In the spirit of past WSBGM's song parodies, I bring to you my rendition of Pearl Jam's Better Man inspired by the uninspiring competition for the 5th spot in the Phillies rotation.
Waiting, watching the game,
It's the 4th inning, it's got to stop,
Tell him, take no more, Manuel practices his speech
As he approaches the mound, he thinks it over.
Pretends to take the ball as he looks him over.
Manuel lies and says he's alright with him,
Can't find a better man.
Phans dream in color, Phans dreams in red,
Upset we can't find a better man.
Can't find a better man.
Ohh...
Talking to himself, there's no one else who can pitch now,
He tells himself, oh...
Memories back when the rotation was bold and strong,
And waiting for the league to come along.
Swears he knew it was so, but now he swears it gone.
He lies and says he's okay with him,
Can't find a better man.
Phans curse in color, Phans are seeing in red,
Pissed Gil...
