It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday

How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The fake news that made us laugh
And talking smack.
I thought we'd get to see the playoffs
But we lost that hope back in May
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
I don't know where this road
Will lead other teams
All I know is what I've seen
When we've played St. Louis.
They may get to play tomorrow
But I wouldn't bet on next Thursday
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And I'll take with me the memory
That the Cards are turning old and gray
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And I'll take joy in the memory
That I can watch Randa beat them as a Padre
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
- Apologies to BoyzIIMen. And to Bellyscratcher for rooting for the Cardinals.
Blogger’s down, so I can’t post anything. I’m here for the duration.
It’s very early.
What the heck is up with Blogger? Are you so incredibly popular that you take down the whole network?
Any luck with the lottery?
I tried to write a post and blogger said it was down for maintenance. Course it was pm times, so I don’t know.
I haven’t checked my tickets yet.
They’re doing all that schmaltzy saying goodbye to Busch stuff. It’s failing to bring a tear to my eye, but I am kind of an outsider.
I’m about to bawl.
There’s so much going on. Phillies, Astros, Indians, Red Sox all trying to get in, and they’re all playing right now. My head is spinning.
Wow, 1-2-3 in the bottom of the first. I think your boys are a little distracted by all the festivities.
I think Selig is distracting them.
Javy knocks in Kearns for the early lead. Javy rocks.
Why Matty’s in the postseason rotation over either Marquis or Suppan I have no idea.
For the lower expectations?
Holbert knocks in Javy to add to the early lead.
Holbert?
And now he’s on along with the Pickle Man. Seriously, what’s up with your team?
Maybe so the other team feel like they might have a chance.
Thank you 2nd base bag!
I seriously doubt the Reds care whether they have a chance. I imagine they’re mostly looking to get it over with and go home.
They aren’t going to get to go home any faster if they can’t stop all this hitting, though.
Doesn’t it seem like you’ve faced Claussen an awful lot this season?
Yeah, it does. This is at least the third time.
I bet the Padres think they have a chance. Ugh. I hate the playoffs.
Go Felipe!
Go Dunner!
(just two at-bats too late, but still)
Go Kearns!
Oh
My
God
Matt, you are terrible.
He’s just letting the Reds feel like they have a chance. All the other teams in the postseason, too.
I’m really going to cry now.
This is my concern; the Reds need to get pitching in the off-season, but I’m afraid there isn’t any pitching to get. Even the mighty Cardinals have a couple real stinkers in the rotation.
Ah, Little Reyes. Soothing.
Morris’ surgery only lasted half a year, he’s back to 2004 Morris. He’s a free agent, let someone else sign him. Please.

I liked it better when Morris was pitching. These other guys apparently didn’t get the memo about letting the Reds feel like they have a chance.
Boo Sanders.
Claussen, pull it together, dammit.
Boo Duncan.
Duncan? Really??
Yay Sanders.
CHRIS DUNCAN!

First HR for the pitching coach’s kid. I’ve never seen Dave smile until today.

I’d missed an "e" before, so I’ve added it now.
Whew, for a minute there, I thought your boys were going to match the back-to-back-to-back feat. Thanks, Grudzy!

D’oh! Note to self: choose phrases with no Bs!
