The Chicago Seven...continues.

 


So Cashman's left us bound and gagged

And he's chained us to a chair

Won't you please turn off Chicago

So I can save my mind?

For a team that's known for winning

How can such a thing be fair?

Won't you please turn off Chicago

Before it leaves us blind?


We can change this team

Rearrange this team

It's dying

To get better

(Can't get any worse...)


Aaron Boone sit yourself down

There's nothing for you here

Won't you please just leave Chicago?

No, we're not being snide

Don't ask Hal to help us

Cause he'll turn the other ear

Won't you please just leave Chicago or join the other side?


(We can change)

Yes, we can change the game

(Or at least the channel)

Rearrange the game

(It's dying)

And if you believe in baseball

(It's dying)

Play the game like you've got half a brain

(It's dying)

Analytics who needs them?

Throw 'em out the door!


Somehow the Yankees must be freed

I hope the day comes soon

Won't you please turn off Chicago?

I can't find the channel anyway

From the back of the bullpen

To the lumps sitting on the bench

Won't you please just leave Chicago?

And rejoin the human race.


We can't find the game

(Believe me, you don't want to)

We can't stand the game

(When we do find it)

If you believe in greatness

(It's dying)

If you believe in more than money

(Not Hal or Pal)

Analytics, who needs 'em?

Throw 'em out the door.


With apologies to Graham Nash.

I love our occasional post game thread dances, Hoss :)

Great post too - I danced with my animals as I sang it out loud not to the open window in my office.

Glad JM will be Joining us today.

Haven't seen KEVIN for a while.

And for safety sake, would someone please turn Dookay over and wipe the, uh, the uhm, like you know...white'ish dribble-like substance off of his mouth please.

Thanks
