Ready when you are Bart!

Willets Point Nov 07 2005 11:53 AM

You're killing me Bart. Imagine a child waking up on Christmas morning and being told his presents aren't here yet?

Yancy Street Gang Nov 07 2005 11:57 AM

Oh, just post your song and then push for a forfeit.

MFS62 Nov 07 2005 12:59 PM

The fans are starting to pound on the gates to get in. Call Secutiry. This could get ugly quickly. Who's doing the intro act? Later

Grover Nov 07 2005 01:01 PM

And the signature ABG delay kicks in. Grab a chair, folks.

]And the signature ABG delay kicks in. Grab a chair, folks. Who are you Grover, this is an alias for sure...do we have to go the 20 questions route?

Giant Squidlike Creature Nov 07 2005 01:15 PM

Squid doesn't like it when peeps try to out alternate handles. Of course, Squid can match IP addresses so Squid already knows. Hint: Grover and Biff Thunderpants are not the same person.

What's wrong with alternate handles, Squid?

Elster88 Nov 07 2005 02:07 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Nov 07 2005 02:49 PM

I'm sorry. Read the post wrong. You said "try to out" not "try out". And I meant to say Mr. Squid.

Willets Point Nov 07 2005 02:21 PM

I'm waiting until 4:30 and then I'm posting my song. Does anyone have ABG's email who can prod him in the meantime?

Ernie Nov 07 2005 02:48 PM

If ABG doesn't show up, I can take his place. Mike Piazza, You're the one You make game time lots of fun Mike Piazza I'm awfully fond of you.

metirish Nov 07 2005 02:51 PM

Dear Lord we're been taken over by the Muppets.

Valadius Nov 07 2005 04:02 PM

Where's Bert for good measure?

Bert... um... I don't know if we want Bert hanging around the pool.

Elster88 Nov 07 2005 04:19 PM

Yancy Street Gang Nov 07 2005 04:23 PM

Wow. At this point I still have no idea who I'm going to vote for.

Willets Point Nov 07 2005 04:42 PM

A Catcher Named Choo Choo Step aside partner, it's my day Bend an ear and listen to my version (Of a real honest, Metropolitan diversion) Pardon me Bub, I am the catcher named Choo Choo! (Yes, Yes) Bats .249!* Boy do I really shine (Can't explain to you Bub how I got this name Choo Choo) I play with flair And just a trifle to spare You leave the Polo Grounds' field 'bout a quarter to four Wondering if this team will ever start to score Want to hit the diner, stuck here with Ralph Kiner (Man, I'd rather be out by Ursa Minor) "Her name is Mrs. Coleman and she likes me, Bub." Not much more to say, aye there's the rub Got a glove I can't keep the ball in To the backstop, watch it rollin' (Whoo, Whoo, Clarence you run far) Stengel will see, after passed balls I'm a chasin' Grab 'em with grace (doo, doo) Man he's got a funny face (doo, doo, do, doo, doo, do, doo, doo, do, do, doo) He's gonna cry "Can't anybody here play this game?" and sigh (So, catcher named Choo Choo) Won't you catch the ball at home Get 'em now Don't care how Won't you catch the ball at home * Note: I'm using artistic license for rhyme here. Choo Choo Coleman actually bated one point higher for a .250 average for the Mets in 1962. Song: "Chattanooga Choo Choo," by Glenn Miller Player: Choo Choo Coleman, 1962-63, 1966

Yancy Street Gang Nov 07 2005 04:46 PM

Very nice. You get points from me for "Pardon me, Bub."

Diamond Dad Nov 07 2005 06:35 PM Does Grover get to vote?

I assume the commissioner's office is on top of that -- right? Alternative alias names don't get an extra vote? If they do, I'm going for the Seseme street song parody next round!!

Willets Point Nov 07 2005 06:43 PM

Waiting for ABG SQUIDRAGON: Well, shall we go? WILLETSDIMIR: Yes, let's go. They do not move.

ABG Nov 07 2005 09:05 PM

Ok, ok...I deserve the crap given me in this thread. Anyway, here's my entry on Randall K. Myers, as presented by the stylings of Otis Redding. Got it in on the day it was due, which is a near record for me. Given Willet's stellar post, I doubt this will be an issue with me again. Sittin' Watchin' Doc Play Sittin watchin’ Doc play I`ll be sittin' when the Series come, Watchin' the homer by Gibson, And I'll watch Orel mow em down again, yeah, I'm sittin’ watching Doc play, Watching the season sail away, ouh, I'm just waitin for the call from Davey, Rested fine. Doc threw that ball to Scioscia Now they’re headed for the Oakland bay We have nothing to play for, Look like no trophy’s gonna come our way, I'm sittin’ watchin’ Doc play, Watching the season sail away, ouh, I'm just waitin for the call from Davey, Rested fine. Look like the score won’t change, Orel’s gonna get the save, I can only do what Davey tell me So my lefty arm won’t get to play, yes, Sittin' here resting my arm , And the media won’t leave me alone, yes, For John Franco I will roam Just gonna make Cincinnati my home Now I'm sittin’ watchin’ Doc play Watching the season sail away, ooh Sittin' watchin’ Doc play Rested fine

Willets Point Nov 07 2005 10:35 PM

Otis, my man! My favorite all-time male singer. Well that was worth waiting for! Thanks ABG.

MFS62 Nov 08 2005 07:36 AM

Oh my goodness, I'm torn. My first ever basaeball song parody was based on Otis' song ("Sittin' in a box at big Shea, wastin' time") And the non-contest parody I posted here based on the Glenn Miller classic (Pardon me boy, is that Piazza in a tu tu?) is one of my all time faves. T'is a puzzlement. Later

Elster88 Nov 08 2005 08:48 AM

Another tough call.

ABG Nov 08 2005 03:01 PM

How long does voting go?

Willets Point Nov 08 2005 03:03 PM

Voting ends at 9:05 PM tonight (24 hrs after you posted your parody).

Elster88 Nov 08 2005 03:07 PM

Another barn-burner. 8-7.

ABG Nov 08 2005 07:12 PM

Really low voter turnout here. Hope it's better in Northern Virginia and New Jersey today.

Willets Point Nov 08 2005 09:20 PM

Looks like 9-7 is the final. Very well done ABG! I don't know if we should feel good or bad about the low voter turnout.

holychicken Nov 09 2005 08:49 AM

Sorry, guys, I have been a bit busy at work the past few days (because I wasted the few days before obsessing over whether or not I could beat Edgy) and haven't gotten the chance to sit down and give the songs proper due to vote. Next round. . .

ABG Nov 09 2005 09:50 AM

Congrats on a well played and won round WP. I will now fade off into Bolivian.
