From the Wall Street Journal's Opinion Journal:

The Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees in Game 7 of the
American League Championship Series. The Sox will face the St. Louis
Cardinals in the World Series. But the Yankees, who won the first
three games in the series before going to lose four straight, had
more runs in the series (45-41), which means the Sox may have a
pennant, but they lack a mandate. The Yanks last won a World Series in 2000,
defeating the New York
Mets in five games. Since then it's been a series of disappointments:

a.. 2001: Lost World Series to Arizona Diamondbacks in seven games.
b.. 2002: Lost Division Series to Anaheim Angels in four.
c.. 2003: Lost World Series to Florida Marlins in six.
d.. 2004: Lost Championship Series to Red Sox in seven.
What happened since the Yankees won their last World Series? New York
elected Hillary Clinton, an Illinois native who had falsely declared
herself a "lifelong Yankees fan," to the Senate. After this offense,
it seems, even having the Republican Convention in New York was not
enough to appease the baseball gods.

I just *knew* it was Clinton's fault!
