Kenny Rogers with pine tar on hand...???

[Coppermine]

Does anyone else believe that he planted that brown stuff on his left hand to deflect attention away from the fact that he fits every possible profile of a steroids/greenies guy? I mean, let's say you just returned from a three-week safari in Africa and I told you, "Yo, there's this veteran pitcher in his early 40s with a storied track record for choking in big games, only now he's working on a 22-inning scoreless streak in October and punctuating each start by screaming after every out and stomping around like a crazy homeless guy trying to clear out a bus stop?" Wouldn't your first thought be, "What's he taking?" Instead, we're worried about some mud on his hand? Somebody make this guy pee in a cup, please.

I think you need to look at his history. Especially with cameras and cameramen...

Well, it's really just a joke... but yeah, Rogers is a hot head, but he never went around screaming like he has this October.

That is hilarious!

Anyway, I'd assume that Kenny Rogers is ok because he knows when to fold 'em.

jd, that picture you posted verifies that the substance is in fact pine-tar, or at least some other form of sticky, shiny substance when rubbed on the skin. You have to think that if there is a game 6 and Rogers is pitching, then he won't be able to use it again. That's when things will get really interesting. Of course I am surprised StL didn't hit him hard in the later innings last night. I'll give him some credit...but, not as much as most people are giving him. And all of this from someone who is definitely rooting for Detroit.

Just because the color is gone doesn't mean that the tack is.
