Of late there is a great deal of complaining about ‘pouring it on’ when one team has built a substantial lead. So how much is enough? Each team gets 27 outs. So quit whining and ‘PLAY BALL’.
UNWRITTEN RULES
There’s a reason they’re called - the ‘Unwritten Rules’
They were made by whiners - and losers and fools
No crying in baseball - that’s rule number one
So suck it up big boy - try scoring more runs
There’s some to be followed - one could make a case
No first or third out - should be made at third base
Or when taking the field - don’t step on the line
When you look at strike three - time to go grab some pine
It ain’t over till it’s over - this much is true
Some days you get the bear - some days he gets you
So don’t bitch and moan - when it don’t go your way
Grab the lumber and leather - get out there and play
Commissioner Man-fart’s - perverting the game
He’s rewriting rules - man it just ain’t the same
Ghost runners and time clocks - universal DH
Perhaps crying FOR baseball - does have a place
There’s a reason they’re called - the ‘Unwritten Rules’
They were made by whiners - and losers and fools
No crying in baseball - that’s rule number one
So suck it up big boy - try scoring more runs
