To celebrate Bruce Springsteen’s hot new single (download it for free on
iTunes!) and his return trip to Chicago (and you know Gams will buy tix to
see him with his USML prize money), I hereby reissue Wire to Wire, every bit
as meaningful now as it was back in May, when our hearts were pure and
Klein remained at bay…..
…to the tune of Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire”…..
Hey little Jeffrey leave your prospects home
No matter that you got Brad Lee all alone
Take your mags–and build a funeral pyre
Oh-Oh-Oh I’m wire to wire
You traded Liriano and Zumaya, too
Call in Mr. T cos you’re the fool
Go move Hughes–if you so desire
Oh-Oh-Oh I’m wire to wire
Tell me now Andy is Drew good for you
Can he do the things Dukes used to do
Stuck in second–and you’ll get no higher
No-No-No I’m wire to wire
Sometimes this League needs a season baby
Empty and dull
Who needs any dump trades
To bother this lull?
At night I wake up with my stats soaking wet
And there’s Johnny Damon running right through my head
My rout is complete–and it’s entire
Whoa-Ho-Ho I’m wire to wire
