#2 shawn (Reply)Hah. I just saw this poem on Sonsofsamhorm.net:
The outlook is more brilliant for the Beantown nine today,
59 games remaining; the big distraction gone away.
And when Orlando homered first, and Manny did the same,
Nomar's off in Chi-town, where no one knows his name.
A straggling few bemoaned the move in utter deep despair.
The rest clung to that hope which springs eternal in the human breast.
They thought, "we've got a better chance to go and grab that slippery crown.
We'd put up even money now with Nomar out of town."
So Nomar left the Metrodome, his anger in his craw,
And Theo answered questions, shipping west the "fatal flaw."
He hugged some teammates and told some lies; his phony smile on.
But when he wandered out the door, that pesky limp was gone.
Yes, Nomar told the Red Sox he would need some more DL,
While Arn Tellem assured the Cubbies what Nomar would not tell.
That he mailed it in; he punched the clock; he stuck it to us all;
He faked it plain and simple - just to hold his stats up tall.
There was a time we loved him; his glove, his bat, his name,
But his pouts, his moods, and his ego detracted from the game.
Many a time his throws went wide, or high, or low, or far;
And all too often he thumbed his nose at exactly who we are.
He'd tug his gloves and kick his toes and preen around the park;
He stewed all year about A-Rod, that they kept him "in the dark."
You could see it plain as day this year as he stepped into his place,
there was no pride in Nomar's bearing and no smile upon his face.
He couldn't do it anymore; he couldn't live with us;
His contract would soon be over, we just weren't worth the fuss.
So he picked and chose the days when he felt like he would play,
He hurt the team and shamed the game by carrying on that way.
I will not miss his me-first style or his locker room red line,
He can take that act to Wrigley, and climb those steps two feet at a time.
Thank you, Theo, for standing up and maintaining your clear sight;
You improved the team and made it better; you did what was right.
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright.
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light.
And, somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is great joy in Beantown --
Phony Nomar's been shipped out.Comment (1) - 02 08 2004
