Oct 2000.. . .The Yanks last won a World Series defeating the New York Mets in five games.

Nov. 2000....New York elects Hillary Clinton, an Illinois native who declares herself "A lifelong Yankees fan," to the Senate.

Since then it's been a series of disappointments:

2001: The usually reliable Mariano Rivera get roughed up in the 9th inning of game 7 and the Yankees lose the World Series to Arizona Diamondbacks.

2002: An 8 run 5th inning finishes the Yankees as they Lose the Division Series to Anaheim Angels in four.

2003: Lost World Series to Florida Marlins in six in which the Marlins become the first opposing team to win the World Series at Yankee Stadium since 1981.

2004: In the biggest choke in sports history, after being up 3-0 the Yankees lose Championship Series to Red Sox in seven.

2005: Yankees bat 0.194 with runners in scoring position and lose Division Series to Anaheim Angels in five.

2006: Touted by some as having the best offense of all time, the Yankees after winning game 1 in a series that everyone and their mom thought they would sweep, the Yankee bats fall asleep including a stretch where they were shut out for 20 2/3 innings and lose the Division Series to the Tigers 3-1

2007: After an amazing come back in the season to get the wild card, the Yankees lose to the Indians in 4 games. Most notably in game 2 where a plague of flies swarmed the field causing reliever Joba Chamberlain to lose control a give up the tying runs. When Hillary 1st ran she refused to travel to upstate New York because she claimed there were too many flies, well it looks like the flies got revenge on the Yankees..

Coincidence? I think not

Unfortunately it affects ALL New York teams as no New York Team has won any championship in any sport since Hillary was elected. Giants in 2001, Buffalo Sabers in 2006, Mets in 2006 and 2007 all have come close but have also gone down in disappointing fashion.

LOL!

Go Indians!

Great synopsis. And that photo is telling, very telling. Can you tell me which one is the nag and which one is the horse’s a**?

[GOP_Lady]

Those flies are called “Canadian Soldiers.”

[Chi-townChief]

Good points.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

So from this we can extrapolate that if Hitlery is elected POTUS, every team in America will lose from then on.

Great analysis ... I especially like the Revenge of the Flies explanation.

But, consider also that the Yankees have not won a World Series without Chris Chambliss since Steinbrenner bought the club except for the 1976 Series where it was Chris' home run again the Royals that put them in the Series. They lost the 1976 Series to Cincinnati, but since that time, under Steinbrenner, the Yanks have only won the World Series when Chris was a part of the team:

Chambliss as a Yankee player
1976 - lost (but his home run put them in the Series)
1977 - won
1978 - won

Chambliss in Atlanta
1981 - lost

Chambliss as a Yankee coach
1996 - won
1998 - won
1999 - won
2000 - won

Chambliss fired after 2000 season
2001 - lost
2003 - lost

just another bit of nearly useless baseball trivia

That’s nothing... You want to talk about a curse?

The witch was born in Chicago in ‘47. Cubs’ last trip to World Series was in ‘45. Between her and the goat (how can we tell the difference?) - we’re screwed!

2006: Touted by some as having the best offense of all time, the Yankees after winning game 1 in a series that everyone and their mom thought they would sweep, the Yankee bats fall asleep including a stretch where they were shut out for 20 2/3 innings and lose the Division Series to the Tigers 3-1

and a big thank you to the curse for helping my tigers see the world series again. :)

[dashing doofus]

The Curse of the Bambino was lifted almost immediately after Hillary came out: to declare herself a Yankee fan.

Now, with her and Julie Annie firmly in the Yankee$ corner, I hope and expect they will not win in this century.
