Pick your favorite parody from among the three entries tied for the last semi-final slot. Choose carefully because your vote, once submitted, cannot be changed. Voting ends in 48 hours. The top vote-getter advances to the semi-finals. The other two don't. If there is a two-way tie for the top spot at the end of voting in this tiebreaker round, the third-place finisher will be eliminated from the tournament and another poll will be held to determine the fourth semi-finalist from the remaining two contestants. If there is still a three-way tie after this round of tiebreaker voting, youse three are gonna have to write another parody to break the three-way tie -- (a short parody - eight lines only ... details to follow if we get there). Please remain anonymous. All of youse.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0jMPI_pUec Felix Millan - Aqualung - Jethro Tull Sitting on the Mets bench Eyeing shallow right with bad intent Squatting in his batting pose Easy contact, slappy bat control, hey, F Millan Stroking on his porn ‘stache Poking singles with his swinging ash, hey, F Millan Bunting from his choke-up Sacrificing the lead runner up, oh, F Millan October cold, first game of the Series Takes a grounder the only way he knows Fucks it up bad, as he bends to pick the ball up It rolls down underneath, a costly E Feeling alone, the next man up is Rudi Campy steals on Matlack and Grote F. Millan, my friend, don't you start to feel uneasy When Rudi drives in the second run unearned Do you still remember The Partridge Family And the song that clings into your brain “Come on and get happy”? But your error dooms the Mets best chance And even Keith's mellow sounds Won't sooth the hurt And madness ‘till the spring Moving along, an August game in Pittsburgh Takes a double-play ball, a 6-4-3 Ott slides in bad, he takes you off your feet and You slug him in the face to start a fray Three Rivers turf, man that surface hurts Separating your shoulder on a body slam F. Millan, my friend, don't you start to feel uneasy When your broken collarbone won't ever heal Feeee, Fee, Fee, Fee. Fee-Fee, Fee-Fee, Fee-Felix Fee-Fee-Fee, Fee-Fee-Fee, Fee-Fee, Felix F. Millan, my friend, don't you start to feel uneasy When your broken collarbone won't ever heal Swinging at the first one Hit behind the runner, to drive in a run Warning-track power strong “I Think I Love You” is his second-favorite song, hey F. Millan Choking up on on his bat Batting average is his favorite stat, hey F. Millan Feeling like a poor schmuck Good career with a lot of rotten luck, hey F. Millan Oh, eff Millan

[YOUTUBE]EwPRm5UMe1A[/YOUTUBE] Felix Millan/John Stearns - Bad, Bad Leroy Brown - Jim Croce Song Title: "That Big, Dumb Jerk, Ed Ott" Well in the days of Yogi Berra There was a shortstop named Millan And his baseball card Got the fans all hard And so his legend still lives He was small and He was wiry Lord, He choked up on the bat He was a contact hitter And there are some still bitter ‘bout How Ed Ott put out The Cat! That big … .. dumb … … jerk, Ed Ott Thinking o' him still gets me hot! Bigger than a freshman's bong Dumber than a wooden log Now, Millan came from Atlanta In the time of Willie Mays With our keystone tenant Man, we won the pennant Turning beaucoup double plays! He was a stubborn contact hitter He got MVP support! Though he had less power Than a wilting flower Man, Ed Ott was a shitty sport! That dull … … foul … … douche, Ed Ott Five stupid letters is all he got! Duller than a game of Pong Stinky like a Georgia bog It was an August doubleheader The year was mostly gone But the Mets still battled So Mister Ed got rattled It was the sad end of Millan Ott slid into second It was a standard, legal tag But he twisted Felix Into a double helix And they called for a body bag! It was that ug- … … -ly ... … fuck Ed Ott Took him out with a cheap-assed shot! Ugly as Lou Grant in a thong And meaner than a demagogue Well, the Mets had Archie Bunker They had Oscar Madison But some bad years beckoned As Flynn played second And Millan went to Nippon But Stearns, he still remembered And payback is his law I bet Ott felt cruddy As Dude avenged his buddy When he crushed Dave Parker's jaw ‘Cuz he's a horse- -shit Guy, Ed Ott You say, “Name an asshole,” he's all I've got! Ignorant and woebegone Denser than the London fog And he's a bad … … dude … John F. Stearns Ott fucks with us, and Ott, he learns Felix you were treated wrong But Stearns, he wrote the epilogue

I only voted for one of these. Pitted against each other now, not sure that vote will carry over to the tie-breaker round.

Two "ball on the wall" game songs and one Jim Croce based parody advance to the semis. The strict semis. Did youse know that Jim Croce died on the same day that the Mets beat the Pirates in the "ball on the wall" game - September 20, 1973?

Did youse know that Jim Croce died on the same day that the Mets beat the Pirates in the "ball on the wall" game - September 20, 1973? I knew that. It was also the night of the Billie Jean King / Bobby Riggs match.

It was also the night of the Billie Jean King / Bobby Riggs match. That's right. I knew all of that. I also remember going to school the next day, and in the five or so minutes before the teacher got the class under control at the beginning of the school-day, there was a heated argument going on throughout the classroom about what everyone watched on TV the night before and what was best. A friend of mine who sat near me was pretty vocal about the Riggs/King match and I was thinking to my early 70s grade school self -- "Who the hell would want to watch a girl play tennis?"
