Nine and a half back on June twenty two
Dodger fans singin the last-place blues
#FireMattingly trends every day
Time to trade Kemp, it’s already May
Too many people actin like quitters
Instead of embracing what I was preaching on twitter
Collarbones, hammys and shoulders galore
Forced us to play guys with negative WAR
I said “Wait for the lineup to finally click!”
These “fans” kept hating, making me sick
So I got off the web and tried to ignore,
But had to peek every batter or four
I changed my bio to a simple claim,
After the team’s 50th bad game
“See y’all at the West title party”
The jeers were loud, and the laughs were hearty
Then a godsend from Cuba got the call,
And Hanley recovered and stopped our fall
Dre started swingin, Jazz Hands too
And luck started turnin for Dodger Blue
Everyone surprised at the run they made
Except for the few who knew they could play
Kershaw making a historic run,
Greinke and Ryu and Ricky stun
Paco and Kenley lock it down,
While Crawford and Ellis continue to pound
9 and a half back on June 22
From worst to first goes Dodger Blue
Now it’s official, it’s finally here
The division is ours, playoffs are near
So to every single fan who stuck it out
Stand for Vin and give it a a shout:
“We at the West party there was never a doubt!”
To the fair weather fans who nearly gave up
Grab a drink and lift your cup
Take this as a lesson to NEVER give up
Sarcastically asking every day
If I “got World Series tickets? They can’t even play!”
Yes, I do, as a matter of fact
You should too, despite the faith you lacked
So even if you were negative all spring
Let’s cheers our beers and drink and sing
Raise your glass for a toast, I say
As we celebrate an awesome, glorious, happy #ClinchDay
To the team we all love
That came back from the dead
Made the #DodgerFam proud
And their opponents dread
Here’s to the Dodgers, our NL West champs,
Their march to October and a World Series chance.
