Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it's all right
We were scared, what with Glavine, Pedro, Floyd and company hurt.
Glavine's healthy.
We were scared that Firstings/Tucker/Endy/Ledee couldn't cut it.
We got Shawn Green.
We all feared that Maine and Trachsel would give it up against our main NL competition.
And they both pitched poorly.
But the Mets hit. They hit more than the Cardinals.
Delgado bombed Jeff Weaver. Beltran shredded Mitch Williams Isringhausen.
Then the Mets beat up on Mark Mulder.
And the bullpen, the cream of the NL, it did its best.
Billy Wagner, you are my hero.
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
It's been a while since the Mets have had a lead this big.
It's been a while since we've won ten straight at Shea.
It's been a while since the Mets won a series against the Cardinals, long the class of the National League. The series was clinched tonight.
The long cold lonely winter is over.
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
We've got another competent outfielder.
The team is healthy. Or getting healthier.
There's excitement in the air.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
No more Kaz Matsui. Instead, Ozzie Smith in the booth.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
No more Roberto Alomar. Instead, Sandy Alomar makes Willie a better manager.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
No more Roger Cedeno. Instead, they just laugh at him in the booth.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
No more Braden Looper. He's pitching for St. Louis right now. We've got the National League's best closer.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
No more losing. In its place, winning.
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it's all right
It's all right
Finally, we can coast. It's all right.
Doo doo doo doo.
Note: For those of you who didn't watch the game on SNY, this post probably makes no sense to you. It was Polish Heritage Night (Where's Mientkiewicz?) and the fortieth anniversary of when the Beatles last played Shea Stadium. Therefore, there was some Beatles tribute band at Shea playing in between innings. And yes, SNY found some way to get Chris Cotter in there, rocking out with them.
