Why Did You Keep Pedro In?

We couldn't have got there without you. We were five outs away from a win. You were the smartest guy in the stadium. But why did you keep [|Pedro] in?

We don't believe in those curses. We could care less about old Harry's sin. But with such a powerful bullpen, Why did you keep [|Pedro] in?

Oh, [|Pedro] was awesome for seven, And it looked like he could hang in. Those two liners showed he'd become shaky— Why did you keep [|Pedro] in?

Though whacked cold, [|Johnny Damon] kept waving; The guys always want to stay in. Of course, [|Pedro'd] say he could blow them away, But why did you keep [|Pedro] in?

He could have left the hill as a hero— We'd say [|Pedro] had smoked them again! You could not deny that his pitch count was high, Why did you keep [|Pedro] in?

We know there is one consolation: We know you'll never do it again. Still the cry rises from Red Sox Nation: Why did you keep [|Pedro] in?

With each move you had out-managed [|Torre]. Yankee cheering was growing quite thin. With such talented benches for backup, Why did you keep [|Pedro] in?

You made us now root for the Marlins, And we hardly know how to begin. You almost upended the Empire, Why did you keep [|Pedro] in?

You brought new pizzazz to the clubhouse: The crew found the cowboy within. You did so much for the guys, but with tears in our eyes, We say, why did you keep [|Pedro] in?

I HEAR America singing, the varied carols I hear; || ||
 * Those of mechanics—each one singing his, as it should be, blithe and strong; || ||
 * The carpenter singing his, as he measures his plank or beam, || ||
 * The mason singing his, as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work; || ||
 * The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat—the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck; || ||
 * The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench—the hatter singing as he stands; || ||
 * The wood-cutter’s song—the ploughboy’s, on his way in the morning, or at the noon intermission, or at sundown; || ||
 * The delicious singing of the mother—or of the young wife at work—or of the girl sewing or washing—Each singing what belongs to her, and to none else; || ||
 * The day what belongs to the day—At night, the party of young fellows, robust, friendly, || ||
 * Singing, with open mouths, their strong melodious [|songs]. ||
