Dagnabbit!

Some men make you stronger
And some men make you small
And the one that Cleveland gave you
Won't do anything at all
Go ask Carlos
When he's oh-for-four

And if you go chasing pennants
And you want to play in fall
Tell 'em an all star second baseman will
Be giving you his all
Recall Carlos
When he was still small

When tears in the dugout
Swell up and start to overflow
And he's just had some kind of cheesecake
And his belly's hanging low
Go ask Carlos
I think he'll know

When body and production
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the talent is slipping backwards
Fans in Queens are feeling dread
Remember the alternative
It's Jeff Kent
It's Jeff Kent

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Today I bring together two cities that are often butting heads with each other but, at the same time, often share a common goal (read: hatred.

Without further ado, I bring you a song staring two of the most notable voices of our time, Jerry Remy and Gary Cohen, singing in perfect harmony that timeless duet

Mets should have nixed that trade (to the tune of "Let's call the whole thing off")


Things have come to an ugly end,
His career has long since passed.
For they gave us crap and some junk
Oh and they got Kent and Jose.
We all know how bad it was.
Oh, god what were we thinking
It looks as if we screwed the pooch on this one
Nothing can be done


You say Baerga, and I say Bye-aye-ger,
Nomar hit a homer, Nomah hit a dingah
Baerga, Bye-egg-er, a homer, a dingah,
Met’s should have nixed that trade.

We take rotaries, you call them pure hell
It’s Lar and Ordah, to you Law and Order.
Rotaries, and pure hell, and ordah, and order
Met’s should have nixed that trade.

But oh! If you called the whole trade off
This song would die.
And oh! If this did die
Then that might make me cry!


So, if you like the T-cah and I’d like the subway
I’ll take the T-cah and give up the subway.
For this song we know we need each other
Coming, Going this song needs us both oh well
Mets should have nixed that trade.

You eat b’daydas and I eat potatoes,
I’ll meet you in Harvard, as you call it Havihd
B’daydas, potatoes, and Harvard, and Havihd
Mets should have nixed that trade.

You bang a uey, and I’ll make a U-turn
You like him in Bahstan, we hate him in NY
Coming, Going this song needs us both oh well
So we better call the trade nixing off
Mets should have nixed that trade.

But oh! If you called the whole trade off
This song would die.
And oh! If this did die
Then that might make me cry!

You say Baerga,
and you say Bye-aye-ger,
Nomar hit a homer,
Nomah hit a dingah
Baerga, Bye-egg-er, a homer, a dingah, Met’s should have nixed that trade.

I admire the Chicken's effort in this one but I don't necessarily understand it: If Baerga was acquired in a trade with the Red Sox it woulda turned this into extra bases.

Feed Your Head = It's Jeff Kent. Works for me.

I agree with 'bucket. Also I dig the use of Jefferson Airplane.

Yeah, I understand. All I had was a bad trade for Baerga. I don't know too much about him. . .except I lived in Boston when he was on the RS so I heard Remy call him Bye-aye-ger everyday and that is what stuck in my head.

You have no idea how many times while writing this song that I wished the trade was between the Sox and the Mets. I had some lines that worked really well. Stupid history, screwed me again.

I'd say this one is ova with TM winning 14-5 and setting up a rematch with me.

Grats Transmonk.

Another disappointing .500 year. I am going to have to get the owners to open their wallets this offseason.

This should be unstickied. Also the grid on the first page of the other thread should be updated.

TM, I'm gonna be outta the country (in Rome) starting Friday through next Sunday. If you want to go on Thursday I can prolly be ready. If not, our semis are going to have to wait til the week of the 25th.
