Once in a Lifetime

And you may find yourself sitting with your bags all packed
And you may find yourself on another bus headed to Fresno
And you may find yourself in front of the kids instead of the men
And you may find yourself on a small field, with a small amount of talent
And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here?

Letting the days go by/Don't send Tim Lincecum down
Letting the days go by/Don't you send him out of town
Even the bullpen/once Russ's rehab's done
Once in a lifetime/Lincecum must stick around.

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that right field brick?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my home field!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my home team!

Letting the days go by/Don't send Tim Lincecum down
Letting the days go by/Don't you ship him out of town
Into the bullpen/or maybe trading Morris
Once in a lifetime/Lincecum must stick around

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Bullpen dissolving...and starter removing
There's our offense at the bottom of the ocean
Help our offense at the bottom of the ocean
Send Barry Zito to the bottom of the ocean!

Letting the days go by/Don't send Tim Lincecum down
Letting the days go by/Don't you ship him out of town
Into the bullpen/and a setup role for Mando
We will throw rocks and stones/we'll drive Sabean out of town

Letting the days go by/Don't send Tim Lincecum down
Letting the days go by/Don't you ship him out of town
Don't make that move again/This kid must be starting
Once in a lifetime/Lincecum must stick around

Sabean, you may ask yourself,
What is that move going to do?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?

Letting the days go by/Don't send Tim Lincecum down
Letting the days go by/Don't you ship him out of town
Even in the bullpen/and a setup role for Mando
Or else we'll throw rocks and stones/we'll drive Sabean out of town

Letting the days go by/Don't send Tim Lincecum down
Letting the days go by/Don't you ship him out of town
We'll kill the Blue Crew again/but not if Russ is starting
Once in a lifetime/Lincecum must stick around

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

(I felt...inspired. :P)

Oh my god, I am laughing so hard. This is the best part:

Bullpen dissolving...and starter removing
There's our offense at the bottom of the ocean
Help our offense at the bottom of the ocean
Send Barry Zito to the bottom of the ocean!

I can just hear David Byrne singing it. Dear God. :D

Re: And more
Yep, that was great. I can literally see David Byrne slapping himself in the head, the same way I would slap Sabean in the head if he sent Tim back to Fresno. It's obviously not happening though. Bochy said something about "talking" to Ortiz before he joins the team again next week. I would think they will ease the pain a little by giving him a prominent role in the bullpen though, not just long relief. They may even make him the eighth inning guy. Sorry Brad.

As a total biased Heads freak ...
this is one of the best posts in McC history. I just listened to the song and sang this over it. There's a bit at the end, how about "Tim isn't holding us, Tim isn't after us. Tim isn't holding us, Tim has no asterisk."  bwahaha.

Anyway. Excellent work. Thanks for the (literal) LOLs.

Re: Once in a Lifetime
I tried photoshopping Lincecum climbing over the back of a guitar-playing Russ Ortiz, both in white suits, but I lack the skillz.
