Ah crap. Rogers said he was away for a long weekend so this one will hafta wait a little bit.

Yup. I could squeeze it in tonight but don't bet on it, then it's San Juan Fri-Sun, come home Monday night, not really would be in a posting mood, and Tuesday I start a new grad school course at Iona.

So best bet is Wednesday.

Sorry.

Okay, whipped this up quickly

Last year we came through -
Time after time -
We got ourselves the pennant!
Oh it was a great ride -
But now there is heartaches
Win streaks are a few
Murph died and we brought Sheffing in his place -
But he didn’t come through

We were the champions - my friends
But we kept on fighting - till the end -
We were the champions -
Now Pittsburgh is the champion
Even behind the Chicago losers
But we were the champions - of the world -

We took our bows
And our curtain calls -
We got fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
-
Nineteen Sixty-Nine was a ball! -

But Ryan’s seven and twelve didn’t smell like roses.
Cleon couldn’t come through -
While we finished over five hundred and in third place -
And Seaver hates to lose -

We will soon be champions – again!
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We will be the champions -
We will be the champions
No time for losers
We will be the champions - of the world -

My tiebreaker entry:


This one comes after the one I loved
This one comes after the 'series left behind
Another season to occupy my time
But it wasn't as good as the one I loved

Seventyyyyyyyyy! Seventyyyyyyyy!

This one we did get our first gold glove
But this one was just a bit more dull
Solid effort, but there was no miracle
This one comes after the one I loved

Seventyyyyyyyyy! Seventyyyyyyyy!

This one our success wasn't widespread
This one the Pirates and Cubs left us behind
No playoffs to occupy my time
This one comes after the one I loved

Seventyyyyyyyyy! Seventyyyyyyyy!

Hmm...now I can honestly say that I voted for Rogers before I voted against Rogers.
