Yep. Congratulations to the Yankees. They've had a superb end to the season considering their very early season form.

Though to be honest, I think their pitching has been more the cornerstone of their success than their batting - Jeter and Cano have had excellent seasons, Teix has shown flashes of brilliance, but A-Rod seems to be in a pick-up-the-pay-check mode and given the difference he shows between regular season and post-season the Yankees should possibly look at ditching the DH and letting the pitchers bat in their lineup (assuming there's a suitable backup 3B)

If we both get to the ALCS (assuming those Rangers remember to lose occassionally!) I think you'll need to go to a new closer - as great as Rivera is, he's known to the Red Sox - he took the game last night to the edge getting runners to 2nd and 3rd with one out (I think).
