Good God no! Was our adolescent dream Schoolboy stuff, a sticky sweet bro-mance He’d make us cheer and scream We knew he'd take advantage of the chance So we fantasized away And we’d be watching him, Thinking of Seaver saying… Good God yes! Good God yes! It's about goddamn time! Good God yes, don't hurt him. And his arm was strong as stone The team was so bad, they couldn't stand to wait Sent him out there all alone Joe and Gorman had no problem tempting fate. Watching close on channel 9 And you could've sworn, you saw him grab his elbow Good God no! Good God no! Too cold in Chi-ca-go! Good God no, you hurt him! And it's a fanboy sadness Each Met fan is gonna taste An all-consuming madness That we know we can't erase Cause they‘ll finish in last place We had our phenom at last They promised us that this guy would be right Our empty talent pool was vast We were certain that this dude would end the blight But then he walked Ken Reitz And you could’ve sworn, you saw him grab him elbow Good God no! Good God no! I hate your guts Torre! Good God no, you broke him. Joe Torre says ‘don’t wor-ry’ We’ve got Swan to take his spot Although his fu-ture’s blurry His career is far from shot Maybe we can get Jim Kaat Good God no! Good God no! We should’ve known better! Good God no , he’s broken... Good God no! Good God no! Gooden’s 3 years away, Good God no, that’s too long… That’s too long… That’s too long… That’s too long… Lyrics here.

"Carry on, Craig Anderson" Carry on, Craig Anderson! ERA says, "You are done." Lay your weary arm to rest, Don't you try no more. For the Cards, it was rare when I was outdone. I was picked by the Mets after expansion. Who'd ever think I'd be retired? By nineteen sixty-five?? Though my eyes saw my career was in the can. Though my brain said I'd be pitching in Japan. I hear the voices at Shea screaming, To this very day! Carry on, Craig Anderson! Casey said that you are done. Lay your weary arm to rest, Don't you fire no more. Then it happened seemingly without a reason. My defeats would pile up the whole season. Pat on the butt from Choo-Choo Coleman, well, Nothing helps me no more! Rifle on my arm felt more like an air gun. Sixteen in a row! Thank God for Anthony Young! All season long it was my June swoon. Oh, man, I stunk it up at Shea! Carry on, Craig Anderson! ERA says, "You are done." Lay your weary arm to rest. Don't you fire no more. No! Anderson! A name you won't remember! Anderson! Maybe best as a non-tender! The fans would cry, "Oh, the humanity!" But I knew not what the hell to do! Carry on, Craig Anderson! Casey says that you are done. Lay your weary arm to rest Don't you try no more (don't you try no more!)

Dumb question: soupcan's is about... Zachry?

DocTee Mar 05 2009 07:56 PM

Tim Leary.

I bought the Soup. Coulda gone either way.

Uncle! Congrats to Seo, the championship match is now set, may the best parodiest (parodier?) win.

G-Fafif Mar 09 2009 09:28 AM

Soup: Championship-level play with Tim Leary. Gave me the same chills I had living through the misery of 1981. Seo: You made Craig Anderson's career come alive. Congrats and I look forward to seeing you soon. Off to train for the title match...

Injuries, Seaver/Torre references-- went with the injury-prone guy I actually knew from that era. The Leary hype was a touch before my time (which began the year of the Keith trade), and a little under my retrospective radar.

Wow! Outstanding frm both parties. I went with Soup because Leary is just so painful.
