> After stunning reversal, Yankees take AL pennant

> In what analysts are calling a bold and decisive move, President
> George W. Bush today signed an executive order declaring the Boston
> Red Sox retroactively ineligible for post-season play, thereby
> awarding the American League pennant to the New York Yankees.
>
> I said it in 1993, and Ill say it again today, Bush told a group of
> admirers, each of whom had written a 2000-word essay on why they
> should be allowed to bask in the glory of his presence, the wild card
> is bad for baseball. I said that history would prove me right, and it
> has. It always does. Dont ask me about mistakes, young lady thats
> a trick question, and dont think I dont know it. The wild card is an
> exercise in folly, and it must be stopped now before it weakens our
> nation any further.
>
> Bushs remarkable, bold, and also decisive decision came only hours
> after the Boston Red Sox had scrambled back from a 3-0 deficit to
> defeat the Yankees in four straight games, winning the climactic game
> seven in a rout. The Sox dramatic rally was unprecedented in major
> league baseball history, as is the Presidents subsequent reversal of
> the outcome.
>
> People dont want to see a second-place team crowned League
> Champions, Bush explained. You cant send mixed messages. You cant
> flip flop and say, well, one team won one thing but another team won
> another. It doesnt show leadership. It doesnt show resolve.

> Asked by one timid, quivering supporter whether the executive order

> their 1997 and 2003 World Series victories, Bush replied that the
> playoff outcomes of previous years lay outside federal jurisdiction.
> I believe in freedom, and I think you have to leave those decisions
> up to the individual states, said a fiercely smiling Bush, who has
> longstanding family connections in Florida. The questioner was
> promptly led away in handcuffs and charged with criminal impertinence.

> In Sacramento, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger followed
> Bushs remarks with a press release stating that Republican stronghold
> Anaheim will be permitted to retain its World Series victory in 2002
> rather than cede it to the girlie-men of San Francisco.

> The Yankees will open the World Series on Saturday against either the
> St. Louis Cardinals or the Houston Astros. The National League
> championship series is not affected by the executive order.
