These Little Town Blues
« Bitchin' Camaro | Main | Jocketty Traded For the Wrong Guy! »As the Cards finish up in New York, New York this afternoon, I thought you might enjoy some of the Big Apple's finest songwriting, courtesy of the Songs of Baseball. Check out Wake Up Little Redbirds which was penned after the Cards were down 3-0 in the WS to the Red Sox. Unfortunately you'll have to do the singing, as the music is just provided for accompaniment. Or try on your best Homer Simpson voice and let's all sing along to Fernando, "the ballad of a Dominican batter and a Korean pitcher." Oh, and until the Redbirds finally return home after 9 games on the road, we'll have to wait to hear Izzy step on the mound at Busch to Free by Vast. But here's the current list of at-bat/pitcher songs to get you pysched for a week against the Pirates and Nationals.

On a vaguely related note, the music they blare at Shea is crap. The only excuse for that synthesizer junk during the 6th inning is a reminder of the mid-80s rivalry between the Cards and Mets.

I would like to personally thank Ernie Hays for preventing that particular brand of surrealism.
