Why 2016 Almost Was and Never Was the Year of the Houston Astros
Sung to the George Gershwin Tune of ….
“It Ain’t Necessarily So”
It ain’t necessarily so
It ain’t necessarily so
The things that spell liable – in baseball’s root bible
They ain’t necessarily so
Little Jose is small – but oh my
Little Jose is small – but oh my
He slew old Goliath – the pitching ace dieth
Little Jose is small – but oh my
He’s the one with – the batting champ eye
Evan Gattis hits hard – like a whale
Evan Gattis hits hard – like a whale
He first made his home in – the DH abdomen
Evan Gattis hits hard – like a whale
When he misses – it’s always a bale
Senor Carlos is tall – he can fly
Senor Carlos is tall – he can fly
Run or throw, field – or hittin’
This cat ain’t no kitten
Senor Carlos is tall – as the sky
Georgie Springer’s got game – so it seems
Georgie Springer’s got game – so it seems
When he plays like he ought-er – he hits the ball harder
Georgie Springer’s still building up steam
On his way to fulfilling – our dream
Dallas Keuchel pitched great – won the Cy
Dallas Keuchel pitched great – won the Cy
This year he turned over – like an aging Land Rover
And he fell on his sword – with a sigh
As we kiss our sweet pennant – goodbye
We could go through – the whole – GD roster
But Bad habits- for certain – we’d foster
We don’t blame the players – for layers and layers
To explain why our team’s – an imposter
Too little – too late – says it faster.
