KTE: The Braves Yet Again

[G-Fafif]

We meet our old rival
At the Ted tonight
They seem to be in first place
By a mile

And I think about those old times
And I cringe from ancient fears
Still hate them after all these years...oh
Still hate them after all these years

They�ve got Brian McCann
Who gets all those big hits
And then they went and
Added Derek Lee

Heyward, Prado and Infante...
We might cry in our beers
Still hate them after all these years...oh
Still hate them after all these years

They�ve Jair Jurrjens
And Hanson
Hudson
Blowing our guys away

Frenchy, Acosta
Mike Hessman...
They used to be Braves

Now I sit by my TV
And I curse Billy
I�m sure Wagner will strike out
David Wright
Cox can�t retire soon enough
Eject him if he leers

Still hate them
Still hate them
Still hate them after all these years

Bravo!

I know it's a tall order, but if they sweep the Braves...

[Guest themetfairy]

Excellent work G-Fafif!

Six behind Atlanta with 28 to go, the Phillies possibly in first place by then.

[Guest Edgy DC]

One day at a time, Sweet Jesus Alou.

[G-Fafif]

Jesus Feliciano demands to be the "Jesus" of record.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Seriously, Jesus, one day at a time.

[MFS62]

And a song by someone who went to Queens College, just a few miles from Citifield.
Well done.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Elegant, and entirely too accurate.

[Zvon]

Awesome.
I'm gonna grab my guitar and play your version.

Update: Jeff Francoeur is no longer a Met who used to be a Brave.

But FWIW, Henry Blanco still is.
