And now, a brief musical interlude
Something to take your minds off the M's current losing streak. This little ditty is sung to the tune of "Unanswered Prayers" by Garth Brooks...
"Unpurchased Players"
Just the other night, at the Giants baseball game
The other pitcher sucked so bad, their fans were all ashamed
And as I watched them losing, the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things could have been
Barry was the pitcher that GM Bill thought was so fine
And each night Bill spent improving an offer for him to sign
And if he'd only sign up for five or six long years
We'd have the missing piece and finally win the World Series
Sometimes I thank Bill for unpurchased players
Remember when you're judging the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't spend doesn't mean he don't care
Some of Bill's greatest moves are unpurchased players
Zito wasn't near the pitcher that he had been back in the past
His curveball wasn't breaking and his fastball wasn't fast
He tried to throw it like the old days
But each rare strike went o'er the wall
I guess Bavasi knows what he's doin' after all
And as he got yanked early I thought of GM Bill
And then and there I thanked him that
Our best try was 90 mill
Sometimes I thank Bill for unpurchased players
Remember when you're judging the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't spend doesn't mean he don't care
Some of Bill's greatest moves have been unpurchased players
Some of Bill's greatest moves are all too often unpurchased...
Sadly, some of Bill's greatest moves are unpurchased players
