Howie Rose Has The Score The screen lies silently blank In the dead of the night Although the Mets are playing baseball I can't connect to SNY Was it something I said or something I did? Did I type the URL out right? Though I tried tuning the TV Man, I tried But I guess that's fine because Howie Rose has the score Just like David Wright's throws will soar Just like Moises Alou saw the first World War Howie Rose has the score Yeah, he does I listen to our favorite team Playing on the radio Hearing Howie say the ball is driven deep and That it's "Gone!!” But I wonder does he know That it has to be like this And I know that Cohen'd be here right now If it wasn't for that damn blackout I guess Howie Rose has the score Just like Lo Duca's 0-for-4 Just like 'Los Delgado has been feeling bored Howie Rose has the score Though we're through the sixth now And the Mets still lead the game How I long to see Keith and Ronnie But the voice, that voice remains I know we could have won it in the ninth But Wagner blew the save Instead of slappin' gloves They all played an extra frame But then a homer won it in the tenth Wish I could have seen it clear the fence The highlight's prob'ly worth a look Howie said to "put it in the books!" I guess Howie Rose has the score Just like El Duque's calf is sore Just like Jose Valentin has a 'stache for porn Howie Rose has the score

Gary Cohen out talking with Hernandez on TV From FAN’s window I’m staring while my coffee grows cold Look over there! (Where?) There’s my old partner with a microphone Does play-by-play with jocks or something so I am told Is he really going out with them? Will he really drink a beer with them tonight? Is he really going out with them? ‘Cause if I’m left with McCarthy I’m gonna lose my mind around here. Tonight’s the night when fans are all turning on their TV Pedro is pitching and the Mets are really in a groove Look over there! (Where?) There is Darling sitting in S-N-Y booth They say that looks sure count for all things Well there’s your proof. Is he really going out with them? Will he really leave old Howie here tonight? Is he really going out with them? ‘Cause if I’m left with McCarthy I’m gonna lose my mind around here. Around here. But remember when He and I were the hot radio team We’d do our bits And then go take a nice hot steam It was a dream in Flushing, Queens. Hey hey hey Is he really going out with them? Is it gonna be hotel reruns tonight? Is he really going out with them? ‘Cause if I’m left with McCarthy I’m gonna lose my mind around here. Around here Around here Gonna lose my mind around here Gonna lose my mind… http://youtube.com/watch?v=3RWyFX3UO_E

Sticky dis please.

Another outstanding round! I'm giving my personal edge to TM, though, because his parody is more on topic than sharpie's, IMO. Plus TM's final stanza is brilliant - Howie Rose has the score Just like El Duque's calf is sore Just like Jose Valentin has a 'stache for porn Howie Rose has the score

Too. Close. To call.

I "got" both on the first read -- a sign of greatness. I have to think about this one.

TM's might be my favorite parody that I've ever seen in this contest.

These were both truly awesome. "'Cause if I'm left with McCarthy, I'm gonna lose my mind around here," however, clinched it for Sharpie for me.

Monk has him on the ropes in the early rounds. That line about Alou was just a devastating haymaker.

Half an hour left with appallingly low turnout. Prolly can't make up the 4-vote difference in that time. That way I won't be thinking about the 1983 Mets while in Rome. Congrats, Monk. Ciao.

Vote, you loafers.
