... Pitching Troubles Seemed So Far Away
Now It Looks As Though They're Here to Stay
Now We Long for Yesterday

Penny Lane Leads to Breakdown | Tampa Rays 6, Boston 4
That Lazy Underachiever Penny Is What I Thought He Was, Sincerely Larry Bowa
Welcome Back J-Bay... So Long J-Bay
V-Mart Can't Do It All on Offense

Yesterday,
Pitching troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I bought in to trading Clay.

Suddenly,
Wakefield's half the man he used to be,
Penny's belly hanging over me,
Sox swept away, so suddenly.

Why he
Cannot throw I don't know, Dice wouldn't say.
Tito said,
Something's wrong, now we long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
This was such an easy game to play,
Now first place has slipped away,
Oh, I believed in Jason Bay.

Saito
Had to throw, Why? Don't know, what did Tito say?
I said,
Evan's going long, now we long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Boston stayed out of the steroid fray,
Now Papi needs a place to hide away,
Ortiz gets grilled, at 4 today.

When Smoltz takes the mound, it's time to pray.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
-- With apologies to Sir Paul
