I have to block out thoughts of him so I don't lose my head The callers call the talkshows rave my name it should be shed Dropping off the roster sheet to deny that I'd atoned Playing, hurting in my arm until my elbow would be blown There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain Outright release was all you want for me, so I never hurl again Oh, will you never say that you love me just to offer but a taste? And will you never try to cheer me? Was not I that made the trade Hate me today Hate me tomorrow Hate me so you can have a reason for your boos. The doctors knew my elbow hurt yet on due diligence I was healthy-ish The one thing that should've kept us apart - inflammation in my ligament When did Rick say "I want to fix him! Just have him pitching right by my side!" While I was busy walking scores by myself, Duke was trying to get my rights He never doubted my sure potential. He thinks "ooh, my slider's great!" He surely overspent himself when I was free enough to take Oh, you cried so fucking hard that day and I thought it was unkind And so forever our fates in this knot, Scott Kazmir's and mine Hate me today Hate me tomorrow Hate me for all the games he would've won for you Hate me for years Yeah years long to follow Hate me so you can have a reason for your boos. And with a sad heart I said bye to Tampa Bay Talking chatters in the streets the pitching prospect that they did trade They liked the baby boy to be the next Ryan Until I wore the blue and orange and you hid your face in your hands And the you fell down yelling "Make him go away!" I tried to smile - how asinine! But liked I wished to be Met fans they whispered "How can you do this to me?" Hate me today Hate me tomorrow Hate me for all the games he would've won for you Hate me for years Yeah years long to follow Hate me so you can have a reason for your boos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Song: “Hate Me" Subject: Victor Zambrano A Parody Of: “Hate Me” by Blue October

Skip Lockwood sez: Choose Life. Choose me! *** Sk-sk-skiplockwood… …Skiplockwood… …Skiplockwood… (organ) …Skiplockwood… You put the boom-boom into my heart When you give me a seat on the bullpen cart The fire-alarm that is my brain Goes a clang-clang-clang when you call my name But something's bugging me Something ain't right Craig Swan told me what you did last night Left me sittin’ in the pen Swannie was struggling, I should have been there instead! Get me up before you blow it, Joe Don't leave me waiting all night to throw, yo Get me up before you blow it I don't want to miss it when you yank that guy Get me up before you blow it Joe Cuz it ain’t like you can trust Cornejo Get me up before you blow it And get me some innings tonight I wanna throw a striiiiiike I want the baseball every damn day I’m the best thing owned by Lorinda DeRoulet When a bright start starts to look weak Call the fat, flame-throwing, glasses-wearing geek 'Cause you're my Skipper, I'm your Ace It makes me crazy that we’re in last place Come on, Torre, let's agree You spell relief 'S-K-I-P' Get me up before you blow it Joe Don't leave me waiting all night to throw, yo Get me up before you blow it I don't want to miss it when you yank that guy Get me up before you blow it, Joe I’m not a vegetable of Pignatano Get me up before you blow it I’ll go three innings tonight With my poor eyesiiiiiiight (yeah, yeah, baby!) (horn solo) …Skiplockwood… …Skiplockwood… Huddle up, Joey, move in tight Pat Zachry ain’t got it tonight The will is there, but his arm is dead Take him out, I’ll go in instead (organ solo) …Skiplockwood… Get me up before you blow it Joe Don't leave me waiting all night to throw, yo Get me up before you blow it I don't want to miss it when you yank that guy Get me up before you blow it, Joe It ain’t like you can call Orosco Get me up before you blow it I’ll go three innings tonight! Don’t leave me waiting all night to throw yo…. (joyous fade)

Classic WHAM. Gotta love it!

Incredible matchup. The Wham! song is fun, but the choice of Hate Me for Zambrano is an inspired choice.

smg58 Jan 16 2007 07:33 PM

The toughest choice so far.

Kong76 Jan 17 2007 05:36 AM

Difficult, went with Johnny by a hair (probably more out of familiarity with the original song than anything else).

My problem with Johnny's was that nasty little extra syllable he needed to insert in between "blow" and "Joe." It is tricky to figure out what to do there, admittedly, but the catchiness of "go-go" and the fact that it was the hook to the original song, makes it hard for me to give this my untarnished support.

Nice job guys. Surprisingly I am quite familiar with that Blue October tune as my 10 year-old has very recently gotten into music and that is the type of stuff he digs. Had to go with JD on this one though. Wham! always reminds me of my college days and I was a big Skip Lockwood guy. And I really liked - 'I want the baseball every damn day I’m the best thing owned by Lorinda DeRoulet'

I'm not voting but both are amazin....

metsmarathon Jan 17 2007 11:31 AM

i should know by now to focus on the early 80's for my material... the newer stufff hardly ever gets any votes.

Willets Point Jan 17 2007 11:40 AM

I'd say 54% of me liked one parody and 46% liked the other. I don't know marathon's song but I always like when a parody includes lines from the original that takes on new meaning in the context. Dickshot's was peppy & fun but I can't make skiplockwood work rythmically in place of "they did the jitterbug". So I voted for marathon.

Today (today today) I consider myself (er myself) the luckiest man (uckiest man) on the face of the earth (face of the earth)

rats! another first round exit!

Johnny Dickshot Jan 18 2007 12:23 PM

If only Biff Thunderpants were alloowed in for an interview, I'd tell him how relieved I am.

Grover Jan 18 2007 12:52 PM

Security is like Fort Knox out there. Tell Biff I vouched for him at the gate and he can come on in. My name is still good for something around here.

metsmarathon Jan 18 2007 01:13 PM

hey, muppet! point me to the loser's lounge. i've got a hankering for a shrimp platter. frayed knot'd better not mock my sack dance while i'm in there sucking down invertebrates, or all heck's gonna break lose!

Grover Jan 18 2007 01:26 PM

Direction of the Loser's Lounge? I'm sure I wouldn't know. I retired undefeated. Yes. Un-de-FEAT-ed. (On edit: Wow! Grover dance!)
