Ironically, its one of the few songs I know all the words to. Frenchy should just tattoo the lyrics on his back or something.

Burnett has led the league in WPs twice, so his leading the league ain’t much of a surprise.
Juan Pierre has looked lousy in the field, too. If speed is your only tool, losing a step is pretty critical.

In The Best Shape Of His Life.
Working On A New Pitch.
Found A Flaw In His Mechanics
Gonna Be More Aggressive On The Basepaths, But Smart
Gritty, Gutty, Athletic, A Natural Athlete
Finally Over All Of The Nagging Injuries
Poised For A Breakout Season

did I miss any?

By July he’ll have moved into their living room sofa bed, sitting around in 3 day old BVDs and yellin’ for another beer.
But he’ll park his ’69 Nova SS behind the convenience store, freshen up in the restroom, and impress the hell out of you for the interview.

You heard it here first (and last).
