Here is my humble attempt, in honor of Opeing day, tomorrow Feb 20.
Sung to "Take me out to the Ball Game."
Feel free to make any changes necessary.
My manager strategy’s all set,
individual settings are too
I got OBP setting the table and
Ribbie men willing and able
a solid rotation from one to four
Firemen ready to close the door
There are no weak spots that I see
Could I prepare more?
[Chorus]
It’s opening day for my new team
Crafted with love just to win
Tonight for the first time, HAL roll’s the dice
Lord forgive me for chasing this vice
Cuz for 7 to 8 weeks my life’s screwed
Up early each morning to cry
I find one, two, three ways to lose
leaves me asking why?
Oh my gold-glover booted the ball
my big-time slugger struck out
my stud starting pitcher got pulled after three
to face a strong lefty, in came a righty
Oh, I think that HAL’s dice are loaded
When I’m up, he only rolls twos
but only one good move from the wire
gets me past these blues
