Bisons in the Breach

Bunt the First Two Jun 04 2012 06:48 AM

O, Met fans of each nation O, Met fans of each race O, harken to my calling O, catch on to my case My argument is simple My reasoning’s no reach The Mets, they would be lost without Their Bisons in the breach [list]'The Mets, they will be lost this year' O, all the experts said 'The Mets could lose a hundred!' 'The Mets, they could be dead!' 'They’ll crumble like a cracker' 'They’ll wash up on the beach!' 'They’ll fold like paper when they throw Their Bisons in the breach'[/list:u] They opened up a winner But the sharks all circled round ‘Don’t fool yourselves, supporters!’ Your centerfielder’s down! We know the ways of baseball So, listen while we teach! Nieuwenhius will not suffice --- A Bison in the breach’ [list]But Nieuenhuis could hit a bit And Nieuenhuis he could run He hung in there when lefties pitched His arm was no small gun ‘Shall I love him?’ Mets fans asked ‘O, shall I eat a peach? And celebrate our winning with This Bison in the breach?'[/list:u] And when Cedeño pulled up Our plans, they had a wrench ‘No team can win!’ the critics cried ‘Sans vet’rans on the bench!’ The Mets, they called up Valdespin O, hear the critics preach! But cheer the walkoff homer from This Bison in the breach [list]I sing of Jer’my Hefner A pitcher of mine heart His Met career, it got off to An inauspicious start ‘O, here it comes!’ the haters cried ‘The pennant's out of reach!’ He won the game and homered, my Sweet Bison in the breach[/list:u] O, Bay and then Tejada Mike Pelfrey and Josh Thole Some Mets have gone down hurting Some stat lines are too lowly ‘Ike Davis has the fever!’ “Acosta sucks!” they screech Then Alderson, he calmly plugs A Bison in the breach [list]I sing now of Rottino Of Carson, do I cry Confuse him not with Johnson Another Rob I spy And hail Miguel Batista I have some words for each Saluting those about to rock As Bisons in the breach[/list:u] Of all the Bison players That yet have had their day Mike Baxter has stood tallest (Tho’ here since op’ning day) To Johan, he’s a hero That word’s no over-reach The patron saint of Buff’lomen All Bisons in the breach [list]I pray now for Tejada For Pelfrey, do I mourn For all the Mets who have withstood Such pain and bitter scorn I pray for any reader who’s Endured my lengthy speech To praise the fallen and to hail The Bisons in the Breach[/list:u] So come, ye Mets believers to The park and see the light My heart of hearts exhorts me E’en in the darkest night All summer round your TV screens Your rad’yos at the beach Acclaim your bold Met warriors And Bisons in the breach

Seriously holmes, gather them up, find a good artist for accompanying drawings, and become the Shel Silverstein of Flushing.

Epic. I hope you were wearing a helmet with horns on it when you wrote this.

Love me some Spin, but they need a righty stick.

Congratulations to Buffalo Bison Val Pascucci for winning the AAA HR Derby. As we say on Passover, "next year at Citi Field." http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ym ... p&sid=t422
