Ticky-Tack

 


To the tune of "Little Boxes"—with apologies to Malvina Reynolds and Pete Seeger.


Was a pitcher

A great pitcher

And he always pitched with ticky-tack

And he never lost the game.


Up in Pittsburgh

Down in Houston

He always pitched with ticky-tack

And he never lost the game.





Now this pitcher

Is our pitcher

'Cause he always pitched with ticky-tack

And he never lost a game.



But this pitcher

Our ace pitcher

They took away his ticky-tack

And it's driven him insane.


He lets up walks

He gives up hits

'Cause they took away his ticky-tack

And he's never been the same.

  1. Cole and Judge should've been traded after last season. Should've got some high level prospects for both. Gallo should've been released.

    Florial should've been up here two years ago. What are they waiting for? And if he hits .120 with 500 strikeouts? Well, then we should trade or release him too. But he does the Yankees no good playing in the minors. We still have no idea whether he's a major league player or not. So they'll probably bring him up when he's 28 or 29. He'll play in a few games and then they'll release him. Gallo is well on his way to hitting .025 with 500 strikeouts. Gallo's humor.

  2. Hoss,

    Good parody. Very enjoyable.

    Don't know if you ever watched Weeds but they used to start the show with different covers of that tune.
