An Ode to our Staplehead

This one has been waiting for both Dale to do something good and for us to win the game: the hit song STAPLEHEAD!

My friends and I always argue if this should be considered from the album Bona Drag Bunt or Viva Hatte.

original lyrics here

Why do you play here?

And why why don’t you hit more?

I’m so sorry

I’m so sorry

Why are you still here

When you know it makes things hard for us?

Why won’t you go, oh

Down to Sacto?

Why do you swing and miss?

And why look at called strike threes?

I’m so sorry

I’m so sorry

Why are you still here

When you know it makes things hard for us?

Why won’t you go, oh

Down to Sacto?

You had to go Safeco field

‘just’ to hit a big homerun

It was just the same, just the same

Daric we used to know in late ‘07

Oh, so many blasts and big base hits but

I’m so very sickened,

Oh I am so sick of ’08.

Here’s to '09, '09

Here’s to '09, '09

Here’s to '09, '09 oh yeah….
