Opening Day ditty

Here's a more musical take on last night's game, with apologies to Neil Diamond:

Season began, it was on Easter Sunday
on national TV it was shown
Fenway was full, it was another sellout
Anticipation, it had grown…

Runs…Let’s score runs…Let’s pitch well…Let us win!

Chorus
Red Sox scored nine! (Whoa-oh-oh)
New York Yankees, they went down (Went down! Went down! Went down!)
The local nine (Whoa-oh-oh)
They were the toast of old Beantown

Beckett got rocked
Didn’t get his five innings
It was a rough beginning, but
CC got chased,
Gave up five runs too
Bullpens were driving both sides nuts

Back…Back and forth…Went the score…Of the game!

Chorus

Pedey went deep
Youk hit three extra-base hits
The Red Sox newbies chipped in too
Papelbon got
His first save of the season
He was the Paps we always knew

Win…Red Sox win…Yankees lose…at Fenway!

Chorus

Hope you enjoyed! LET’S GO RED SOX!!!!!
