Subject: El Duque Old man, this is my life Mets don't get much older old man, this is my life Mets don't get much older Old man, this is my life Age fifty three or even four In '08 I said just wait you'll wait forevermore Maybe old but still full of life Got more bounce than Jose Lima's wife Stupid calf barked in L.A. What are you gonna do? Old man I been aging for years like a big ol' fir So old Julio Franco once called me sir So old I was born during the years of Eisenhow-ur In '06, such a loss Tore my calf playing long toss Should've stayed on the bench and ate a bowl of prunes Don't think of my Yankee days I can't remember that anyways Instead picture me stealing bases at Shea The way I used to do Old man I been aging for years like a big ol' fir So old Julio Franco once called me sir So old I was born during the years of Eisenhow-ur Old man, this is my life Mets don't get much older old man, this is my life Mets don't get much older

Big Ol’ John Christensen Lyrics & actual song here Steppin’ in, facing a guy Wears a hi-king boot Was asked to pretend that this was real That he can’t even see the ba-a-all But he does not want to look too bad Yes, even if it’s all in fun Somebody’s trying to make him say This was not made up by George Plimpton. Oh, Oh big ol' John Christensen In baseball lore you faced Sidd Finch Oh, Oh big ol' John Christensen And you were teammates with Ed Lynch Goodbye to John’s chosen number Goodbye to number thirty five Sambito came and they gave it to him John was not glad, how could he now survive? But number seven was not bad And in New York it was even cool. ‘85, he had stars in his eyes You know it’s a pretty big deal To be compared to Kranepool Big ol' John Christensen Yeah, they took your number away Oh, Oh big ol' John Christensen Your future would not include Shea Traded to some New England town A great deal for the Mets John and Calvin for Bobby O You know the..Red Sox just gave us the trophy And he later thought it a blessing He saw that Calvin Schiral-di Pitched in Game 6 and got caught up in all of that Funky shit that went down in the City Big ol' John Christensen Career was not much to speak of Oh, Oh big ol' John Christensen Bat was not as good as your glove Oh, Oh big ol' John Christensen Not much stuff on you to riff on Oh, Oh big ol' John Christensen In fact your career was one big yawn Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah Big ol' John Christensen I bet once he had a blister Oh, Oh big ol' John Christensen The same birthday as my sister Oh, Oh big ol' John Christensen You had a cup of joe in the Show Oh, Oh big ol' John Christensen That’s pretty much all we know.

That's some funky shit goin down right there.

I'm holding my vote for a bit. "Big Ol' John" actually improves as it goes forward. I like "‘85, he had stars in his eyes." I also like the Eisenhow-ur reference. Big ol John vs. Big ol' fir.

Wow! Great stuff.

Took me a coupla reads to realize who Fman was talking about. I guessed the subject was Alou at first, then Rickey. It was painfully obviuous once I remebered but if I were writing I mighta thrown his name in there, even in the song title, just to help the dummies out there.

I agree with bucket , I find if I have to think too hard about who the song might be about or what the song is I vote for the other guy, having said that I know what Fman's song was and thought it was great, as was the soups.

I lost. I rushed through this the other night... just too much going on this month. I felt better about my Roberto Petagine entry that didn't get a proper face-off in the play-in round. Off to the loser's lounge to join SJR for some of those shrimp cocktails.

I think you are conceding way too early. We usually get 30+ votes on these things and as of this writing only 15 people have voted and we are only seperated by 7 votes. Don't these go 48 hrs?

Fman99 Dec 16 2008 01:18 PM

Yep. I seemed to have picked up a few more votes since I did that. Sorry for the premature, uh, declaration. I should think more about baseball...

While both of these parodies are excellent, I can't say I've seen a cuter avatar photo of late than Fman's.

soupcan Dec 16 2008 02:23 PM

Agreed - she is a doll.

Nice job, both of you. Don't you just want to pinch those cheeks?

Looks kinda Rumanian to me.
