Boulevard of Broken Teams (apologies to Green Day)

Boulevard of Broken Teams

I trade on a lonely road
The only one the Riptorns have ever known
But things are just not working out,
And I look at my team and I trade alone

Now I walk down this empty road
The Boulevard of Broken Teams
I wish I could get back in it,
But I need a trade and look!  I trade alone

I trade alone
I trade alone
I trade alone
I trade alone

My usual M-O may not work,
Its always worked for me in the past
I load up on Jeffrey?s guys
then I trade em back over the phone
But I already did my Berliner deal,
And now its only me, and I trade alone

I look down at the OnRoto site
And my team sits proudly at four score
That should have been enough to win
But every night the Bombers? lead grows more
And to make matters worse, its only me and I trade alone

I trade alone
I trade alone
I trade alone
I trade alone

I try to look for ways around the rules,
But Klein is there to stop my in my tracks,
Thank goodness I unloaded Vlad
Or my team would really show its cracks

My 0-9 title hopes were dashed
The minute Blocker turned his beans into cash
Sometimes I wish I could change the rules,
But I?d rather have a Cuban with five tools,
When it comes right down to it,
My problem is I trade alone

I trade alone
I trade alone
I trade alone
I trade alone

Mark, you rock! Or did you order an associate to write it? This one
belongs in the archives and I suggest we stage a musical with all
these tunes at year’s end. Maybe we can get Jeffrey to play William F.
Buckley….

Wow. First, Mark starts playing roto like Brad by turning his magic
beans into a roster full of stars. Now, he’s writing emails that sound
like Brad! As Mark cruises to toward The Wieters, I suggest that we
change his team name. No longer is it “Block’s Bombers”. From here on
out, I will refer to his squad as “The Little Rippers.”

That is all.

I’m flattered.
