Izzy To the tune of Dizzy, by Tommy Roe Player - Jason Isringhausen Izzy I'm called Izzy, my fastball’s spinnin' And my curveball, it always bends And it's you, Rick, makin' it spin You're cheerin’ for Izzy First time that I got called up, I knew that I just had to throw so fine But it was hard to pitch the ball with Dallas hangin' round me all the time All I wanted was to play As part of Generation K Pitchin’ too many innings all the time Izzy I'm called Izzy, my fastball’s spinnin' And my curveball, it always bends And it's you, Rick, makin' it spin You're cheerin’ for Izzy I finally got traded to Oak-land I was not sure exactly how I felt Then I was still starting the games, strugglin’, and my arm began to melt The pitching coach did propose, “’Cause you’re called Izzy, you can close!” I needed Peterson for some help Izzy I'm called Izzy, my fastball’s spinnin' And my curveball, it always bends And it's you, Rick, makin' it spin You're cheerin’ for Izzy My fastball’s spinnin' And my curveball, it always bends And it's you, Rick, makin' it spin You're cheering for Izzy Oh, I'm called Izzy You're cheerin’ for Izzy Yeah, I'm just Izzy

Rey Ordonez was a great fielder. But after some comments he made about Mets fans, he was an OutKAST. [Rap] Ready for grounders, nipped hits in the bud Rey was never relaxin’, gave web gems everlastin’ but bashin’? Not at all. And Ordonez would to do his actin’ And takin’ a freakin' walk was all we was askin’, no one could pass 'im Pop ups didn’t drop, cheers came like an orgasm All the time with a grin on his face Fieldin’ highlights still in our memory banks - thanks! So you paid for your ticket, and got memories everlastin’ His throws from the hole were like bullets passin’ And the first baseman puttin’ on the tag Or takin’ the throw and touchin’ the bag But I know y'all wanted Rey to hit And at the end of the season his OBP stats were shit But I know y'all wanted Rey to hit And at the end of the season his OBP stats were shit [Chorus:] I liked the way Rey moved.. His fielding was so smooth.. Whoo! I loved the way Rey moved.. I loved the way he made every play I loved the way Rey moved.. His throws were all in the groove.. Whoo! I loved the way he made every play.. I loved the way, I loved the way [Rap] The ball park fell silent, the fans all cheered with glee Divin’ left, slidin’ right, from his knees another bb Well I was lookin’ at him, he’d be like a man on a dance floor He was out there stylin’ like a film-whore .. 'specially for ESPN But he needed love too, no no argument here, but the fans said his hitting reeked He couldn’t handle the heat, acted like a big freak Insulted the very fans who fed him He tried to insult them, stiff them, ignore them, instead of giving them something to remember. He yelled out timber when roster time reached the chop shop Shoulda’ took a breath and exhaled He became an ex-Met going into release hell But y’all listen to the story I’m tellin' you For that great fieldin’ infield, Rey was the glue [Chorus] I liked the way Rey moved.. His fielding was so smooth. Whoo! I loved the way Rey moved.. I loved the way he made every play I loved the way Rey moved.. His throws were all in the groove.. Whoo! I loved the way he made every play.. I loved the way, I loved the way [Rap] Rey baby, show us how you short hop it Come on baby, looks like a dance to me You looked so fine (looked so fine) looked so fine Kept drivin’ me out my mind (out of my mind) Out my mind, Rey baby And I still remember you baaa-by Oooh you’d highlight me, and excite me And you know, you had me, baby, Whoo! [Chorus] w/ ad-libs - repeat to fade I liked the way Rey moved.. Ordonez was so smooth.. Whoo! I loved the way Rey moved.. I ‘d go out to Shea for his spectacular play I loved the way Rey moved.. His throws were all in the groove.. Whoo! I loved the way he made every play.. I loved the way, I loved the way

Nice job 62. Bubblegum Pop vs. Hip Hop here.

MFS62 Nov 03 2005 06:04 PM

Back atcha', Scarlet. Good job. Later

Willets Point Nov 03 2005 10:20 PM

I don't know either of these songs.

metirish Nov 03 2005 10:23 PM

I don't either, and me thinking I was a music guru.....and links to the originals?

ScarletKnight41 Nov 03 2005 10:24 PM

If you scroll down on [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000002OPG/102-6050054-9572945?v=glance]this page[/url] you'll get a link to a snippet of Dizzy.

MFS62 Nov 04 2005 07:20 AM

You can download a sample of "I like The Way You Move" here: http://music.yahoo.com/ar-260306-downloads--Outkast If anyone can provide a link to the entire song, I'd appreciate it. Later

Elster88 Nov 04 2005 08:39 AM

Very nice. Nice contrast of song style.

Yancy Street Gang Nov 04 2005 09:29 AM

Tied at 7 with 8½ hours remaining.

Edgy DC Nov 04 2005 09:54 AM

8-7 now.

ScarletKnight41 Nov 04 2005 10:06 AM

I have a song idea for Eric Hillman in mind in the event of a tie. (I know, I know - we'd get a different player in that case)

Edgy DC Nov 04 2005 10:28 AM

So do I, interestingly enough.

Willets Point Nov 04 2005 10:43 AM

SK's link caused my computer to crash last night, so I'm voting for MFS62 just because of that. Just kidding. I''ve got to wonder if Tommy Roe was ever in a court case where he needed to maintain anononimity.

Yancy Street Gang Nov 04 2005 10:49 AM

Back to a tie: 9-9.

Centerfield Nov 04 2005 11:39 AM

I'm afraid I don't know 62's song. I'll have to listen to it later today before I vote. Know it or not, I did really like this line: Well I was lookin’ at him, he’d be like a man on a dance floor He was out there stylin’ like a film-whore SK, excellent job. I had completely forgotten it was Peterson who was Izzy's coach in Oakland. Some bad memories in there, but a good song. I feel a little better about bowing out to Yancy now that I know I don't have to face either of you guys in the next round.

Yancy Street Gang Nov 04 2005 11:40 AM

And I'm glad we didn't have to do a tie-breaker. It can be hard enough to find inspiration when you have a half dozen guys to chose from.

MFS62 Nov 04 2005 03:19 PM

Bump Voting closes at 6 PM today. Later

Yancy Street Gang Nov 04 2005 03:50 PM

With two hours and ten minutes remaining, Scarlet leads 11-10. Lots of close matches this round. I edged CF by the same score yesterday.

Edgy DC Nov 04 2005 03:56 PM

Centerfield, better start listening.

Yancy Street Gang Nov 04 2005 04:02 PM

Tie score, 11-11, with two hours remaining.

KC Nov 04 2005 04:49 PM

The suspense is killing me. I hope it lasts.

Yancy Street Gang Nov 04 2005 05:14 PM

Scarlet pulls ahead 13-12 with about 45 minutes remaining.

ScarletKnight41 Nov 04 2005 05:14 PM

FYI, I need to go out in a little while, so it'll be a few hours before I know whether I'm celebrating, drowning my sorrows in the Loser's Lounge, or preparing for a sudden death parody-off.

Yancy Street Gang Nov 04 2005 05:21 PM

Whoever wins is my next opponent, so I have my scouts (and Jon Heyman's) watching this battle closely.

Yancy Street Gang Nov 04 2005 06:01 PM

Scarlet wins 13-12.

KC Nov 04 2005 06:03 PM

Three admins logged on to see the outcome ... this is a tight ship lololol

Edgy DC Nov 04 2005 06:10 PM

Yup. Scarlet is lined up to be the next victim of the Yancy juggernaut.

Yancy Street Gang Nov 04 2005 06:38 PM

I'll meet you on the playground next week, Scarlett.

MFS62 Nov 04 2005 06:51 PM

Congrats, Scarlet. Hey, I just found out that Capt. Morgan's and Diet Coke has no carbs, so I can drown my sorrows guilt free. I'll use it to wash down the kashe varnishkes I've ordered in to the Loser's Lounge. To quote our idol, Al Yankovic, I "dared to be stupid". I proved for the second straight year that I can't write hip hop. As we used to say in Brooklyn, 'Wait 'till next year". For all you folks who voted for me, thanks. Later

Willets Point Nov 04 2005 06:59 PM

I voted for you before I voted against you.

MFS62 Nov 04 2005 07:05 PM

Valadius Nov 04 2005 07:07 PM

He was making fun of something John Kerry said.

MFS62 Nov 04 2005 07:13 PM

Oh, thanks. Later

Diamond Dad Nov 04 2005 07:17 PM WOW

Wonder who that last tie-breaking vote was?? I'll break the news to Scarlet when she gets back -- unless she's logging in from dinner, which is always possible. Now I have to win just to keep up!!

Edgy DC Nov 04 2005 08:23 PM

Anybody want to cop to that last vote, or was it just DD being coy?

ScarletKnight41 Nov 04 2005 09:14 PM

I've received e-mails from several people who claimed to have put me over the top. No, I did not check my e-mail from dinner. 62 - great job. Outkast beat you last year, and I was impressed that you went with them this year. Yancy - I'll meet you on the playground in a couple of days. Not that I'm looking forward to it - you've been scary in your first two matches!
