- Walmart reporting "better than expected" third quarter earnings due to summer bargain hunting and "well-timed" employee layoffs.
- Russell Crowe winning the New York Film Review Board's supporting actor's nod for his turn as a down-and-out off-broadway impresario who teaches inner-city youth to love their bodies and themselves while updating the Hunchback of Notre Dame for South Chicago audiences in the independent film "Heaven and the Humpback."
- Microsoft releasing version 3.0 of its critically-acclaimed Bing! search engine with better structured search for local and real estate listings.
- Tom Cruise receiving a "People's Choice" award for his "unusually original, given the precedents" portrayal of a sexy and ambitious sports agent, who when faced with non-trivial adversity, responds with panache -- and a tagline that takes America by storm: "Give me my pocketbook, baby!"
- "Michael Jackson's This Is It" becoming the best-selling musical performance documentary ever in Eastern European markets.
- Greg and Bryant Gumbel receiving a "Bob Costas Distinguished Award of Merit in Sports Broadcasting" for three decades of sibling excellence in sports journalism.
- Oprah Winfrey and Emeril Lagasse teaming up for yet another commercially successful venture in middle-market tablewares targeted to suburban family micro-niches.
- The United States finally winning the rights, after some risky public evangelism from Vice President Joseph Biden, to finally host the Pan Am Games, after a 28-year American prestige gap, in the beautiful Mid-Atlantic city of Baltimore, MD.
How do we appropriately measure this singular moment in history? It's hard to do (and no less hard to fathom), but the comments section awaits your attempt. Help me benchmark the long-awaited epiphanic thrust of the New York baseball canon!

The NY Yankees winning the 2009 World Series is as exciting as...
…Exxon-Mobil claiming the winning bid for developing the world’s largest new oil field, the bid being paid using a small portion of the federal tax returns coming back from the US Government. And the new oil field happens to be located directly under the National Mall.
I wonder what John Lackey must think about how long Sosh left Juan Rivera in the playoff lineup?

Hey guys...what's with all the hate?
I mean, this team of lovable workhorses—oh wait…
Well, what I meant was these guys were underdogs and fought through to win…oh, wait a second….
Geez, it’s not like these guys are multi-millionares and date movie stars…opps, wrong again….
At LEAST it was cool to see because it’s been such a long time since there last title….or, wait, it was only 8 years ago.
Yeah, I guess there is no good reason to congratulate them. Yuck the Fankees!

Exciting at watching paint dry...
Since it’s something that’s supposed to happen, it doesn’t really amount to anything. Yawn…. (crickets chirping)…. Turn the page.

The A-Fraud I dropped in Yankee Stadium last night.
Well, actually it was my toilet, but it’s roughly the same size as Yankee Stadium and I put A-Fraud in there every time I’m home just like the Yankees so….
Now that I think about it, mine was way more exciting than the real thing. Sorry for wasting your time.

Thank the East Coast Media bias,
which failed to properly promote the interest in these earlier title runs, protecting all that space on the fair-weather bandwagon for Yankee fans throughout the nation to rear their ugly heads in 2009.
Had I owned the Pittsburgh Pirates, I could have saved America.
