Evie's Fears While I was getting her concessions Howard went to the mound again I look up, Evie’s sighing Says “They’re bringing Holman in” Evie’s fears are coming true tonight Evie fears that the rout is on with Holman in the spotlight First guy singles on a curve too high Next one lines a double into right Another hit and Evie cries It’s all over, not an out in sight Evie’s tears I gently wipe from her eyes Evie’s angry tears, blur her vision amid the stadium lights Angry girl You’ve been cursing Holman between sips of ice cold beer Ok, he walked another You’re asking why he’s still out there (acoustic guitar solo) He walked another Sacks are drunk and you wish you were In the middle of Evie’s nightmare Howard finally reappears Pulls Holman and she is cheering I wish I could disappear Evie’s fears are coming true tonight Evie’s worst case fears are taking place right before her eyes Heartbroken girl You’ve been praying Looking up your face turned white with fear “Oh no, now it’s Gorman Games over, let’s get out of here” Edited out my double posting of the song

Subject: Kenny Rogers Date: October 19, 1999 Place: Turner Field, Atlanta Situation: Bases loaded, one out GROUNDED OUT I’ll get him grounded out A double play means out and out He’ll hit the ball my way Call it comebacker to home to first and End of the Braves’ rally. My pitches dance and sing They’ll make Andruw Jones really swing He’ll hit the ball my way Call it comebacker to home to first and End of the Braves’ rally In and around the plate First pitch comes in and it’s high He stands there. First pitch, ball one, big deal, I just overthrew Next one he’ll be swinging, I’ll be laughing too He’ll hit it right inside my glove you’ll see I am telling you. I will retire Andruw His grinning mood will change to blue Right when he tops that sphere Call it comebacker to home to first and End of the Braves’ rally. In and around the plate Next pitch comes in and it’s wide He stands there That pitch, ball two, real close, he was almost fooled Next I’ll try the slider he’ll be swinging through Then he’ll hit it in my glove you’ll see I am telling you. Among the chopping crowd I hear the fans make Mock Indian sounds Pratt and Dave Wallace come out for a Visit to pitcher’s mound Dave says to just throw strikes or else this game will Spin out of hand I’ve heard this all before did he think I’m Too dumb to understand Just ‘cause I’m from Georgia don’t mean I don’t know how to pitch He thinks he’s fancypants but I think he’s a Son of a bitch. I’ll get him grounded out A double play means out and out I’ll get him grounded out A double play means out and out In and around the plate Next pitch comes in, it’s inside He stands there Ball three in the catcher’s glove I am scared. I hope he’s grounded out A double play means out and out He’ll hit the ball my way Call it comebacker to home to first and End of the Braves’ rally. In and around the plate Next pitch comes in and it’s wide He stands there! Now I’ve done it, series over, I’m so screwed I’ll sign back with Texas where they call me “dude” Then I’ll punch a cameraman, you’ll see I am telling you.

Oh. My. God. Mrs. Shot just reprimanded me for laughing too loud.

Elster88 Dec 05 2005 09:15 PM

Again, very nice.

Edgy DC Dec 05 2005 09:58 PM

You're telling me I can only vote for the best?

MFS62 Dec 06 2005 08:47 AM

Songs, please These weren't that obvious to me. Later

Johnny Dickshot Dec 06 2005 09:24 AM

RD: Evie's Tears -- Freedy Johnston: Great song if someewhat obscure to non-fans Sharpie: I won't say. 70s. FM rock-radio Classic, rhymes with "grounded Out"

Edgy DC Dec 06 2005 09:45 AM

Sharpie's is the only semi-final entry from the Q-104.3 list.

Johnny Dickshot Dec 06 2005 09:51 AM

Top 50 I'll bet. Without looking, I'd guess: 36.

#62. Not a bad guess.

Edgy DC Dec 06 2005 10:19 AM

I haven't voted yet. Rockin' Doc, there's a large bit of repeated material and I fear some of that was inadvertant. Please double check your post.

sharpie Dec 06 2005 11:02 AM

Just so folks don't have to go find the Q-104.3 thread, the song is "Roundabout" by Yes.

Rockin' Doc Dec 06 2005 01:09 PM

Edgy - " I haven't voted yet. Rockin' Doc, there's a large bit of repeated material and I fear some of that was inadvertant. Please double check your post." Damn, I somehow cut and pasted the song into the post twice. I wasn't happy with this effort, but I did not wish to hold up the proceedings any longer so I posted it and left. Not that it will matter in the end, but may I remove the duplicate sections?

sharpie Dec 06 2005 01:11 PM

I don't object to Doc taking out duplicate part of the song.

Valadius Dec 06 2005 01:11 PM

You probably should.

Yancy Street Gang Dec 06 2005 01:13 PM

I don't know who's in charge of granting such requests, but it seems to me that you should be allowed to remove the extra text.

Edgy DC Dec 06 2005 01:21 PM

Go.

Rockin' Doc Dec 06 2005 01:30 PM

Thanks to you all. At least no one has to read through it twice now.

Edgy DC Dec 06 2005 02:02 PM

Not a lot of parodies set during the brief Frank Howard era.

The use of "Roundabout" is so audacious and inspired that I think the whole Parody contest should be stopped right now and Sharpie declared the winner. Plus, anyone who can get us to laught about Kenny Rogers exit performance as a Met deserves some kind of special prize.

Yancy Street Gang Dec 06 2005 02:25 PM Re: Epic.

Rockin' Doc Dec 06 2005 07:13 PM

Well, this was a major ass whippin'. Without a doubt, the best parody won this match up. First I would like to congratulate sharpie on his fine work, not only in this round, but throughout this contest. I only wish I had offered up something more formidable, but I doubt it would have mattered in the final outcome. "Grounded Out" was ingenius. I wish both sharpie and Yancey well in the finals. Should Grover wish to interview me, I'll be drowning my wounded pride in the losers lounge.

ScarletKnight41 Dec 06 2005 07:15 PM

Come on over Hottie - I've got plenty of Big Appletinis in the Lounge. Congrats sharpie - well done!
