I woke up sad today, but realized that it's not over. There is a Game 7 tonight.  Many have been speculating who will win and look, there is no real way to know anything.  It's just a matter of if a player, or players feel good out there... if they don't overhype themselves, if they click, whatever it is. 

I feel confident in my team and I wanted to share a few other feelings about our New York Yankees.  At least what I'm about to share will put you at ease, and trust me, reading through all of this, I feel better now. Enjoy this Yankee fans....

"CC Sabathia will bring his A game. The 37-year-old has come up huge for the Yankees time and time again this postseason. He’ll do it again on Saturday, for a variety of reasons.

He’s the most experienced Yankee in elimination games this year. Twice times the Yankees have needed Sabathia with their season on the line and twice he’s come through..."

Mike O'Hara texted me this after I woke up this morning:

"We need CC to feed them some serious STFU cake tonight.  The Big Man will lead us tonight. Yankees will take this game."

I received a true Yankee fan vibe from my very good friends from Australia, Joey and Charles Moses who never disappoint me.

This is them last night. These positive vibes work, folks...Yankee fans on the other side of the world. Think about that. I love these guys! This is my extended family, and it's all because of BleedingYankeeBlue.com.

And back to Brendan Kuty at NJ.com who give us this extra positive vibe:

"The bats will get to Charlie Morton. They did last time, didn’t they? In Game 3, the Yankees tagged the right-hander for seven earned runs on six hits and two walks in 3 2/3 innings at Yankee Stadium.

It happened quickly. Morton got two outs into the second inning when the Yankees strung together a pair of hits (Starlin Castro, Aaron Hicks) and Todd Frazier rocked an opposite-field home run to immediately put him in an 3-0 hole. He got through the third inning, and then a double, a walk, a single and a hit-by-pitch later and manager A.J. Hinch was pulling him for reliever Will Harris."

It's true, they have Morton's number.

My buddy Frank sent me this text...

"Doesn't matter who they put out there tonight, Yankee bats are there, and the only true pitchers the Yankees have trouble with are Verlander and maybe McCullers.  I don't include Keuchel in there just because they seemed to have figured him out, moving up in the batters box like Little Leaguers.  It was quite impressive. All I'm saying is the Yankees have a nice shot tonight.  Gotta stay confident... gotta fight hard."

My dad, who reads BYB and has been a Yankee fan since he was a 15 year old usher at Yankee Stadium texted me this...

"Yo... GO Yankees... YES!"

He's still learning how to text. Forgive him.

And back to Brendan Kuty... with another piece of wisdom:

"Then the Yankees' bullpen will take over. Manager Joe Girardi will have everybody in his pitching staff available to him in Game 7 — except for Chad Green who pitched 2 1/3 innings and 38 pitches Friday night. Expect him to go to David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle first before handing the ball to Aroldis Chapman, who could enter the game as soon as the top of the eighth inning. It’s been a formula that’s worked well all season."

Here's my buddy Lou:

"Tommy Kahnle is the most important part of this Yankee pen besides Chad Green, and Green won't be available.  The pen can do this.  Joe needs to be smart with CC, and utilize all our guys.  We got this."

And this is what I'm talking about folks.  Yankee fans believe.  Even beat writers believe.  And it's exciting to see that, because in the past, we'd be feeling out of it right about now... but many don't. And I like this about this team.  It's exciting.

If you have doubts... don't.  Yankee fans have spoken.

Like my buddy said... "We got this."
