Keeping up appearances
Keeping up the pretense is
All that's really left for us
Playing out the string, continued
I said watchin' them planes
I wish I was on one
I'm sittin' here thinking 'bout my crazy dream
Playing out the string, continued.
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Playing out the string....
Time for decisions to be made
Crack up in the sun
Lose it in the shade
Off to the Twin Cities.
Four games in Fenway, plus The Danny Jansen Game!
A blink ago we were back in school
Smoking by the gym door
Practicing our rock star attitudes
And now we're going down.
They said, Joey did this and Joey did that
Oh, that guy was crazy, what a crazy cat
Then something strange would happen, there's trouble on the way
And trouble only means one thing
Joey's on the street again
Joey really ought to be involved in these games, surely? Unfortunately, he's in the throes of a 2-26 slump in AAA, and it's hard to see this having anything resembling a happy ending.
Now one and one is two
Two and two is four
I'm heavy loaded, baby
I'm booked, I gotta go
Once upon a time, kids, there was a third major league. The ball park where the Blue Jays will be spending the weekend must be among the last surviving bits of evidence.
Well, that's a filthy lie. The Blue Jays are not playing in the City of Angels tonight. They're not even playing in Los Angeles County.
Well, I spend all night with the dealer
Tryin' to get ahead
Spend all day at the Holiday Inn
Trying to get out of bed
Oakland has a bad team, but there are degrees of bad...
A homestand, featuring a good team, a bad team, and the Blue Jays. The Orioles, currently locked in a battle for the division lead with the Yankees, are up first.
New York is waiting for you and me, baby
Waiting to swallow us down
What's left of the 2024 Blue Jays will continue their road trip in the Bronx, where the Yankees are waiting. There could be carnage.
I'd like to ruffle his plumage
That Baltimore Oriole
Road trip! Beginning with a double-header against the division leaders.
We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse
It's the defending champs.
