Hard Habit To Break - Chicago
"Stuck in the Middle" by Stealer's Wheel
Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right, (the attitude of a lot of Reds fans)
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, (the pitching staff)
here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do,
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place, (the pitching staff this month)
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
Well you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man, (Mr. Lindner)
And your friends, they all come crawlin, (we the fans)
Slap you on the back and say,
Please.... Please..... ("please spring for some starting pitching, Mr. Lindner")
Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor,
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
Well you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please.... Please.....

Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you,
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,
Stuck in the middle with you. (the middle of the NL Central, that is)

I'm heaven sent,
don't you dare forget
I am all you've ever wanted,
what all the other boys all promised
Sorry I told
I just needed you to know
I think in decimals and dollars
I am the cause to all your problems
Shelter from cold
We are never alone
Coordinate brain and mouth
Then ask me what it's like to have myself so figured out
I wish I knew
I hope this songs starts a craze,
the kind of song that ignites the airways
The kind of song that makes people glad to be where they are
with who ever they're there with
This is war
Every line is about who I don't write about anymore
Hope you come down with something they can't diagnose,
don't have the cure for
Holding on to your grudge
Oh it's so hard to have someone to love
Keeping quiet is hard
'Cause you can't keep a secret if it never was a secret to start
At least pretend you didn't wanna get caught
We're consentratin' on fallin' apart
We were contenders, now throwin' the fight
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe in us
Oh we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial
We are entirely smooth
We fit to the truth
We are the best at what we do
And these are the words you wish you wrote down
This is the way you wish your voice sounds,
handsome and smart
Oh, my tongue's the only muscle on my body that works harder than my heart
And it's all from watching TV
and from speeding up my breathing
Wouldn't stop if I could
Oh it hurts to be this good
You're holding on to your grudge
Oh it hurts to always have to be honest with the one that you love
Oh so let it go
We're consentratin' on fallin' apart
We were contenders, now throwin' the fight
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe in us
We're consentratin' on fallin' apart
We were contenders, now throwin' the fight
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe in us
This is the craze only we can bestow
This is the price you pay for loss of control
This is the break in the ground
This is the closest of calls
This is the reason you're alone, this is the reason you fall!
We're consentratin' on fallin' apart
We were contenders, now throwin' the fight
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe...
We're consentratin' on fallin' apart
We were contenders, now throwin' the fight
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe in us

"Oh Lord, What Are You Doing to Me?" by Dionne Warwick
Hey Johnny, you beat me to Stuck In The Middle. My thoughts exactly. Except my version would be by The Ranch. Now I'll go with Clutterbilly by The Ranch. I don't know why, it just sounds appropriate.
For the Bullpen: Give it away, give it away, give it away now.....

Pitching to Contact Today
With apologies to Otis Redding and Steve Cropper
Sitting with a hotdog and bun
Know I'll be angry when the first inning comes.
Watching pitches roll in
And I watch 'em fly away again, yeah.
(Chorus)
Well they’re pitching to contact today
Feeling the game slowly slip away.
But they’re still pitching to contact today
Wasting time.
Slow fastball heading towards ya’
Then headed out Right Field way
'Cause they’ve got no stuff to pitch for
And pitchers with no stuff gotta pay.
So they’re just...(repeat chorus)
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
They can’t win throwing how people want them to do
So I guess they’ll remain the same.
Now pitcher’s sittin there resting his bones
Home run whiplash won't leave him alone
Eighty six pitches he’s thrown
Just to make a five-plus ERA his home
Now, they’re just...(repeat chorus)
"The problem with strikeouts isn't that they hurt your team, it's that they hurt your feelings..." --Rob Neyer
"The single most important thing for a hitter is to get a good pitch to hit. A good hitter can hit a pitch that’s over the plate three times better than a great hitter with a ball in a tough spot.”
--Ted Williams
