Suggestions for a new 7th inning stretch song?

by Ghost of Floyd Rayford on Sep 26, 2007 4:04 PM EDT

I feel crazier than a meth mouth from Dundalk every time I'm at the Yard and I have to hear John Denver warble in that plane-crashing voice of his. No wonder there's no respect for the proud Oriole in this man's league. "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" is the aural equivalent of an icepick to the nuts here in 2007. Below are my suggestions for the all new, smoke-'em-if-ya-got-'em, seventh-inning-stretch theme song for 2008 at CYAOP...

Given the choices, I voted for Orioles Tragic--

but that was, as Earl Hofert puts it, "merely faute de mieux." I like the blues idea, though, and could definitely go for some Blind Boy Grunt, say.

The best place to spend the worst home losing streak since 1953 is on a beach in Spain.

re:

If the team bothered to start winning again, they could probably change the song without too much push back. New tunes for new times. Right now, there may be a bit of nostalgia and Country Boy gets people to think, "yeah, I remember when the team was a winner and not a perennial f'ing embarrassment".
