In the town where I was born,
Plays a team we come to see,
We are few, but we are keen,
In the land of Gold and Green!
So we’ll get the pennant won,
Workin’ the count, not selling jeans,
In our old Coliseum,
With our Golden, and our Green!
We all live for the Golden and the Green,
Golden and the Green, the Golden and the Green,
We all live for the Golden and the Green,
Golden and the Green, the Golden and the Green
Our friends are all aboard, And the Warriors play next door,
Fingers Dan begins to play.
(organ plays)
We all live for the Golden and the Green,
Golden and the Green, the Golden and the Green,
We all live for the Golden and the Green,
Golden and the Green, the Golden and the Green
(Full speed ahead, Mr. Melvin full speed ahead! Full speed it is, Sgt. Young
Cut the cable, Drop the cable Aye, aye, sir, Aye, aye Captain! Captain!)
As we live a life of ease(life of ease) Every one of us(every one of us) has all we need,(has all we need)
Shoes of white,(shoes of white) and alts of green,(alts of green) With our golden (In our golden) wins machine. (wins machine) ( Haha! )
We all live for the Golden and the Green,
Golden and the Green, the Golden and the Green,
We all live for the Golden and the Green,
Golden and the Green, the Golden and the Green

quick turnaroound. well done
the truth comes out. you’re canadian.
That’s a 5-Woof performance!
So the umps are the Blue Meanies? It all makes sense now.
last night theo asked why I say “Oh no” when the umpires are announced. Unrelated he spent a good deal of time telling me that the home plate umpire should get a new job because he was not very good at umpiring.
Primera’s first experience with umpires, as told to Jon Carroll.
adorable!
awesome. Very well written
That was a terrific story. Thanks!
I like this child rearing you are doing.
I post this a lot

Clearly I need to know more reporters.
it gets upsetting. the guy who wrote that article showed up in my twitter feed as a retweet from someone else.
Awesome! Now do Mellow Yellow!
I was thinking “Octopus’s Garden” as “Oakland Coliseum.”

Hits are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
This should have been “hits are falling in”.
All apologies. The people responsible have been sacked.

That, and because you’re the FilK-it Laureate, in general. We need more titles for our ‘tribute’ album.
Okay, maybe one more. All You Need is Glove, the Cliff Pennington Story.
lol
I could be mad about Coco. But there’s no ’14.’
Will humbly take credit for 2 words. But HELL YEAH! Someone record it and get it to the Stadium before the 8th inning today.
That’s Oblique’s jorb.
It would help if I didn’t wait 2 days to read these threads.
And, awesome job!!
A++
A-wesome!!!
Love it! Nice, nice baby!
Most excellent!
I approve of this FilK, not only because it is well-written, but it goes with a song I actually know.
Lawsuit from apple records in 3… 2…
Butbut cheronner, fairuuuuuuse! I mean, they aren’t very similar — one’s about baseball and the other’s about drugs, and there aren’t any drugs in baseball, and the melodies are completely, and one was written by Britishers, fer chrissakes — what do they know about baseball, and anyway the team it’s about is Not very profitable — sit DOWN, please, Mr. Upgrade — so there’s no money in it, small market and all … AND FINALLY, we are represented by one Mr. Raymond Fosse, Esq., who is ready to question the first witness, and do you Really want that?
MR. FOSSE: How great does it feel, knowing that you can sing a song, that you have the ability to sing that song and that your teammates gave you that opportunity, despite not having much experience singing songs being a drummer, which is like being a catcher who can also run the bases, and that it’s a song about submarines which is now a song that the fans in Oakland can sing about in a completely different way from your song?
MR. STARKEY: It doosn’t feel great all! They stole me song!
MR. FOSSE: Permission to treat the witness as hostile.
Who has two thumbs and had something not so different happen at his 9th circuit oral argument today?
Not so different=Vince was representing someone?
Not so different in that before I could get my third sentence out, they cut in with some totally off-topic crazy issue.
Who was on the panel?
Schroeder, Thomas, Silverman
Good for you — I was gonna go look in The Recorder. Where is there info of general availability?
Audio should be up here by noon tomorrow: http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/media/
Lopez v. Cook.
Uh-oh.
Good’un. Raven by TKO.
Thanks.
did the prosecution bring up whether or not the conditions were the same in any other motion/appeal? Honestly the whole thing seems pretty stuipid because afaict the whole point of your objection is the prejudicial nature of the designation and the lack of due process not an objection to the conditions.
Nope. And you’re right. It is stupid. And clearly both Schroeder (the female judge) and Thomas (who brought the winning “suspension v. firing” analogy) got that. I’m not worried (too much) about losing on that, but was totally unprepared for it.
oh my god. what the hell are they talking about?
Not “they”, just that one guy.
right
great soft landing, though. Answer, redirect to issue
Thanks. I’m glad it came out sounding ok. My brain was basically “ohshitwhyisheaskingaboutthiswhatthefuck” on loop.
9th circ. cool. who’d you get?
