Sox Yankees a recap poem
'Twas the day of game seven
And all through the nation Not a fan wasn't watching, We were ready for a celebration. As we watched the first two games, We lost each one badly, Pedro took the mound, We heard "who's your daddy?" Game three was a blowout Yankees 19-8. They thought about a sweep But Ortiz said, "hey wait." At the beginning of game four, Some thought they blew it, Until Ortiz came to the plate, And he said, "let's do it." As he circled the bases We sat and said "wow!" To the New York fans, "Who's your papi now?" Game five was upon us, Fourteen innings it went, We knew it would be close And the bullpen was spent. More rapid than eagles, his pitchers they came, He whistled and shouted and called them by name. "Now Timlin, now Embree, now Bronson and D-Lowe. On Foulke, on Myers, on Curt and Pedro. To the top of the hill! To the end of the game! Now one away, two away, three away all!" And then in the clutch I heard from the crowd The cheering an clapping as they got loud. As Ortiz held his bat and he spun it around, Down came Johnny Damon from third with a bound. Onto game six with the Sox fans' applause, Schill's sock was all bloody with stitches and gauze. The bundle of Sox hopes he flung on his back, He looked like the Old Curt, ready to attack. His splitter how it dropped! His curve how it tricked! His change-up was nasty, his fastball so quick! Bellhorn's droll little bat was quiet all week, Until he stepped to the plate and took Lieber deep. With the slap at Bronson, A-Rod showed he's a cheater, Along with Sheffield, Matsui, and Jeter. Francona spoke very little about who would pitch, He filled out his line-up card without a hitch. He knows his team will give it their all, And in the end the Yankees will fall. From the dugout, our team will spring, how sweet will be the final swing. We'll hear them exclaim as they come back to town, "Who's up next? You're going down!" |
VERY NICE!
