Here’s to You, David Robertson

by David Bellel

We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files
We’d like to help you get more teammates like yourself
Look around you, all you see are ineffective guys
Stay around and keep the opposition from getting home

And here’s to you, David Robertson
The Yankees love you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, David Robertson
Heaven holds a place for those who save
(Hey, hey, hey…hey, hey, hey)

Keep throwing strike outs so no one ever goes
Put them in their place when it calls for high stakes
It’s your little secret, your Robertson-like flair
Most of all, you’ve got us off the skids

Coo, coo, ca-choo, David Robertson
The Yankees love you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, David Robertson
Heaven holds a place for those who save
(Hey, hey, hey…hey, hey, hey)

You’ll find David posting with the rest of Yankee stalwarts over at It Is High, It Is Far, It Is….Caught.

Derek Sends Us Reaching For The Bottle

by David Bellel

RIP Gil-Scott Heron

See that half black boy over there, runnin’ scared
His baseball game just goes half-throttle
He done quit getting high fives to choke full time
So now his fans are living in the bottle

See that half black boy over there, runnin’ scared
His baseball game just goes half-throttle
This ol’ man has got a problem
Can’t do hardly anything,
Minka won’t get a wedding ring but a bottle.

And don’t you think it’s a crime
When time after time, our old heroes send us reaching for the bottle
Living in a bottle

See that half brotha he was so fine before he
Stared to decline
While his fans hit the bottle
Last time he was fine was in 2009
and now he’s just markin’ time,
While his fans hit the bottle.
