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.
