Game Forty-One - Bleeding Runs
May 15, 2008 by Jerkwheat
Six games out of first
I didn’t need the pain
One or two was enough
Where is the D-Train?
The hits pile right up
Before you know it you’re losing
Then something happens
Everytime Kenny pitches to you
The ball hits the ground
Because the gloves aren’t true
I stand here on the mound
Driving all the fans crazy
But I don’t care what they say
Rapada’s beard makes him look like a douche
And if you hit to left
Sheff’s throwing arm can’t move
My team’s crippled by the fact
That Todd Jones is still closing
You call the bullpen and we
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding runs
Keep bleeding
We keep, keep bleeding runs
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You call the bullpen…
Trying hard not to hear
But the boos are so loud
And bringing in Aquilino
Will not settle the crowd
Yet I know that they are all
Glad it’s no longer Grilli
But nothing’s worse
Than the fact that our pitches don’t break
And everytime we take the mound
The other team keeps hitting everything
And everyone around me
Knows that we’ll keep on losing…
But I don’t care what they say
Freddy Dolsi gives me the blues
And if you hit it to left
Sheff’s arm throwing arm can’t move
Our team’s crippled by the fact
That Todd Jones keeps on closing
You call the bullpen and we…
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding runs
We keep bleeding
We keep, keep bleeding runs
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding runs
You cut me open
Zach Miner is no relief
Of Joel Zumaya we will not speak
And I’m doubting that fact
That we’ll ever see Rodney…
I don’t care what they say
Bobby Seay is of no use
And if we have a late lead
Well we all know the truth
Our team’s crippled by the fact
That Todd Jones keeps on closing
You call the bullpen and we…
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding runs
We keep bleeding
We keep, keep bleeding runs
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding runs
You call the bullpen
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding runs
We keep bleeding
We keep, keep bleeding runs
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding runs
You call the bullpen and we…
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding runs
By this weekend, I’ll just be posting Smiths videos intercut with Verlander turning his head to watch home runs disappear.
I will be singing this at the top of my lungs all weekend. Thanks Jerkwheat, you managed to make a miserable me a little less miserable.
may I mention? THE HIGH SOCK REVOLUTION? Is there a stat we can look up? When the team simultaneously wears high socks and gets timely hitting? I’m sure that’s a stat somewhere.
But seriously, that was the first sign of team camaraderie I’ve seen all season. And I’m on a baseball leave of absence.
