences from the democrats. Not good ones.
I was worried when Boone used Green as the closet last night. Green produced when it mattered most and set the Blue Jays down 1,2,3 without drama, earned the save for another Yankee win.
