Sa-decki

Sa-decki is his name
Throwing baseballs was his game
Sa-decki
Sa-decki
Sadecki is his name
In the Polish Hall of Fame
Sa-decki

Sa-decki

Drafted by Saint Loo
Teenager showed no fear
Won as much he lost
Got team 'rookie of the year'
Looked like a good career
Even won twenty, Sa-decki
But nineteen sixty-four
Turned to nineteen sixty-five
That meant six and fifteen baby
No baby, no
It looks like San Francisco for Ray Sadecki

Sad-ecki what a pity
How soon they forgot
You beat the Yankees, Ray
And you started their long rot
Sa-decki you were pretty
But they didn't care
Its guys like Sa-decki
Oh what you do 'decki, Sa-decki
You'd come through Sa-decki

Sa-decki

Frisco days were okay but now
Its on to the Big Shea
The Mets used you and how
Against the Oakland A's
You got the Game four save
fell just short, Sa-decki
After one more year they didn't want your great lefthand
You were sent far down south
You took it like a man
Oh, please baby, please
Come back and plug the dam, 'decki

Sad-ecki what what a pity
There are none like you
You start and you relieve
It’s a special thing you do
Sa-decki you're so pretty
Any type of jam
It's guys like you, 'decki
Oh, what you do, 'decki, Sa-decki
It’s a lost art 'decki

Sa-decki was the man
When the team was in a jam
Sa-decki, Sa-decki
Sa-decki'd start or not
He'd come in, in a big spot
Sa-decki, Sa-decki
Sa-decki did it all
Was a master with the ball
Sa-decki, Sa-decki
Sa-decki is his name
And from the Giants he came, Sa-decki

Sadecki what a pity
Were so versa-tile
Traded for the Baby Bull
That had to have made you smile
Sa-decki was so happy
Shipped him out of town
Should have kept you 'decki
Oh what you do, 'decki, Sa-decki
They needed you 'decki

Sa-decki what a pity
Met fans understand
You took them by the heart
When you threw with your left hand
Sa-decki you were gritty
Met fans understand
A guy like Sa-decki
Knew what to do 'decki, Sa-decki
You sure came through 'decki

Sa-decki what a pity
Had to let you go
Fans wanted you to stay
M. Donald Grant said no
Sa-decki you were groovy
In seventy-four
Why did you go 'decki
When you left 'decki, it was gory
All we got was Joe Torre…

I came up back with the eighties Phillies
I had no lacking of the offensive skillies
But I was a second-rate second-base-man!
To tell the truth, I was a Demolition Man!

By eighty-nine they thought they’d try me in center
Speedy yes, but still a dubious defender
Time to come up with a whole new plan
Must find a buyer for the Demolition Man!

I'm a walking nightmare, make a stadium a tomb
I could kill a fuckin’ franchise when I walk into the room
Name's Juan Samuel, I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster, I'm a Demolition Man!
(Demolition! Demolition!)
(Demolition! Demolition!)


Wilson and Dykstra were platoon-plan bashin’
The Phillies GM, he called Frank Cashen
You’ve got to question his attention span
Frank made a deal for the Demolition Man!

Cause I got a crazy legacy of a very special kind
With Baerga and with Alomar, conflate us in your mind
Name's Juan Samuel, I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster, I'm a Demolition Man!
(Demolition! Demolition!)
(Demolition! Demolition!)


Met historians say the magic died then
Dykstra went and every nine-year-old cried then
Ask any casual eighties Mets fan
Ask about Samuel, they’ll cry out “Demolition Man!”

‘Cause I drive GMs to drink when their teams run up big debts
Sent the Dodgers to the shrink when I was finished with the Mets
Name's Juan Samuel, I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster, I'm a Demolition Man!
(Demolition! Demolition!)
(Demolition! Demolition!)

Down 2-0. Pain.

Not a good time for me to submit myself when I'm being a pain in the ass in another thread.

Anyone refusing to vote for your parody because of your arguments in the Hall of Fame thread, rather than the merits of your parody, should be immediately beheaded.

Then burned.

No wait, burned, then beheaded.

Then perhaps this is a good time to pat Soupy on the butt.

Tough decision--each is an excellent entry.

Not so tough, it seems, for the electorate.

I can see where a verbatim chorus serves the theme best but I'm not sure it's a winning strategy. The rhyme of Phillies and skillies though -- that was a good risk.

I think taking the actual title and sticking with it is a huge missed opportunity. I knew that, and yet, here I am, getting an old-school beatdown.

OE: I kept the whole tagline at the end of the refrain. When you do that, you suck.

Edgy MD

Not that I concede.

Edgy edges closer. Now 11-3
Looks like fewer than 50% of the usual precincts are reporting.

Went with the Soup. Brilliant stuff though.

These are both hilariously classic.

Consession.

Half-measure by me. I sucky suck.

Don't feel bad Edgy, "Barley" is one of my all time favorites.

Thanky, it's the only love song I know using the word "piebald."

Meanwhile, I think I'm closing the gap here.
