Raise your champagne glasses!! This deserves a toast :-D
We did it guys!!! Or should i say, they did it. Heck, we all did it :-D.
I am sooo proud of our guys!! These pictures bring forreal tears into my eyes. I swear, i wouldnt trade ANYTHING in the world for being a Yankee fan 
. I love this team and this sport so much more than words can describe. Through the ups and downs that this team has been through, especially this year, i will always be proud of them.
After the game ended last night, it was like a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders. I immediately reached for my phone, called up a few friends to scream in their ears, and then sent a tex message to each Yankee fan in my phone book. Word for word, here's what the text message said:
"Congratulations to all my Yankee fan friends!! :-D We are officially in with our win tonite! Remember being down 14.5 games? They (ESPN bum analysts especially) said we'd never make it but look at us now!! In your face, Steve Phillips (cant stand him). Its been a long tough season, but we made it through!! Now lets get that #27!! Yahhh!!! :-D"
That text says it all.
What a roller coaster ride this season has been. Man, i thought it couldnt get tougher than last year, but this season knocked me upside the head!! Wow. Can you imagine at one point we were beneath the Devil Rays??? But yet, i never lost faith in my team. I did have some times in the year when my optimism levels were at all time lows, but in the end, optimism wins again!!
Man, i'm proud of these guys. Everyone...from B. Cash to the skipper Joe, to all the young guys that stepped up, to Posada, to Jeet, to Deki, to Bobby, my Andy, Alex, Robbie, Mo, Farnsie, Melky, man...everybody!! Even Scottie before he left (i miss him :-()....i'm soooo proud of all these guys!!!
But this is only the beginning. We still have a lot of work to do because in true Yankee tradition, we always strive for excellence, and nothing less. You've gotta take baby steps of course, but in the end, our goal is number 27.
I'm gonna take it a day at a time till then. Just enjoy it as it comes. =)
Everyday just became a celebration!!! 
Let's Go Yankees!!!
Amen from The Heartland Lola, Amen! I've been basking in this all night and morning, wearing my Yankees fleece pullover today on the cool morning as an extra reminder of the greatness of this accomplishment. And as you well know, this was great. I always tell my family that I wouldn't trade them for the whole world. Though not quite on par with family, I still say the same about being a Yankees fan. I'm especially happy that some players such as Jeter, Matsui, Cano, Mientkiewicz, and Damon seem to be rounding into at just the right time for the playoffs. There's nothing like October baseball, nothing.
The HDLR was hopping last night, and Mike and I chewed the fat about this win for a good hour and a half after it was done. I hear you about the tears. Listening to Torre, A-Rod and Mientkiewicz being interviewed in the champagne-soaked clubhouse, they were all choked up, and it was great to hear. I couldn't help but get a little misty-eyed myself, having stuck it out through a very tough season.
Keep up the good work, and Let's Go, Yankees!
