Also, did you realize that tomorrow is Mickmas, the birth of Mickey Mantle, and hence a sacred day on the Yankees calendar? What a cosmic convergence it would be to win it on such a day!
How about this one, with apologies to Little Feat, and the amazing cover Linda Ronstadt did of it:
Willin'
We been warped by the rain Driven by the snow We're drunk and dirty Don't ya know But we're still Willin' Out on the road Late last night We saw that damned Keuchel in every headlight Keuchel Dallas Keuchel
And we've been through him and Erwin Sanatana McCullers and Kluber twice Beaten every kind of pitcher that's ever been made Beaten their bullpens, we just wouldn't fade And if you give us Judge, Gary, and Didi And you show us a sign We'll be willin' To be movin'
And we've been kicked by the wind Robbed by the sleet Had our heads stove in But we're still on our feet And we're willin' Oh, we're willin'
And we've beaten Peacock and Carson McCullers Beat that Bauer jerk with his long toss Beaten teams that won a hundred games down Would've beaten the Red Sox if they'd stuck around And if you give us Sevvy, Chappy, and Hiro And you show us a sign We'll be willin' To be movin' On to LA..."

ReplyDeleteI think we need a new song, too.

We been warped by the rain
Driven by the snow
We're drunk and dirty
Don't ya know
But we're still
Willin'
Out on the road
Late last night
We saw that damned Keuchel in every headlight
Keuchel
Dallas Keuchel
And we've been through him and Erwin Sanatana
McCullers and Kluber twice
Beaten every kind of pitcher that's ever been made
Beaten their bullpens, we just wouldn't fade
And if you give us

Beat that Bauer jerk with his long toss

I just want to say that, and also ask:
ReplyDeleteWhat do we think the IBS Lady is thinking just now? Is she proud?
With all humility, who or what is the IBS Lady?
