On the Way Out ...

I never enjoyed watching Randy Johnson pitch in the postseason. In 1995, he came in from the bullpen to shut down the Yankees as the Mariners won game 5 of the Division Series. In 2001, he and Curt Shilling proved that 2 dominant starting pitchers can win the World Series. Fast forward to 2005 and 2006. Randy Johnson is still pitching, but this time for the Yankees. He loses all the playoff games he pitches in.

So, I'm not sad that Johnson has been traded. Neither is David Letterman:
"Maybe you heard about this: Randy Johnson, used to play for the Diamondbacks, came to play for the New York Yankees -- well, he's been traded back to the Diamondbacks. It's crazy. So, now this season, the oldest, most overpriced thing at Yankee Stadium will be the hot dogs."
