HoraceClarke66: “Heaney! Heaney! HEANEY!!!”

 From the desk of HoraceClarke66...

Attend the tale of Heaney, Clod!

Chorus: Attend the tale of Heaney, Sod!

 His pitches were slow and his pitches were odd!

Chorus:  His pitches looked like day-old scrod!

 Throw your pitches fat, Heaney,

See them rise into the sky!

Swiftly go the balls that you call major-league!

Up in the Bronx he took the mound,

Chorus:  Up in the Bronx, thanks to that clown!

 For a team of some renown.

Chorus:  We’d rather have him in Boston town!

 And there he gave up a homer an inning,

As bad at the end as he was beginning!

 Chorus:  Heaney sees signals that no one sees,

They hit his pitches as if off tees.

Heaney’s throwing October away,

Heaney’s worse with each passing day!

 No one can help,

Nothing can hide you!

Isn’t that Heaney

There beside you?

 Chorus:  HEANEY, HEANEY, HEANEY!

 

Attend the tale of Heaney, Clod!

He served a vengeful juju god!

His pitching is dragging us straight to hell,

But with our bullpen he might as well.

 Oh, Heaney!

The demon pitcher of

Cash-

Man!

 

With extreme apologies to Mr. Sondheim.

  5. Beware over-reliance on batting average, one of the most beloved stats on this blog:

  6. HC, that was very good, but I am holding out full praise til you take on the entire season and pattern it after" The Illiad."
    Love me some Homer.

  9. Thanks, Archie! This season does indeed already feel 10 years old. And I'm sure if this team built a Trojan horse Chapman or Britton would cough. (As opposed to cough it up!)

  12. Hoss,

    Sorry to be late to the party. I finally made it back home after 3 1/2 months on the road. I'm now ensconced in my favorite chair and have the time to properly appreciate this great piece of writing. Well done sir!

Is about 2 years and 6 months now I have been living with this virus and it has been a serious problem to me, I was so confused cause i have been taking several drugs to be cured but all of my effort was in vain,one morning i was browsing through the internet then i saw several testimonies about Dr. OGU curing people from Herpes virus and immediately i contacted Dr. on his email: drogugusolutionhome@gmail.com , i told him about my troubles and he told me that i must be cured, he gave me some instructions and which i rightly followed. so he prepared a herbal medicine and sent it to me via DHL which i used for 2 weeks and i was cured everything was like a dream to me and my Herpes virus was totally gone, dr .OGU , God bless you and give you more power and ability for more cures.i dont know if there is any one out there suffering for herpes virus or any of these diseases..DIABETIES, CANCER,GENITAL AND SIMPLEX HERPES,LOW SPERMS COUNT, SYPHILIS, HIV/AIDS, FIBRIOD, COPD, MENINGITIES,HEPATITIES B [HBV] DISEASES .etc why don't you contact dr.Ogu today and be free from your diseases because he is very good and honest Doctor. contact him via email; drogugusolutionhome@gmail.com or text/call: +1 (719) 629 0982
