The New York YANKEES start their 2024 season today. They start the season with their best pitcher, Gerrit Cole, on the DL (disabled list) and their starting third baseman, DJ LeMahieu also on the DL. It is estimated that Cole will be out of action for about two months, and LeMahieu out for anywhere from two weeks to two months. There are also several other players who will start the season on the DL.
The ultimate goal for the YANKEES is to win the World Series. There are many thresholds that must be met just to get to the World Series. Every threshold is met in only one way, WINS. Wins is the only stat that determines the best players and the best teams in baseball. Over the 162 game season the teams who win their division will move on to the playoffs, and the next teams in each league with the most wins will also go on to the playoffs. The playoffs then start and only the teams that WIN each round move forward towards the World Series.
Any team that loses any round is finished for the season. Only WINS determines which teams move forward, until only one team in each league is left, and they will be the two teams who will meet in the World Series to determine which team and their players are the best in baseball. No players individual stats mean a thing on which players and teams reach the World Series. Learn this fans, if you haven't already or if you are new to baseball, only WINS determines which players are and which team is the World Champions of baseball, by winning the World Series.
The YANKEES have upgraded their lineup and roster significantly by adding Juan Soto, Alex Verdugo, and Marcus Stroman to the team for the 2024 season. Anthony Volpe will be in his second season and still on the improve. Austin Wells, a promising youngster, has been added to the catching ranks. The YANKEES, will be looking for help from several young pitchers until their 'ace' Cole returns to the starting rotation.
In other news, this blog, the WIN METHOD YANKEE baseball blog, will break two billion views in the next several months. The WIN METHOD blog is the number one YANKEE baseball blog in the world with readers and contributors of opinions from all around the world. Yes, 2,000,000,000 views, from all over the world. Thank you all, wherever you are from for your viewership and your opinions.
As the season begins, lets all get behind and support our team, the New York YANKEES, and their run to the World Series. It will not be easy, there are thirty teams with the same goal.
Again, thank you everyone, for making the WIN METHOD what it is today, the best blog, forum, or site in the world, just as you all are, the best in the world readers and posters.

Seven innings complete and Yankees clinging to a 1-0 lead.
Holmes does it again, blows another save in ninth. 1-1. Extra little league innings in a stadium built for little league baseball.
Yankees take 2-1 lead in tenth. Leiter blows game in bottom of tenth. Yankees lose heart breaker 3-2. Holmes keeps the failure lead for closers.
Great game, terrible 3-2 ten inning loss.
It seems that anytime Holmes comes into a game, the opposing team thinks it has a just to win. Holmes poor outings just keep mounting and mounting. The team plays 8 innings and hold the lead for naught. Better come up with some lock down arms come playoffs.
Sad ending last night, no matter how you look at it. When your closer blows so many games, maybe you should think he shouldn't be your closer, and you need to find one.
Democrat convention begins today. The lies, corruption, and deceit will flow freely. Bury them all with votes.
Tied for first in the division. 37 games to play in the regular season. Final steps on the far turn and down the stretch to the finish line.
Boone comments on Holmes last night// he pitched really well, just made a couple of bad pitches. Hate to lose that way, but it happens// Boone does defend his players, but he needs to realize that the results count most// I don't think fans appreciate Boone take on this.
Yankees host the Indians for a three game series starting tomorrow. Gil, Cortes, and Cole the Yankee starters.
Yankees and Orioles are tied at the top of their division after 125 games. Think of where the Yankees would be if Holmes didn't blow 10 saves.
The DNC, a lie fest from the scum of America.
After sleeping on it, last night's democrat Chicago fiasco was the radical left-wing liberal progressive manifesto describing their destruction of America. They need to be destroyed before they destroy "we the people".
THE FUTURE WITH ELECTRIC VEHICLES August 19, 2024
Interstate 80 through the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California has been shut down after an electric Tesla Semi left the road in the early hours of the morning. The truck’s immense battery pack and the crash site’s remoteness have made the fire difficult to fight, forcing California authorities to keep the arterial highway closed with no estimated reopening time.
According to a KCRA 3 newscast, the Tesla was traversing the Sierra Madre through Placer County when it left the road near Nyack, CA in unknown conditions around 3:13 a.m. It’s unclear why the truck seemingly lost control; conventional diesel semis rely on engine braking to prevent their brakes from overheating on steep mountain roads. The highly technological Tesla may have suffered any variety of mechanical or electrical problems, or even mere driver error. In any case, the resulting fire poses an unprecedented problem for emergency responders.

Update on electric vehicle catastrophe in California. The extreme consequences of owning an electric vehicle.
A Tesla Semi crashed in Northern California on Monday, triggering a hazardous materials incident after the battery ignited and sparked a raging fire that spewed toxic fumes, authorities said.
Interstate 80 near Colfax was closed in both directions after Tesla's electric big rig model crashed into trees off the shoulder of the roadway at around 3:15 a.m. Monday, California Highway Patrol (CHP) said. Officials said the semi driver walked away from the crash and was taken to a hospital.
The Tesla’s battery burned at around 1,000 degrees, and firefighters used "thousands and thousands" of gallons of water in attempts to cool the wreckage, CHP Officer Jason Lyman stated.
2-2 after 3.
3-3 thru four innings. Gil taken out in third inning with tightness in lower back.
3-3 after 7.
Extra innings tied at 3.
Going to 12th inning still tied at 3.
Yankees lose it in 12th, 9-5. The Yankees had too many failures and cost themselves the game. They had bad luck which cost them the game. and they made mistakes which cost them the game. Another tough loss, but it is only one game.
Another tough loss. 9-5 in twelve innings. Too many would'ves, could'ves, and should'ves.
The Yankees could have won last nights game many times. They never produced one time when it mattered most. The lineup is failing, as a whole, too many times. A single when it matters most is just as important as hitting a solo home run, and many times more valuable.
The joe-bama/commie MALADY administration has been lying to the American people.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy added 818,000 fewer jobs from April 2023 through March this year than were originally reported, the government said Wednesday. The revised total adds to evidence that the job market has been steadily slowing.
The Labor Department estimated that job growth averaged 174,000 a month in the year that ended in March — a drop of 68,000 a month from the 242,000 that were initially reported. The revisions released Wednesday were preliminary, with final numbers to be issued in February next year.
The downgraded estimate follows a jobs report for July that was much worse than expected, leading many economists to suggest that the Fed had waited too long to begin cutting interest rates to support the economy. The unemployment rate rose for the fourth straight month.
Yes, the scum America liberal democrats lie, over and over. They are destroying America and you.

How many times have I said it? The lineup doesn't produce when it counts, and scores runs, we lose.
I see the Obama's trying for their fourth term, brought back their 'hope and change' slogan in their orations last night in Chicago. The arena was walled with three layers of fencing and Jersey barriers. Also heavily armed and defended by armed police and national guardsmen.
Still the same corrupt couple, partners in supporting and enabling terrorists who want to destroy America and the American people. Their 'hope and joy' is America's and the American people's DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
Fool me once, fool me twice, a third time and America is done.
Soto and Judge two run home runs have Yankees ahead 4-0 after three innings.
Yanks up 7-0 after 6.
Yankees win 8-1 easily. Put up 3 crooked numbers early. Cortes seven very strong scoreless innings. Series even, rubber game tomorrow. Cole starts and a win takes series against a strong playoff team.
Tonight is the way the Yankees should play their games most of the time. Good pitching and good hitting wins almost every game. It won't happen all the time, but it should easily happen three fifths of the time. 600 ball wins every three game series.
The DNC is lying to you, all of you. That's what they do. Lie, deceit, lie, deceit, make up stories and swear the stories are true and real. Below is proof of how they take you out.
A speaker at the Democratic National Convention’s Black Caucus event Wednesday told his audience they need to "act right," at least until the election.
Rev. Mark Thompson, the host of the "Make it Plain" podcast, hosted the Black Caucus panel on Day 3 of the DNC in Chicago.
He told his compatriots that they must hold themselves in check until the election is won.
"We got 70 days to act right, y'all. Now, after 70 days, we can go back to acting crazy, right?" he said.
Lou Lis, this is exactly type of racial fear mongering that people are sick of and why American voters are so ready to turn the page on Trump's tired antics. Be better.
In my opinion I believe that the people at the DNC are sick, liberal, demented, ignorant, progressive, dumb, low IQ, democrat, communist, miserable, putrid, leftwing, braindead, sheep, disgusting, foolish, haters.

Need more of last night. Series win or lose game.
Wendy Weinberg, I agree with you. Think about this. The DNC has completed three days of their fiasco, hate filled convention. Over these three days their speakers have mentioned Donald Trumps name 314 times. More times than the names of all the democrat speakers and candidates combined.
Why? Because they have absolutely nothing to run on. Their record on the border, crime, inflation are failures. They lied about jobs created, they have created two wars, they surrendered in Afghanistan and lost American lives, Chicago is the murder capital of the world. They are destroying America. With nothing to run on, all they can do is try to denigrate Trump. Make up stories and lies, use his words out of context, mis-state his brilliant record of success, lie some more, more fake stories and so on. You know who are so stupid to fall for their baloney, all the people you mentioned in your post.
Yanks take 5-0 lead with a 4 run 5th inning capped by Stanton 3 run HR.
Yankees win 5-0 and take series with the Tribe. Cole gave up a hit to the leadoff batter and the Indiana did not get another hit for the rest of the game. Cole went six innings and three Yankee relievers each threw a scoreless inning for the shutout.
An expected win today, at least by me. Colorado Rockies in for the weekend. Same goal as always, win the series. The season is growing shorter, and do not forget Yogi, "it ain't over until it's over".
Three games with the Rockies starting tomorrow. Rodon for Yankees tomorrow, no one named for Saturday and Sunday.
Harris speech was a mish mash of lies and distortions, and an insult to intelligent voters.
If you DO NOT vote the TRUMP/VANCE ballot, you will be voting to destroy AMERICA.
Chisholm off DL and has been re-instated with Yankees. Peraza sent back to AAA.
RFK Jr. endorses Trump. Destroys democrat party as corrupt, dishonest, kept him of ballot, and no longer party of the people. Destroys Commie Harris as a liar and fraud, saying democrat party is running her for President without her ever getting a vote from any American voter. VOTE FOR TRUMP. Democrats are destroying free speech, honesty, and integrity, and honest elections. Democrat party is the party of hate, degradation, and destruction of your freedoms. Example, the democrat party prevented me from running freely for President. Media is in the pocket of the democrat party and corrupt. VOTE FOR TRUMP.

The corruption of the present 'in name only' democrat party and the corruption of the joe-bama/commie MALADY party. May they rot in hell for what they have done to the American political system. They have wreaked havoc on the American people and country. A pox on them all, and the willing media who supports them, runs cover for them, and lies for them.

Warren gets another start. Lets get the win and win this series today.
Hope Warren keeps us in the game, or better yet earns the win today. He is still learning and developing.
You have to acknowledge the courage of Robert Kennedy Jr. who displayed the character and courage to leave his party to help save America. He said what has been said on this blog for a long time now. The democrat party no longer exists. The name has been stolen by the scum of this planet, the progressive, liberal, communist, radical left-wing, terrorists, who are trying to destroy America and the American people.
Warren awful today, has given up 6 runs in three innings. Yanks in 6-1.
Perfect loss/ you only score 2 runs + your starter gives up 6 runs + your bullpen gives up 3 runs = 9-2 no doubt about it 9-2 loss.
Yankees lose 9-2. Never in it as Warren gives up 6 runs in three innings. Yankee bats silent. Now a rubber game tomorrow to win series.
Poor effort today or was it that a kid making only his fourth MLB start was that good?
Series with a sub .500 team on line tomorrow, the win is needed.
Looking for the best outcome today. Stroman great game and lineup great game.

Yanks early 4-1 lead after 2 innings. Judge 2 run HR in 1st and Torres and Soto rbi singles in 2nd.
Yanks up 4-3 after 5.
Soto, Judge, Stanton, back to back to back home runs in seventh and a 7-3 lead.
Yanks win 10-3. Stroman goes five innings allowing all Rocky runs but earns the win. Bullpen goes four scoreless innings. Judge two home runs, Soto, Stanton and Torres one home run each. Yanks take series.
Yanks win 10-3, take series. Next, three games with Washington, Monday thru Wednesday. WINS is the only stat that matters. WINS is the only stat that determines the best teams and best players. WINS is the only stat that determines which teams and players go to the playoffs.
More wins more wins more wins.
Cortes, Cole, Rodon starters in DC.
US Secret Service and FBI withholding documents regarding Trump murder attempt. Looks as if they are trying to cover up a 'hit' attempt that they are involved in.
Tom Wilson, Trump is the only reason the Democrats will win this election. If anyone needs Trump taken out it is Republicans.
Yankees have the best road record and best recorded against >.500 teams in MLB. Ready for playoffs.
Tom Wilson, Just too many coincidences. Agents ignoring the obvious. Denial of more security. USSS agents refusing same frequency radios to keep protective agencies in sync. Allowing Trump to go on with rally when knowing there where obvious issues. Etc.
So you have a corrupt USSS and FBI investigating themselves with a corrupt DHS, US attorney general, and a corrupt joe-bama/commie MALADY administration running cover and backing them up. What could go wrong?

Yankees take game one of three game series with Nats, 5-2. Soto, Judge, Stanton, 1 single in 13 at bats. 2,3,4 in batting order, a black hole tonight😊. Torres, Wells, Chisholm each with a solo HR and the big bat LeMahieu with 2 rbi's, both on sac flies. Cortes got the win going 6 2/3 innings allowing just 1 run.
Good win, a nice team win. Cole and Rodon next two games. First, win series, second, sweep series.
One win at a time, one series at a time. WIN, WINS, and more WINS. Reinforcements are right around the corner.
NJYANKEE, that was funny. Also, true. Five runs without the big guys producing anything is a good thing. Lets win two more.
A vote for Commie Harris is a vote for cancer.
You vote for Harris/Walz you are brain dead.
Judge (2) and Verdugo defensive plays really helped out Cortes last night or the outcome could have been different. Judge on one of his catches turned into a double play with a throw that got a runner trying to get back to first base. Also Wells picking a runner off of second base. A lot of good defense. Also liked LeMaheiu's two sac flies, one to right field and the other to left field.

Shut down game from Cole and 6 or 7 runs from the lineup should make for a pleasant evening.
Keep winning, and put the pressure on the teams chasing. WINS rule, always have always will.
Cole getting hit hard. After four innings Yankees trail 3-0. Bats have been silent. Not good.
Yankees do it again, but in a negative way. Poor starter pitching from Cole who takes the loss. Poor offense from the lineup, except for the 8th and 9th innings, but then failed horribly when it mattered most. Throw in horrid defense committing four errors. All combined for a 4-2 loss. Series even with rubber game tomorrow.
Last night, Yankees felt like they couldn’t be stopped. Tonight one ugly game and a loss.
Rodon gets a chance to be the hero in rubber game tomorrow.
Kamala Harris earned the name 'commie'. She is an extreme leftwing progressive liberal running for president of the United States of America. If you vote for her and if she wins, America will have a communist president and the downward spiral America is now in, will spin faster and faster destroying America a free country. You will pay the price.
ONLY ONE WAY TO AVOID COMMUNISM >> VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP.
Need a win to take series. Rodon success after Cole failure? Bats wake up?
This from the New York Times:
"Trump can win on character"
"Harris is weak and a phony and doesn't truly care about the country"
"More dismaying was her seeming ignorance"
From what I know, if Jasson Dominguez maintains his rookie status for 2025, and wins ROY, or is a top finisher, the Yankees would gain an additional draft pick at the end of the first round. Likely that is the reason the Yankees are not calling him up right now, and are waiting for the day he is cleared to maintain rookie status for next season.
In regards to Manfred and MLB, that is a disgrace to run baseball that way. To keep a player from playing because of an ignorant rule they create is despicable and a slap in the face to all baseball fans. Manfred is garbage and has always been garbage.

OK Rodon first batter HR, second batter single, steals second base, goes to third base on a wild pitch, scores on a balk. 2-0 Nats on two batters. You have to be kidding.
Yanks down 4-1 after 3.
Yankees embarrassed again, go down 5-2. Same as last night, Rodon loses it in the first few innings. Yankee bats come up empty and fail over and over. Lose series to an under .500 team.
Yanks go down 5-2. Another bad game all around. Lose series after winning first game. Better dump this slump quick.
Off day tomorrow and then home Friday for a three game weekend series with the Cardinals. Hope the rehabbing Yankees are ready to lift the team now.
The first two batters Rodon faced tonight, told you all you need to know about the game and its outcome.
Still clinging to first place in division.
YankeeMike, the Yankees need to bring Dominquez up as soon as possible. The rule instituted regarding extra draft picks is Barbra Streisand. And he needs to be in the middle of the order and play EVERY game from then on.
No voter, none, not one, has cast a vote for Harris to enable her to run for president of the USA ever. She was hand picked by the most corrupt administration in America's history, the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration. Harris will be the final nail in America's and the American people's coffin. The end is that close and the end of a free civilized America is on the ballot in the 2024 presidential election.
A vote for Harris is a vote to destroy America.
VOTE FOR TRUMP and save yourself, your family, and America.
The US ARMY has issues a statement rebuking the Trump campaign for a photo op (Trump doing "thumbs up" photos at graves, taking pictures of fallen soldiers graves without consent, and posting them on TikTok) at Arlington National Cemetery, and for pushing aside staff trying to protect this national shrine.

TRUMP is like the good guardian angel on your 'right' shoulder showing you the way to a great life. Commie is the evil devil on your 'left' shoulder telling to follow her path to a better life; but the her path takes you to hell.

Yankee lose a heartbreaker, coming from 6-1 score 4 in 8th and had a chance in the 9th to tie and or win it. Details are long and take away from seeing it for yourself, if you can watch the 8th and 9th innings on replay. From little chance to almost.
A game of inches, a loss by inches. Final 6-5.
New month, the final month of the regular 162 game MLB season and then on to the playoffs. Coming down the stretch and everything looks good for the Yankees to qualify for the playoffs.

The truth comes out and destroys the left-wing liberal scum joe-bama/commie MALADY administration and commie Harris.
The Gold Star families who invited Donald Trump to Arlington National Cemetery have issued a statement defending the former president amid the controversy. They have claimed that it is Kamala Harris, and not Trump, who is politicizing fallen members of the US military.
The Trump campaign has shared a statement made by relatives of some of the 13 American military service members who died in a suicide bombing in 2021 during the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. “President Trump was invited by us, the Gold Star families, to attend the solemn ceremonies commemorating the three-year anniversary of our children’s deaths,” the statement read. “He was there to honor their sacrifice, yet Vice President Harris has disgracefully twisted this sacred moment into a political ploy.”
Trump faced backlash after it was reported that his campaign staff “verbally abused and pushed” a cemetery official who tried to prevent them from taking photos and filming at the gravesite. Harris later accused Trump of staging a “political stunt” at the cemetery that “disrespected sacred ground.”
Trump supporters and Gold Star families flooded Harris' X account after her Arlington attack on Trump. "The Biden/Harris administration killed my son" stated the family of one of the deceased marines.
''You should be ashamed and embarrassed about your lack of empathy and decency as a human being,'' another Gold Star family member stated in a message to Harris.

Scoreless thru three.
Rodon throws 99 pitches going six innings. Strikes out 11 and gives up one hit. But leaves game down 1-0. Yankees have three innings to score. A nice crooked number would work out fine.
Yanks score 2 in 7th and 2 in 8th and take 4-1 lead mid 8th.
Here we go again. Bottom of 9th. Yanks up 4-3. Holmes in for the save try. Ground out to second baseman. One out. Line single to centerfield. One on one out. Stolen base, tying run on second base. Walk. Men on first and second one out. Holmes being Holmes. Walk bases loaded one out. Grand slam, Yanks lose 7-4. Holmes pathetic. No longer in first place in division. Is it time to say Holmes is a disgrace!!
Holmes blows another game, Yanks lose on walk off grand slam 7-4.
Yanks go down 7-4 as Holmes fails again when it matters most for his 11th blown save and he earns another loss also.
Rodon deserved better than a no decision tonight. Another series, another rubber game tomorrow. Do we win one or lose three straight?
Stroman starting rubber game for Yankees against Rangers, after Yankees give away another game.
Another Holmes nightmare loss last night. Yanks are headed in the wrong direction.
What irritates me is there is no emotion emanating from Holmes. Inside of him, who knows, failure may be eating him up, maybe he doesn't care.
The Yankees simply can't continue using Holmes as the closer. It’s to the point now where he may be experiencing significant psychological harm. Boone might think it’s being supportive to keep using him to close, but please, no more. It isn’t even a surprise when he blows a save. When he walked the second batter, I was almost certain it would be a loss. The grand slam was just the loss with a cherry on top.

Rubber game, Wells out.
Yanks down 2-0 after 3.
The Yanks lose 10-6 but it wasn't close at all. No pitching from the starter or the bullpen. The replacement players scored 4 runs in the ninth inning. Lost third series in a row. Now a rest day tomorrow - from losing?
After off day today, Yanks go to Chicago to face Cubs in three game weekend series. Gil starts Friday, then Saturday Schmidt starts making his return after three month injury. Sunday, it will be Cole starting. The Yankees will be in the playoffs, but if they want to win the division, they need to play much better and win many more games.
The corruption of the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration marches on.
From the U.S. Department of Labor
""Nonfarm payroll growth revised down by 818,000, Labor Department says.""
The U.S. economy created 818,000 fewer jobs than originally reported in the 12-month period through March 2024, the Labor Department reported Wednesday.
As part of its preliminary annual benchmark revisions to the nonfarm payroll numbers, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said the actual job growth was nearly 30% less than the initially reported 2.9 million from April 2023 through March of this year.
The revision to the total payrolls level of -0.5% is the largest since 2009. The numbers are routinely revised each month, but the BLS does a broader revision each year when it gets the results of the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages.
The corruption and criminality of Joe 'Brandon' Biden and Kamala "commie" Harris.
Clarification >> All three games with the Cubs in Chicago are afternoon games starting at 2:20 PM EST. Gil, Schmidt, Cole. A sweep would be sweet.
Merrick Garland the most radical leftwing liberal criminal U.S. Attorney General in the history of America.
Wonder what we will see from Gil and Schmidt. One coming off a short DL stint and the other a very long DL stay.
What AG Garland did today was blame Russia for disseminating "fake'" stories about all the things the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration has done in FACT to America and the American people over their tenure. Garland is a disgrace as a human being, a disgrace to his title, has no character nor integrity and the sooner he is gone the better for the country.

Yankees using left handed lineup against left handed pitcher today.
Guy Padikian, maybe the powers that be, after losing so consistently using right handed lineups against lefty pitchers, they decided on a different approach.
Yanks lead 3-0 thru five.
Gil goes six completely dominant six scoreless innings allowing just one hit, and leaves with a 3-0 lead. Now for the bullpen.
Yanks up 3-0 after 8 innings. Gil goes 6 shutout innings. Cousins a shutout 7th and Kahnle a shutout 8th.
The post prolific MLB post season home run hitter of all time, bar done.
Given the current playoff format did not exist at the time, all of Mantle’s 18 home runs in the playoffs came when they mattered most – in the World Series. The 1964 World Series would be his final with the Yankees, and even as his body began to break down at age 32, he managed to put three balls out of the park in a losing effort against the Cardinals. Still, his excellence would fuel the Yankees to seven World Series titles during his time with the team. Along with Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle would comprise the greatest three outfielders in baseball history.
Here we go again, Luke Weaver in as closer in today's game. First batter, strike out looking, one out. Second batter, strike out swinging. Third batter, walk. One on, two outs. Fourth batter, ground out to second baseman. Weaver gets his first save ever and Yankees win 3-0.
Final. Yanks win 3-0 on a four pitcher one hitter. Judge rbi double and Well 2 rbi single all the runs. Cousins and Kahnle earn holds and Weaver earns the save as Holmes watches the game.
Yankees win series opener with Cubs 3-0. Only one Cub hit by Gil who earns the win going six innings, Cousins and Kahnle get saves for shutout 7th and 8th inning. Weaver gets a no drama save with a scoreless 9th.
Gil had an ace outing today. Gave his team every chance in the world, and back to back hits by Judge and Wells for three runs was all that was needed and all each team got. Yanks 3 Cubs 0.
Schmidt return tomorrow. Long stint on DL. Hope he does well.

Not knowing what to expect from Schmidt today, control, length, etc. Have to hope for big game from lineup.
Judge has not been doing well at all, for over a week now. Do for a breakout game. Hope it comes when it matters most.
Yanks up 1-0 after 3.
Schmidt with an excellent first comeback start. Goes 4 2/3 innings allowing no runs.
The Yankee bats were lacking today, scoring just 2 runs. However Schmidt was sparkling in his return going 4 2/3 scoreless innings. Then Cortes came in and went 4 1/3 innings of scoreless pitching. Two scoreless games in a row from the Yankee pitchers. Sweet.
3-0 yesterday and 2-0 win today takes this series. Finally a series win. Cole tomorrow and hope for a sweep.
Cole goes tomorrow for the series sweep and keep putting goose eggs on the scoreboard.
Point of information. In the last two games the Yankees have scored 5 runs. 4 on rbi's and 1 on an error. Judge has 1 rbi and Wells has 3 rbi's. Now go back in this blog and see when WIN METHOD told us that Wells would be the next Yankee catcher of the future, and did it when Wells was in the low minor leagues.
In 1968, in the midst Democratic convention riots, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley famously declared, “The policeman isn’t there to create disorder; the policeman is there to preserve disorder.”
Democratic state election officials appear to have adopted a similar approach to the upcoming election. In states such as North Carolina and Michigan, Democrats are fighting to keep the name of Robert Kennedy, Jr. on the ballot even though he withdrew from the race and endorsed former president Donald Trump. These are key states where the misplacement of even 1 percent of votes could turn the outcome of not just the state but the entire election.
In Michigan, Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson recently fought to keep third-party candidate Cornel West off the ballot. Unlike Kennedy, who is viewed as likely to drain votes from Trump, West is viewed as pulling votes from Vice President Kamala Harris, particularly among those opposed to her policies toward Israel.
A court ruled against Benson and said that she was adopting an artificially narrow interpretation to keep Kennedy on the ballot.
In North Carolina, where Trump and Harris are in a statistical tie, Democrats also refused to remove Kennedy’s name. An appellate court this week ordered them to do so to avoid the obvious confusion for voters.
The democrat party no longer exists, but in name. It is now the party of radical left wing liberal scum of the world that need to be eradicated forever.
How about a sweep today.

Yankees face an old teammate today. Just take care of business.
After 18 scoreless innings the Cubs score 2 first inning runs off the Cole, the Yankee 'ace'?
Yanks trail 2-1 after five.
Yanks lose 2-1 on Torres error giving Cubs 2 unearned runs and the win.
Yankees win series scoring just 6 runs over 3 games. Pitching great, but for Cole first inning today when he failed to produce when it mattered most. The runs were unearned because of a Torres error that extended the inning. But Cole couldn't get the third out with men on first and second with two outs until he walked the bases loaded, then giving up the game winning 2 rbi single for all the Cubbie runs and the loss.
Yankee pitching allowed no earned runs to the Cubs in three games and only go 2-1 in series, compliments of Gleyber 'stone hands' Torres. aka Mr. Error.
Yankees now head home, on a sour note, hosting the KC Royals for three night games, M,T,&W. Rodon, Stroman and Gil Yankee starters.
I saw the comments about today's loss. In my view, no question Torres error extended the inning and put a man on base. His error meant there were men on 1st and 2nd with two outs an your best pitcher on the mound. Isn't he supposed to pick up his teammate and end the inning? What did Cole do? Walked the next batter, loaded the bases putting two men in scoring position. What did Cole do? Gave up a 2 rbis single. The is WIN METHOD failure at any level, and it cost him and his team the game. Cole did not produce an out when it meant the most.
As of now, the only scheduled Presidential debate is 45 hours away. The debate will be between former President Donald J. Trump and the now present Vice President Kamala commie Harris, a liberal radical leftwing lunatic who is trying to destroy America and the American people. Tune in watch the debate and see for yourself the difference between a great candidate in Donald Trump and a useless lying communist in Kamala commie Harris.
anonymous, I wish you had a name. but your post is accurate. The people need to vote for Trump.

Do you see what I see! Dominguez and Cabrera in lineup. Stanton and Volpe out. Seven lefty bats in lineup at the Stadium. I've got high hopes, high in the sky hopes.
Win or lose I love this lineup.
The Martian has landed. Hopefully for good and a very long time. Lets go Yankees.
What a pleasant surprise to see Jasson Dominguez in the lineup. Cabrera in for Volpe except for speed is no downgrade at shortstop. This lineup is impressive.
How about this group in the playoffs. Love it.
I wish I had a ticket for tonight's game. The Stadium will be rocking. Hope the fans, the team and all us fans get a win.
