So Randy Johnson didn’t get the job done. The Yankees, lost, 6-0, and are on the verge of elimination. Tiger fans probably wish this were a celebratory photo of Kenny Rogers, but sadly, this is more about the Yankees than anything. The $200 million payroll, the outstanding regular season despite the absence of Matsui and Sheffield, and of course, that otherworldly lineup that is supposed to have pitchers begging for mercy before taking the mound.

A quick perusal of the blogs:

Did Kenny Rogers cut a deal with the devil? Where’d that curve come from? Wasn’t he a choke artist? (Bronx Banter)

Not a lot of confidence in Jaret Wright. (Pinstripe Alley)

But wait! Wright did come through in Game 7 of the World Series once. Nine years ago. (Off the Façade)

Losing to Kenny Rogers in October is like like Jessica Simpson whoop you in Jeopardy!. (Was Watching)
