Take a Walk From The Wild Guy Hepler came from Covington in V.A. Looked like he was 12 when he got to Shea Tall and thin as he could be A funny looking lefty was he We said, hey Bill, glad to have you on our side Hey Hepler, glad to have you on our side Hepler worked from out of the bullpen Things would get wild whenever he came in His best pitch must have been a ball Cause that was always the umpire’s call Wes said, Hey Bill, I thought you were on our side Wes said, Hey Hepler, I thought you were on our side And all the Mets fans went Boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo Boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo Boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo… Teams knew Bill was prone to throw the ball away If they took pitches they’d make him pay A few walks here and a wild pitch there New York City’s the place where they’d say Hey man, take a walk from the wild guy They’d say, hey man, take a walk from the wild guy Whenever Wild Bill came into the game The other team’s plan was always the same Take balls high, take balls low They’re wearing walking shoes you know They said, hey batter, take a walk from the wild guy They said, hey man, take a walk from the wild guy Hepler never learned to have control All those wild pitches took their toll His career was one year and done While he was a Met, hope he had some fun Grant said, hey Bill, take a walk you’re too wild guy Grant said, hey Hepler, take a walk you’re too wild guy And all the Met fans said Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo…

The game is underway. Dickshot, fire your best bullet.

Johnny Dickshot Nov 21 2005 01:29 PM

Note: Italized lyrics are spoken, not sung. THE GUY SAID ‘KEVIN BAEZ’ “He’s poetry in motion,” I said to the guy next to me As we watched in slow motion I wondered what Met did I see And the guy said “Kevin Baez” The guy said “Kevin Baez!” And gave me his biography: Local kid from Bensonhurst… (Guy said Kevin Baez - Baez!) “Baez.” …A good- looking infielder (Guy said Kevin Baez - Baez!) “BAEZ!!!” “Baez!” Oh, but he’s poetry in motion Even if he plays part-time He never hit a home run Or surpassed the Mendoza Line The guy said “Kevin Baez” The guy said… “Kevin Baez!” And went on chronologically: After nineteen-ninety-three... (Guy said Kevin Baez! Baez!) “Baez.” ...Traded for David Segui! (Guy said Kevin Baez! Baez!) “BAEZ!!!” Ha! He’s poetry in motion And now he’s bounced around the league But can’t get a promotion From Baltimore to Cinc’nati The guy said “Kevin Baez” The guy said “Ke-vin Baez” It’s Triple A psychology “Good heavens Mr. Baez - you're dutiful!” I - I don’t believe it! Here he comes again! Ten years later, and playing with the Tides again! All those days and nights To sow those oats And can’t get a promotion… But! -- He’s poetry in motion! When you’re on L.I. you’ll see That with the Ducks he’s coachin’ He never gave up on his dream Oh, THE GUY SAID “KEVIN BAEZ!” The guy said ... “Kevin Baez” The guy said Kevin... Oo-Oo-Oo! Oo-Oo-Oo! Oooh!

Tough call, tough call. Also kills my Scott Strickland idea.

seawolf17 Nov 21 2005 01:36 PM

Two things: One, I'm glad Doc beat me, because he did great work in this round. Two, I know Doc's song is obviously "Walk On The Wild Side," but is JD's "She Blinded Me With Science"?

Edgy DC Nov 21 2005 01:37 PM

Yup.

seawolf17 Nov 21 2005 01:39 PM

Damn. That's two incredibly creative pieces of work there.

ScarletKnight41 Nov 21 2005 01:44 PM

Kudos - another tough round!

Centerfield Nov 21 2005 02:08 PM

Great songs both of you.

Edgy DC Nov 21 2005 02:14 PM

I'm afraid, when I'm stuck, I'll fall into the habit of waiting until early results come in and then vote for the guy who has fallen behind in order to help perpetuate the contest.. That's not a very honorable way for me to be voting.

sharpie Nov 21 2005 02:20 PM

I say no checking how it's going until after you vote. But that's just me. I gotta face one of these guys, can't even vote defensively, both are good.

Elster88 Nov 21 2005 02:31 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Nov 21 2005 02:41 PM

I try not to let the song influence me, but I've always had a soft spot for the song Rockin Doc parodied. Great job both of you. _____________________________ This post had the designation 121) Roger Craig

KC Nov 21 2005 02:37 PM

I'm sure we all have our voting quirks. I don't think I've ever voted for a Billy Joel song. Not because it wasn't done well, but because he gets on my nerves.

Centerfield Nov 21 2005 02:41 PM

Now you tell me.

Grover Nov 21 2005 02:57 PM

Battles raging! Pendulums swinging! Parodists parodying! Rockin' Doc cuts open up a 4-1 lead! Dickshot shoots back to a 6-4 advantage! Doc recovers for a 6-6 tie! Now Johnny leads by a nose, 7-6! I need a liedown.

Ernie Nov 21 2005 03:02 PM

I've got a question for you Grover. You were always the monster that everyone loved. Then that annoying twit Elmo came along and has replaced you. How does that make you feel?

Grover Nov 21 2005 03:05 PM

Not the time nor place. I'm on a different gig now. The real monsters now are those two monster seasons Doc and Dick are having.

Yancy Street Gang Nov 21 2005 03:10 PM

Now Doc is up 9-7.

Diamond Dad Nov 21 2005 03:10 PM Wow

Very nice. I didn't pick up on the blinded me with science parody until it was stated, which is a problem. Both are tremendously obscure players, which is a credit to both authors. Nice job, guys.

Zvon Nov 21 2005 06:41 PM

both hilarious. You guys make the off season fun and funny.

Grover Nov 21 2005 10:10 PM

Well, the Doc has passed the seemingly magic 13 votes, but Dick is right. On. His. Heels. Rightonhisheels! Fourteen and a half hours to close that two-vote gap. Can Dickshot do it?

Valadius Nov 21 2005 11:04 PM

Did you vote, Grover? Or are you an impartial observer?

Grover Nov 21 2005 11:16 PM

It would be... inappropriate. Inappropriate. I-N-A-.. um, P, P... Ropriate! Inappropriate.

Grover Nov 22 2005 08:15 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Nov 22 2005 09:21 AM

Dickshot finds his two voters overnight, but one of them abandons him and goes for Docshot. We have the first race where both candidates have reached 13 votes. One voter going the other way could have swung this to a tie. Dickshot's best hope is that a Met transaction --- or at least a juicey rumor --- drives traffic here and brings in a few lost voters.

For a while I was heading toward this year's "biggest loser" award - the person who got the most votes (12) in a losing effort. I believe one or two contestants had received 12 votes in contests that ended in a tie. I will gladly hand that award over to the loser of this match. Later

Johnny Dickshot Nov 22 2005 08:54 AM

Alert the editors, Grove. When this is all over I'll grant you a front-page exclusive.

sharpie Nov 22 2005 08:58 AM

Kind of funny right now that Dickshot is Hepler.

Grover Nov 22 2005 09:23 AM

Dickshot, I asked them to clear the decks for an interview/profile this afternoon, and their answer was "Go ahead, it's Thanksgiving week. Nobody else is working anyhow." Yay!!!

Valadius Nov 22 2005 11:37 AM

Two hours remain.

old original jb Nov 22 2005 12:20 PM Voted for Johnny....

“Good heavens Mr. Baez - you're dutiful!” How could one not vote for that?

Edgy DC Nov 22 2005 01:01 PM

We want a tie! We want a tie!

sharpie Nov 22 2005 01:29 PM

Doc wins, 16-15.

Yancy Street Gang Nov 22 2005 01:45 PM

31 voters. Wow. I wonder why this particular contest generated such a large turnout.

sharpie Nov 22 2005 01:50 PM

Maybe because work is slow everywhere and this was the only contest.

Elster88 Nov 22 2005 01:51 PM

I only voted four times and usually I vote six or seven so it wasn't me.

ScarletKnight41 Nov 22 2005 01:53 PM

Congratulations Hottie!

sharpie Nov 22 2005 05:40 PM

Congrats, Doc. I'll be good for next Monday if you think you can have yet another one ready by then.

Rockin' Doc Nov 27 2005 08:18 PM

Wow, what a great contest. I left for a family Thanksgiving around noon on Tuesday. I haven't had internet access until returning home this evening. I wasn't aware of the outcome of the match between JD and I until now. Another tough contest that I feel lucky to have narrowly escaped with a victory. Sharpie, I will look over the players I have available to me and start to work on something for our match up. I should have something for either Tuesday or Wednesday evening.

sharpie Nov 27 2005 10:14 PM

Okey dokey. Lemme know when you're ready.
