Hey, Mother Nature... (I am a loser...)

*You are about to be let in on a little secret- my dorky habit of making up new words to songs. Most of the time it's in my car and I make the words about how cute I think Pete's butt is, but in this case, I was inspired...)


"Hey, Mother Nature..."
(to the tune of Hey There, Delilah by the Plain White T's)

Hey, Mother Nature
Sayin' hi from here in Philly
You rained out our Fightin' Phils last night
I bet you feel so silly
Yes it's true
Bud Selig just can't bend to you
I know it's true

Game 5 got rained out
With the score tied 2-2
We're mad at Selig, and the MLB
And kind of mad at you
It's just because
We're Philly fans- we threw snowballs
At Santa Clause

Oh, can't you please stop the rain
Oh, we'll play Game 5 again!
Oh, it really is a sin
The Phils must have their chance to win
6th inning? We'll tune in...

Hey, Mother Nature
We just could not change the channel
Game was played on in a downpour
And we wasted poor Cole Hamels
Now he can't play
Even if the Phil's go all the way
But not today

Hey Mother Nature
Our poor fan sat out in poncho's
A line drive slipped through J. Roll's fingers
So thanks to the head honcho's
Who let 'em play
Now our win's so close
Yet faraway
Maybe today

Oh, please be our hero
Oh, no damp Victorino
Oh, I know the Phils will win
Oh, if they can just get Game 5 in

In other towns they laugh at us
Is it the curse of ol' Lindros
It seems a real big win won't come our way
Then Game 5 came, we're on the cusp
But then rain fell and messed it up
Oh will this soggy madness go away
I have to say...

This rain must stop
But we don't know just how or when
Now, should we be pissed of at you
Or are we mad at William Penn
It just don't fly
When you try to rain out Game 5
That's not a lie

Oh, let nature takes its course
Oh, The Phils will win, of course
Oh, and when the rain subsides
There'll be victory off 95
Oh that you can't deny

Go PHILS!!!
You are quite the talented one, Miss Brie!!
Unfortunately, we will have to wait until tomorrow night!!
I have NO DOUBT we'll win, but why must it take sooooo long to get there?
At least we have first & last at bat and only 3½ innings to play. Now if only we could find a way for Cole Hamels to play!!
Oh well!
