Empire strikes back!

Although back in my old routine (i.e. work work work) I feel need to share with you my joy that the balance in force was restored and the universe returned back to order. In a galaxy of stars on sports' sky there is no brighter star then New York Yankees!

As even the brighter ones (double pun intended - wonder who would understand it actually) of you have probably noticed Yankees became World Champions for the 27th time after winning sixth game of their 40th World Series.

By beating Philadelphia Phillies in six games they ended nine year drought since their last championship in 2000. The four "fathers" from the previous dynasty (Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera and Jorge Posada) - a.k.a. The Core - surrounded by highly (Alex Rodriguez, C.C. Sabathia) and not so highly (just about anyone else) paid ballplayers did not hesitate to wrap up World Series at home and confirm Yankees' position as the winning-est team in baseball.

Only minor kink on this beautiful day is awareness of the fact that on our way to the 27th pennant we were not able to trash the Red Sox. Let us enjoy tomorrow's parade through Canyon of Heroes and soak in glare of glory :) Let's go Yankees!

May the force be with you!
