All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep, then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore

One more weekend.

And the neon when it's cold outside
And the highway when it's late at night
Got the radio on

There, there. It will all be over soon.

Mr. President, Mr. Immigration Man
Let me in, sweetie, to your fair land
I’m Tampa bound, and Memphis too
Short Fat Fanny is on the loose

One last road series, and then homeward bound. To play out the string.

You can teach me lots of lessons
You can bring me lots of gold
But you just can't live in Texas
If you don't have lots of soul

The Rangers didn't expect to be playing out the string, either. But here we are.

The night was clear
And the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down

The other guys are playing out the string, too. They may not have admitted it yet.

Keeping up appearances
Keeping up the pretense is
All that's really left for us

Playing out the string, continued

I said watchin' them planes
I wish I was on one
I'm sittin' here thinking 'bout my crazy dream

Playing out the string, continued.

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began

Playing out the string....

Time for decisions to be made
Crack up in the sun
Lose it in the shade

Off to the Twin Cities.

Four games in Fenway, plus The Danny Jansen Game!

A blink ago we were back in school
Smoking by the gym door
Practicing our rock star attitudes

And now we're going down.

They said, Joey did this and Joey did that
Oh, that guy was crazy, what a crazy cat
Then something strange would happen, there's trouble on the way
And trouble only means one thing
Joey's on the street again

Joey really ought to be involved in these games, surely? Unfortunately, he's in the throes of a 2-26 slump in AAA, and it's hard to see this having anything resembling a happy ending.

Now one and one is two
Two and two is four
I'm heavy loaded, baby
I'm booked, I gotta go

Once upon a time, kids, there was a third major league. The ball park where the Blue Jays will be spending the weekend must be among the last surviving bits of evidence.

Well, that's a filthy lie. The Blue Jays are not playing in the City of Angels tonight. They're not even playing in Los Angeles County.

Well, I spend all night with the dealer
Tryin' to get ahead
Spend all day at the Holiday Inn
Trying to get out of bed

Oakland has a bad team, but there are degrees of bad...
