Very simple. In October of 2000 the Yankees won their 4th consecutive world series. Then just one month later in November of 2000 the people of NY elect Hillary Clinton as senator and the yankees have not won since including losing in ways that have never happened before. Even becoming the first team to blow a 3-0 lead. Even Babe Ruth's daughter was rooting for the D-Backs in 2001.
I am watching game 2 of this double header and the pitching has been horrible. The Yanks have been reduced to using Mike Myers in the bottom of the 6th to pitch to a right handed batter. Boy Doofus Hansen came on in the top of the 7th to load the bases with 1 out.
10-7 now and the game is 3.5 hours old in the top of the 7th.
