A pity that $198 million doesn't go as far as it used to. The "Greatest Lineup in Baseball History" has managed three runs the past two games, and one more loss will produce this startling new baseball reality: A postseason final four featuring only one of the game's 12 highest Opening Day payrolls.
The Yankees, Red Sox, Angels and White Sox began the season as the game's top four spenders. The Mets and Dodgers, opponents in a National League Division Series, were fifth and sixth. The next postseason teams on the list were the Cardinals, who ranked 13th, and the Tigers, who were 14th.
The Greatest Lineup in Baseball History was 0-for-18 with men on base, making it 1-for-32 in the past two games. Four times the Yankees put the leadoff man on base and failed to even advance the runner.
It isn't just Rodriguez who is falling apart; Bobby Abreu, the Yankees' No. 3 hitter, attempted to bunt three times in Game 3. He also failed to catch a Carlos Guillen liner that fell in front of him and triggered the Tigers' three-run second inning. It was the kind of performance that demonstrated why the Phillies soured on him.

Fact: since 2005 playoffs Randy Johnson sucks and at the end of the 2006 season he had an ERA of 5.00 .
Bobby Abreu is overated and isnt much of an big offense player like all the critics said he was.
A-Rod sucks and should be sent back to the minors or have his salary cut to 8 million.
The yankees defense struggled just like in 05 vs Anaheim.
The obnoxious and arrogant yankee fans at yankee stadium are no help to the yankees either. Hillary Clintons prefered team is about to be eliminated.
Tigers: Kenny Rogers may have had a funny season with only 99 strikeouts but he has shown critics that his postseason pitching is superior. Jered Verlander also showed he is better then what his critics think.
Then theres robertson and bonderman who are also above average pitchers. Tigers had the best overall ERA in pitching this season and it appears to be what is silencing the Yankees who have the best lineup in baseball. I would have to say ALDS MVP is Kenny Rogers and his 7 scoreless innings.
It does look like the 2 most rioting citys will face each other in the ALCS (Detroit and Oakland). Well since I hate the Oakland Bay-Area Liberals alot more I am gonna have to root for the Tigers.
Also supposely the Tigers have the fastest pitcher in MLB history.
Zumbaya - who is a reliever pitcher threw a 104 mph pitch during the 2006 season.
He has thrown 103 mph in the playoffs this year.
