Close the deal

Tonight is Game 6 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium, another chance for the Yankees to win World Championship No. 27, this time in front of their fans for the first time since 1999.

What's been said has been written. What's been documented has been digested. The Yankees now have to get the job done, defeat a tough, and gallant Philadelphia Phillies team that just so happens to be the defending champions.

As a journalist I am obligated to tell it like it is whether the Yankees win or lose 10-0. As fans we cannot control the outcome. As fans you can control the environment. Phillies fans are among the best and they went crazy showing support for their team. Tonight it's Yankees fans' turn.

Whether you root for the Yankees or Phillies, here's something to pump you up. Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez has one of the more dramatic entrances in the UFC. Only he knows how he'll enter the Octagon before his shot at B.J. Penn's lightweight title December 12 in Memphis. Count on some more Tony Robbins influence.
