I read a poem today and started goofing around with the Gilligans Island theme song - Add a verse or two
My Ode to 2012 -
(Read to Gilligan's Island Theme Song)
Now sit right back and enjoy the tale
Of a team of with destiny
That started on a cold dark day
When Victor wrecked his knee, when Victor wrecked his knee
With V-mart hurt for many months,
The season it seemed lost,
Til Illitch said those magic words,
Sign Prince at any cost, sign Prince at any cost
So Fielder joined the Tigers Team,
First base is where he'd play,
And Miggy said he'd go to third,
But what would Brandon Say, but what would Brandon say
Inge tried his best at second base
But played it pretty badly
And fans they jeered the former great
And booed him somewhat sadly, and booed him somewhat sadly
Inge then got cut one afternoon
For me it was quite sad
And Delmon pulled his racist act
And everyone got mad, and everyone got mad
A drunken Young is quite the fool
His ass went right to jail
Poor David D was forced again
To post a players bail, to post a players bail
Strained obliques a word that we all learned
It happened to Doug Fister
Then Smyley fell for something dumb
An ugly big old blister, An ugly big old blister
Though many problems faced the boys,
Through out an awful week
The worst was Austins words they heard
Another strained oblique; another strained oblique
This story had a sunny side
Though we were all quite wary
The Tiger they replaced him with?
A guy named Quinton Berry, A guy named Quinton Berry
Q, he had been on the farm
For more than 7 years
The first time up he got a hit
And calmed our many fears, and calmed our many fears
The All Star game was quite the show
JV he took the Mound
As starter we all new he'd win
The N L they would pound, the N L they would pound
It did not happen quite that way
Our boy got smacked a bit
And Miggy was just average
But Prince he was a hit, But Prince he was a hit
The season at its half way point
The team not at it's best
The offense it was strugg a ling
The bull pen was a mess; the bull pen was a mess
The trade deadline was almost here
And everyone just knew
That David D would make a trade
The season wasn't through, the season wasn't through
Aniball and Omar were
The guys that came our way
They started slow but found their mark
And really came to play, and really came to play
Miggy was the star all year
Long Homers he hit out
But geeks could only tell us all
About this guy name Trout, about this guy name Trout
He had a better year they'd say
WAR is the reason why
But I say Triple Crown means more
I'll say it till I die; I'll say it till I die
We caught the Sox, then passed them by
And CRAM IT HAWK we scream
The play offs in Detroit again
We love our favorite team, we love our favorite team
Through all the ups and downs this year
The Sadness and the Joys
My favorite place to vent and rant
This place called Bless You Boys, This site called Bless You Boys
And I'll be there through out the game
To watch the Tigers win
JVs the best, there's just no way
The A's will win again, The A's will win again
And if by chance the Tigers lose
The season will be done
But bottom line I'll say it loud
2012's been fun, 2012's been funI'
