Working backwards, first one. I had seen Elvis Costello a few weeks ago and this song was in my head when I heard DR was traded. Here you go. Oh it's so funny to be traded after this long, man. And with the way you look I understand That you had tried your best Once it was clear the trumpets wouldn't play this year This team became a mess. I'm not going to get too sentimental Like those other Bobby valentines, 'Cause you were just another tradeable asset And so now it was just your time. Robertson, I know this team was killing you. Oh, Robertson, you looked good in blue.

Here's a Max song. I have had fun doing this, don't mind me. Well that's no good, the Mets are bad, the Trade Deadline will make you sad So Max is gone, yeah Max is gone. 'Cause there's not much left to say about The money spent but there's no doubting Max is gone, yeah Max is gone. When the Mets never seem to be livin up to your dreams He's traded to the AL West Max Scherzer's gone to Texas and for who? Who-oo-oo-oo It takes more wins to get it right, And those are the facts of life.

Of course I have a Canha song. One of my favorites to watch even if he just didn't have a great year this year. Class act. Wise men play Baseball games to win But he Canha help The Mets don't need him to Make him stay? What good would that do? Cause he Canha help The Mets don't need him to Like a river flows Surely to the sea Darling, so it goes Some things, you know, are meant to be Eat, Mark, eat There is new food to chew Cause you Canha help The Mets don't need you to Cause he Canha help The Mets don't need him to

I got a Verlander song too. I wrote this one when I woke up this morning. Can you hear the cheers, Verlander? I remember long ago another sunny day like this Out the dugout comes Verlander It was May you came off the IL and hope was running high Then we know the team crashed hard And Billy Eppler wouldn't let this moment pass him by There was something in the air that night You did us right, Verlander Oh Steve opened up his wallet wide We know you tried, Verlander Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret Yes we will see you once again In the visitors' pen, Verlander Oh you will strike our batters out We have no doubt, Verlander

Here's my Leone-got-traded song. Does he deserve one? Eh? But here it is. Billy Eppler works for the baseball team Savin' his pennies for someday Dominic Leone left a note on the door He said "Gone to Cali, where it's sunny." Workin' for these Mets gives you A heart attack (ack, ack, ack, ack, ack) You oughta know by now (oughta know) Who needs to mop up that bullpen Is that what Steve gets for his money? It seems such a waste of time If that's what it's all about Mama if that's movin' up Then he's movin' out

New here, thanks Edgy MD. I've written a parody song for each of the deadline-traded Mets. Here's my Tommy Pham entry. Who can take a fastball Mash it to left field Steal a couple bases and he'll make a highlight reel? It's Tommy Pham Oh, the Tommy Pham can The Tommy Pham can and he makes the crowd show love He shows his play is good Who should be playing elsewhere? Cause he doesn't need to be On this farkakte team a playoff game will never see It's Tommy Pham Oh, the Tommy Pham can The Tommy Pham can and he makes the crowd show love But this team doesn't play good The hitters don't rake, baserunning mistakes Trade deadline is so auspicious Talk about your playoff wishes Hot stove will cook those dishes So now he's gone to Phoenix 'Cause that's not Flushing Queens It's nothing really personal And he knows what that means It's Tommy Pham Oh, the Tommy Pham can The Tommy Pham will make the Diamondbacks win Cause these Mets don't play good
