New York Yankee Meltdown: The Lenny Kravitz Effect

But what I really want to know is
Are you gonna go my way ?
And I got to got to know

Who, even those lost in the midst sweet smelling Jamaica vacation, would have imagined the profound effect Lenny Kravitz would have on the world of sport?

A Rod is mad for Madonna. Meanwhile the spurned Mrs A Rod is smoking something sweet along the Seine with Lenny Kravitz.

She's said she's just checking out his Chateau.

All's fair in love and war the poets say.. But using Madonna is against United Nations Protocols. Just like poison gas. Just like Dum Dum bullets.

But the Kravitz counter attack was so purely vicious that old Hannibal himself, the Carthagian not the cannibal, would have grinned.

The cannibal Hannibal would have grinned too. Tis a tasty tale, after all.

Its that hard Holyfield left hook to burly Buster Douglass exposed chin.

Pay back is a snarling she dog especially in the big leagues.

Will the thoughts of Mrs A Rod banging along the Bastille, basking in the soft light of a quiet cafe listening to Lenny laugh about lighting up in the Louvre, effect A Rod's ability to hit a curve?

Team Unity?

Hal Steinbrenner's blood pressure?

Joe Giradi's job status?

Brian Cashman's cash flow?

Is Paris Burning up A Rod?

Has Kravitz KO'ed the Yankees?

Lenny has leveled Professional franchises before.

What's worse words can a besieged coach hear from his franchise player then

"Yo'Coach Mon I'm quitting, mon, smokin' the rope and touring the Caribbean  and Bahamas with Lenny Kravitz. Just hanging, out mon. No problems."

"And by the way coach mon good luck with the Patriots..."

Dour Dave Wannstedt downed his drink and knew he was doomed as soon as Ricky Williams sang those words into his phone.

His stomach hollow, destroyed Dave hoped it was a dreadlocked joke.

"No Coach Mon, No joke.." Sound of a deep inhalation over the phone then Ricky began to sing Bob Marley's Three Little Birds...

Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

That sweet smelling summer concert tour with Kravitz sank the sea mammals for the season.

Doomed Dave, sent into a Kravitz started death spiral, resigned after a 1-8 start.

Then hapless Wannie went to Pitt. Putting that pitiful program under his ill-starred sway.

As Pittsburgh Panther football fumbles and stumbles sadly along sad eyed Pitt fans can thank Kravitz whose friendship with Ricky delivered them Dave.

Lenny is a New Yorker but maybe a Met. Or maybe he knows not what he has unleashed.

The law of unintended consequences...or the Kravitz Effect.

Will Lenny lay low the Bronx Bombers as he did the Fish?

And in a round about way made Pitt pitiful?

A Rod atomizing on Page Six of the Post.

Steaming Steinbrenner slowly melting down.

The Yankess collapsing.

Lenny you Devil Ray, you...

Somewhere in La La Land Joe Torre is sipping a green tea, smiling softly, and singing Let Love Rule.
