(Violin introduction)
Yanks had a ride, didn't hit their stride
Losing to the Angels really hurt old George's pride
They got uptight, signed Jaret Wright
And ugly Randy Johnson who got lit up late one night.
And Crosby crashing into Shef did make Steinbrenner whine
And I think that he'll be hurting for a long long time
The last five years, Yankee fans in tears
Another lost post-season, and they're crying in their beer
They just refuse, to think their team can lose
Faceless front runners, with no soul to sing the blues
And Molina's three home runs did make Steinbrenner whine
And I think that he'll be bitter for a long long time
(Instrumental interlude)
Then came the day that they went away
A-Rod hitting in the ninth into a double play
They missed the ball, and they took the fall
Showing people once again that money can't cure all
The Yankee bullpen melting down did make Steinbrenner whine
And I think that he'll be angry for a long long time
The calls that went against Cano sure made Steinbrenner whine
And I think he'll need his Prozac for a long long time
(Violin fadeout)
October 14, 2005: It has now been five years since the Yankees won a World Series, with the Angels dashing their hopes in this year's AL Division Series. This Linda Ronstadt song sums up Mr. Steinbrenner's feelings. Unfortunately, I could not find a midi file to go with it.
