Here is the latest in what may seem like a never-ending series of monthly report cards for the
Blue Jays. Enjoy (or, at least, tolerate).
  
  
  
 
  
  
     The future's uncertain
and the end is always near
  
  
  
 
  
  
     Comes out of the Virginia swamps 
Cool and slow with plenty of precision 
With a back beat narrow and hard to master 
  
  
  
 
  
  
     Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away

     Now you swear and kick and beg us
that you're not a gambling man
Then you find you're back in Vegas
with the handle in your hand

     I'll cop out to the change,
    but a stranger
        is putting the tease on.
  
  
  
 
  
  
     She said "you don't understand what I said"
I said "No no no, you're wrong
When I was a boy, everything was right
  
  
  
 
  
  
     I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while

|     | The results of the current poll can be interpreted pretty clearly.
In fact, those interpretations can even be set to music. 
With apologies to the legendary Alice Cooper (for whom the city of
Cooperstown was most assuredly not named), we now present the new
anthem of the 2005 Blue Jays. Crank it up to 11, put the speakers in

     Lately it occurs to me
What a long, strange trip it's been
  
  
  
 
  
  
     Now lightning strikes in old New York
It may be dark but I wanna talk
  
  
  
 
  
  
     Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. 
  
  
  
 
  
  
     Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers,
trumpets, towers and tenements
wide oceans full of tears
flags, rags, ferryboats, scimitars and scarves
every precious dream and vision underneath the stars

     New York is waiting for you and me, baby
Waiting to swallow us down
New York, we're coming to see what you're made of
Are you as great as you sound?
It's not often a team finds itself down by 15 runs....
  
 
  
  
 
  
  
     I am starting to function
In the usual way
Everything is so provocative 
Very, very temporary
