Do they know their pitching coach at all?

He travels ‘round
Just like Santa with no sleigh
Pitching prospect development he coordinates
To Roberto Clemente he surrendered a milestone
The next year he tossed a gem in Cinc’natti

But they don’t care

They must be pretty dumb
Oh, pitching sure is hard, but when their throwing’s done
They could log on to their PCs
And look up baseball reference
Instead of probably ogling coeds pictured with no pants
Or they might be watching videos of Rick Astley on YouTube
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

All the Met fans knew his locker’s ‘tween Koos and Seav’
The great left hander from the seventies
(Oooh) shea stadium where he threw
No baby tigers knew
Do they know their pitching coach at all?

(here’s to you) Jon Matlack, I’ve parodied
(here’s to them) toiling in the minor leagues
Do they know their pitching coach at all?

Let them know their pitching coach again

(I Can't Get No) Grip on my Bat

I can’t get no grip on my bat
I can’t get no grip on my bat
I grip hard and harder and harder and harder
I can’t get no, I can’t get no

When I’m standing in the box
And that ball floats down the middle
It’s begging me more and more
To swing for the outfield fences
Supposed to clear off all the bases
But I can't get no, oh no no no
hey hey hey, watch out that way.

I can’t get no grip on my bat
I can’t get no grip on my bat
I grip hard and harder and harder and harder
I can’t get no, I can’t get no

When i'm takin' my BP
And Wilpon comes in to tell me
How whupped my ass will be
If I hit somebody and the Mets get sued
But I just can't guarantee
Cause I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, watch out that way.

I can’t get no grip on my bat
What's this pine tar? Ain't heard of that?
I grip hard and harder and harder and harder
I can’t get no, I can’t get no

That bat's flyin' out my hands
And it's hittin' her, bouncin' off of that
And im trying to make amends
And i'm told, baby better bring her memorbilia
'cause I'm on a bat losing streak.
I can't get no, oh no no.
Hey hey hey, watch out that way

I can’t get no grip on my bat
I can’t get no grip on my bat
I grip hard and harder and harder and harder
I can’t get no, I can’t get no



And it's Jeromy Burnitz.

Thinking about Jeromy and his flying bat still makes me laugh

I just accidentally voted for holychicken (sorry charl, er, I mean chicken) but
meant to vote for 'thon.

Judges take note that the score is off if this ends in a tie.

Both excellent as usual.

Love the angle of the Xmas spoof.
The Stones one hit the funny bone more.
