I hope you're ready Sharpie. We had said Tuesday, but I'm out the door early and won't be home until way late...so I'm posting mine now. Good luck! Song: “Oddball Pitcher” Subject: Turk Wendell A Parody Of: [url=www.cancerrecords.com/Wizard.mp3]“Pinball Wizard” by The Who[/url] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ He comes running from the bullpen, the man who's off the wall From April to October he's eager for the call After each and every batter the rosin bag will fall That righty mid-reliever sure is a keen oddball Hopping over baselines, wishing he were Charlie Sheen All he drinks is OJ, and he keeps his molars clean He's waving to Jay Payton, the ump rolls him the ball That kid from Quinnipiac sure is a keen oddball He's an oddball pitcher, there always is a twist That oddball pitcher's got such a nutty wit Why do you think he does it? I don't know! What makes him so weird? On the mound he's an attraction, crouches down when Mike is up Draws crosses in the dirt, mouth's full of black licorice Always wears a necklace made up of teeth and claws That righty with the slider sure is a keen oddball I thought Wade Boggs was the superstition king But I just handed the oddball crown to him Even with his quirky nature, he will give his best Bobby V will bring him in and he just does the rest And Shea's fans all go crazy when that rosin bag does fall That righty mid-reliever sure is a keen oddball

Subject: Dwight Gooden Song: GENIUS OF LOVE by Tom Tom Club http://yonny1.imeem.com/music/8Ybsdvwx/genius_of_love/ THE SAVIOR OF OUR CLUB What he gonna do when he gets out of jail? He’s gonna have some fun What does he consider fun? Snort some coke and run. Doc’s on the mound Pitching to those hitters, those frightened hitters In at the beginning and in at the end ‘Pen isn’t needed for his appearance He’d throw heaters Then they’re swingin’, swingin’ and missing It is one time I’m glad I am a fan Feels like I’m dreaming, but I’m not sleeping It’s Eighty-Six We’re the focus of the baseball nation Davey’s infielders such as Keith Hernandez Raise expectations to a new dimension No one can swing Quite like Darryl, Darryl Strawberry Winnin’ and stompin’ with Bob Ojeda Strike zone’s expanding with Sid and Darling (Oops he might be using Oops he might be using Oops he might be using Oops he might be…) Then the parade Doc, he was missing It was the beginning Of all the troubles that would come later He went insane when he took cocaine. (german stuff) Bohanen Bohanen Bohanen Bohanen Bohanen Bohanen Bohanen Bohanen After Doc had left us, well the boredom grows Who wants to watch while a no-name throws? As a Yankity-ho he throws a no-no Who wants to watch when they pitch this schmoe: Bohanen Bohanen Bohanen Bohanen Who wants to watch when they pitch these schmoes: Bohanen Bohanen Bohanen Bohanen Mark Clark, Mark Clark Mark Clark, Mark Clark If you see him Please remind him, he was the greatest He was the savior of our club He gave us a greater depth of feeling He was the savior of our club Not some perp.

Good luck again, Sharpie! Love the Tom Tom Club.

Good luck to you, too, Monk. I'm a Who man from way back.

Johnny Dickshot Feb 13 2007 08:37 AM

Wow.

Edgy DC Feb 13 2007 08:45 AM

I just watched Stop Making Sense a few nights ago, with a hippity-hop and a hippity-ho.

Monk - awesome job. I'm a big Who guy as well as you did both the Mets and The 'Ew justice. sharpie - you hit me with that on so many different levels that I had no choice but to vote for you. Just a great, great job. ](Oops he might be using Oops he might be using Oops he might be using Oops he might be…) Mark Clark, Mark Clark Mark Clark, Mark Clark

I had to go with TM. Not only because of my fondness of the subject matter, but because it was a much better sing-a-long fit.

sharpie Feb 13 2007 01:36 PM

Gettin' killed here. TM's reminded me of Doc's (as Hot Corner) effort from a few years back: http://cybermessageboard.ehost.com/getalife/viewtopic.php?t=1005 Pinball Wizard lends itself well to flakey relief pitchers.

Centerfield Feb 13 2007 01:56 PM

It reminded me of Doc's too. It was like having to re-live a bad loss on ESPN Classic. Still I went with TM. Nice entry by both though.

Rockin' Doc Feb 13 2007 07:29 PM

I still like Centerfields line of: "Where's my hitting coach...I need to fire someone...." It cracked me up then and it still does now.

Johnny Dickshot Feb 14 2007 08:10 AM

I voted for "Scott Holman Again" because it had to be a true story.

Congrats 'Monk. Good luck in the finals. I've now lost in every round of this tournament.

Willets Point Feb 14 2007 12:18 PM

Wow, Monk is a rookie phenom. Meanwhile Dickshot is the Peyton Manning type, the superstar looking to finally win a championship. Should be a good final.

TransMonk Feb 14 2007 01:17 PM

Thanks, sharpie...I thought your song was one of the more original ones of this tournament.
