I like the random selection of subjects; don't overthink it, just let it fly. It's a much better challenge to write a good song about Rich Becker. ("What rhymes with 'strikeout'?")
I think you have to do it one song at a time; it's one loss and you're out. No reason to save your ace for Game 2 when there's no guarantee that there will be a Game 2.
Yeah, sharpie's got a good point. By the time I get to the championship -- which I plan to do this year -- I'm lyrically spent. I thought "Estes' Lament" was Songwriters Hall of Fame-worthy, but the rest of the stuff I did got progressively worse.

It's going to be hard to top "Rogers Parties with the Mets in Chicago and Then Gets Thrown Out and Tackled by his Cousin." Which would be a great title for an old Waylon Jennings tune.
I'm happy going into the season with Jamon Castrada behind the plate. Good deal, especially considering they gave up nothing. And it's only a year. See ya, Mota.
Four years, $25 million is reasonable enough that he'll be cuttable in two years if they don't get what they need out of him. I like the deal. Welcome back, Luis.
See ya, sucka. Looking forward to lighting him up four or five times this year. How great is this? Brad Lidge and Tom Glavine are the two key pitchers added to our two biggest rivals! Nice.
