I'll wait until chick is online and then I'll post mine. We can do it after the weekend if folks think I'm starting too late.

MFS62 Nov 04 2005 12:36 PM

today's ok. Later

Johnny Dickshot Nov 04 2005 12:37 PM

Just xtend voting till this time Monday.

Yancy Street Gang Nov 04 2005 12:37 PM

You'll probably get more votes if you wait until Monday. I'd guess that it's best to start these on Monday through Thursday.

Monday it is. Fire away, chickie.

Centerfield Nov 04 2005 01:24 PM

Monday Deadline? Or Monday Start Time?

Edgy DC Nov 04 2005 01:26 PM

I thought voting would end on Monday after posting now, but holychicken just logged on and logged off without posting.

holychicken Nov 04 2005 01:39 PM

Sorry, I didn' t log out, I just got a phone call. Well, here goes Player: Tug Mcgraw Song: Fire and Screws (to the tune of Fire and Rain [url]http://www.mp3shits.com/download_mp3/James_Taylor_Fire_And_Rain_mp3/764699/[/url]) I have no idea why it is called "mp3shits" by the way. A December morning they let me know you were gone That heartless trade they made made us dead to you. I wrote down this song, but I still feel withdrawn For another player like you we are overdue You threw fire and you threw screws You threw in day games that I knew you'd quickly end You threw better than that Armondo Benitez But ya gotta help me to believe again. Won't you look down upon Loop, McGraw Ya gotta help him gain command Ya just gotta give him personality. His body's aching and his option's at hand He'll end up a setup man any other way. Oh, you threw fire and you threw screws You threw in day games that I knew you'd quickly end You threw better than that Armondo Benitez But ya gotta help me to believe again. Been smokin my mind to an easy time with grass not AstroTurf. Lord knows when the pennat race rolls you will slap your glove around. Well, I wish for time and a much better ryhme to wish you a proper goodbye Good times and Irish whiskeys imbibed by the pound Oh, you threw fire and you threw screws You threw in day games that I knew you'd quickly end You threw better than that Armondo Benitez But ya gotta help me to believe, Mcgraw, one more time again, now. Help me believe one more time again There's just few good things coming my way this time around, now Thought I'd see you, thought you'd throw fire and screws, now

Hurt and Likely Bruised In New York City, I’m a rookie on fire It’s ‘sixty-three and I’m in All-Star attire Doo doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo Met fans, they want me; they tell me with signs Get hit by fastballs and then trot down the line Doo doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo In touch with the ground! I am Ron Hunt; it’s nothing new Scent and a sound! I'm hit and I’m down! And I’m HURT AND LIKELY BRUISED! Strut down the line! Act like I’m fine! I’d howl and I’d whine, but that won’t do The inning’s alive! I’m aching inside! And I’m HURT AND LIKELY BRUISED! I lost my bat speed at just twenty-five Next year my range went; I had to survive Doo doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo I started leaning into pitches inside I learned to live with all the marks on my hide Doo doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo, doo doo I have the knack! I am Ron Hunt; it’s nothing new Drilled in the back! My spine’s out of whack! And I’m HURT AND LIKELY BRUISED! Watch out for the head! I’m crippled, half dead! I’d howl and I’d whine, but that won’t do It beats riding pine! The record is mine! Though I’m HURT AND LIKELY BRUISED! [Instrumental sequence] (Hurt and likely bruised Hurt and likely bruised Hurt and likely bruised Huh-huh-huh! Hurt and likely bruised Hurt and likely bruised Hurt and likely bruised) [Furious Drum Fill!!] Juan Marichal! He puts me through Hell! I try not to stain my pants with poo Drysdale as well! He just rung my bell! And I’m HURT AND LIKELY BRUISED! Koufax hurts too (Ow!) A hard-throwing Jew (Ow!) I am Ron Hunt it’s nothing new Take Gibson’s pitch! He calls me his bitch! And I’m HURT AND LIKELY BRUISED! The record is mine…! (Ow!) (fade)

Yancy Street Gang Nov 04 2005 01:51 PM

I like Edgy's lyrics, but I have no idea what song that is. Nice job too, by the chicken.

HahnSolo Nov 04 2005 01:56 PM

Not a big Duran Duran fan, Yancy?

Yancy Street Gang Nov 04 2005 01:59 PM

I guess not. As I've said, I'm not a big music guy.

Edgy DC Nov 04 2005 02:02 PM

He's playing rope-a-dope again.

holychicken Nov 04 2005 02:04 PM

Rope-a-dope? And for the record, I was NOT Armondo bashing, despite the fact that I spelled his name wrong.

Edgy DC Nov 04 2005 02:08 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Nov 04 2005 02:09 PM

Rope-a-dope. Yancy pretends he's a pop music illiterate, as he storms to the finals and pockets all of our betting money. Good job, may the best guy win.

Yancy Street Gang Nov 04 2005 02:09 PM

So what's the song? I'd like to listen to it before I vote.

Diamond Dad Nov 04 2005 02:14 PM need a clue

I agree -- don't recognize the song, although I love the Ron Hunt references.

Edgy DC Nov 04 2005 02:19 PM

Well, I've opted to look for it.

metirish Nov 04 2005 02:24 PM

It's "Hungry Like The Wolf" right?, great job on both ,my vote is cast.

Edgy DC Nov 04 2005 02:28 PM

Of course. You can get the refrain here. If anybody who can dig up a more complete audio file, I'd be thankful.

Johnny Dickshot Nov 04 2005 02:33 PM

I didn't catch it till the "howl & wine" part. Nice job, both!

Yancy Street Gang Nov 04 2005 02:34 PM

Okay, I do know that song. I've now voted, but I won't say for whom. As usual, not an easy choice.

metirish Nov 04 2005 02:44 PM

I found a pretty bad cover version of the song.. scroll down http://www.seven7.us/lyrics/hungrylikethewolfduran.html

Edgy DC Nov 04 2005 02:45 PM

Here's the opening stanza: http://music.allofmp3.com/r2/Duran_Duran/Hungry_Like_The_Wolf/group_85/album_2/albref_7/mcatalog.shtml

ScarletKnight41 Nov 04 2005 02:46 PM

Another great round!

Elster88 Nov 04 2005 02:54 PM

And another tie.

KC Nov 04 2005 03:12 PM

I second the idea to extend voting until same time Monday, if it hasn't already been decided. This place gets dead quick on Friday afternoons sometimes if nothing metsnewsworthy isn't going down.

holychicken Nov 04 2005 03:27 PM

Edgy, if I could post my 45 of your song, I would. . . but alas, the internet has been slackin and cannot yet take LPs as feed yet. How lame. Good job. Again, may the best chicken win, which gives me an edge. MUAHAHAHHHA

Willets Point Nov 07 2005 09:51 AM

This poll is still active folks. Vote early and vote often. Closes at 1:46 this afternoon.

TheOldMole Nov 07 2005 10:04 AM

I've voted. As usual, I prefer to keep my choice private, but it was an agonizing one. Two great parodies.

Centerfield Nov 07 2005 11:11 AM

Fantastic!

Valadius Nov 07 2005 11:45 AM

I forget who I voted for... oh well, great job by both.

Yancy Street Gang Nov 07 2005 01:59 PM

Final score is 14-9, as of 1:59 p.m.

Edgy DC Nov 07 2005 02:01 PM

Thanks for the game, chicken. And thanks for Amos Otis.

Yancy Street Gang Nov 07 2005 02:02 PM

Oooh... Are you tipping your hand?

Edgy DC Nov 07 2005 02:08 PM

Mebbe. It's not the cards in your hand, but how you play 'em.

holychicken Nov 07 2005 02:32 PM

Yes, good game. I enjoyed this very much. However, now that I got my rookie season under my belt, I am coming back next year with extra power and speed. My parodies will be unstoppable! And enjoy, Amos I will be rooting for you the rest of the way (don't think this means I am going to give you my vote every round) so I can say "well, at least I lost to the champ."
