The Red Flops

The Red Flops Its baseball time in Boston Town Sure hope the team won t let us down Gonzales, Papi and Bobby V. Will surely a pennant bring. But oh no the season came And all our players came up lame. Bailey never threw a pitch Followed soon by Youkilis On the Disabled List went Jacoby So they brought in a guy named Cody needed another infield arm So they looked down to the farm. No Paw Sox were ready yet Especially not Inglesias so they traded and got Avilla Started as a home run killer Faded quick tho he didn t last So Cody picked up the slack Dustin fielded like an all star His bats power well not so far. Papi now can hit to right High average and his home run might But poor Alex can t hit his weight All his hits stay inside the gates. Still no Carl in center field really good 147 million dollar deal. No more Tek behind the plate A guy named Salty can t hit his weight. Beckett, Lester and Bucholtz Our starting pitching aces trio. Have ERA's of almost seventeen My mother could outpitch those three. Three cheers to the new guy Middlebrooks Home run power, decent looks Marlyn Byrd was a former Padre Has hit a few and earned his way. Still the season is very young only 26 games are gone Sox only 7.5 games out. Still time to bring the team around. Lets hope the Sox ownership team Wants to count wins and not pennies Bring the team talent that they need To win one more Beantown World Series.
