Secrets are hard to keep.

Secrets are hard to keep.
You can think all you want, but speaking is the spark for the fire of action.
The Yankees have an uncanny ability to win.

The Post Game 5 round-up
After watching the Yankees come from behind in Game 4, I cursed them because they increased my stress ten-fold. If they were planning on winning, why did they wait until the very last out. Let the fans relax on a calm Wednesday evening. But they did it again in Game 5. A tired fan, lying on his couch, battling exhaustion, can still jump up and down as ties up the game in the bottom of the ninth, with two outs. If you guys do it too much, we'll expect it to happen next time.

This time, Scott Brosius played the role of Tino Martinez and Alfonso Soriano was Derek Jeter. Unfortunately, Byung-Hyun Kim was still Byung-Hyun Kim.

There was something magical about the consecutive comebacks that left the Yankees one win away from a 27th World Series title.

This is the most successful franchise in professional sports history, and before the Series began, the Diamondbacks were asked if they were concerned by the mystique and aura of the Yankees.

They laughed it off, with Curt Schilling saying mystique and aura sounded like a couple of dancers at a local nightclub.

After Brosius, just 3-for-16 in the Series as he walked to the plate, hit the game-tying homer, a sign appeared in the stands at Yankee Stadium.

"Appearing Nightly," it said, "Mystique and Aura."
