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.

    No, it’s not a famous phrase or anything. It’s a question to answer once all the blanks are filled in.

    I’d missed an r before too. Sorry.

    What do you call the part of the e–i-e that reduces air to the carburetor?

    You’re getting very close.

  14. What do you call the part of the engine that reduces air to the carburetor?

    The CHOKE?

  15. Red Hot Mama says:

    DING DING DING!! You are correct!

    Good word for Cardinal fans to be familiar with. 😀

  16. I wouldn’t have known it based on my knowledge of cars, but I knew what it had to be. Very good.

    I’ll do a short one.

    I’m so pleased to see Freel improving on getting the ball in. Is there anything that guy can’t do?

    Wow, Denorfia was out before GameDay even had a chance to update.

    This is embarrassing. I’m still stuck.

  29. Red Hot Mama says:

    Dammit, Freel. Looking at strike three is Dunn’s job, not yours!

    You’ll get it here.

  31. Red Hot Mama says:

    See what I mean, Freel? Dunn’s got it taken care of.

  32. Ugh. The Cardinal announcers said a bad word. "Ankiel"

  33. Meet the new LOOGY, better than the old LOOGY.

  34. Red Hot Mama says:

    I would have guessed:
    "Which is the best team in the game?"

    except I already guessed S and I, so instead I’ll go with:
    "Which is the pert team of the lame?"

    To which I would answer your Cards. They are lame, but surprisingly pert.

  35. Shit, I screwed up. I kept copy-and-pasting. You were right the first time.

  36. Red Hot Mama says:

    Eh, it’s all good. You’re just playing a very good straightman. I’m lucky to have you.

    So, what do you think? You worried about your boys going up against SD? Sure, they’ve swept the Reds, but they’ve been less-than-dominant.

  37. Ok, new one.
