The inebriated story of July 29th, 2014. The Night the Back Up Catcher Got The Win.

lyrics

The night the backup catcher got the win.
I showed up down at 6:30 with a belly full of gin.
I knew it would be a long one, Edwin Jackson was pitchin'
The night the backup catcher got the win.

Edwin Jackson only lasted four.
The game was tied for 12 more innings, nobody could score.
We went to Captain Morgan's cause we wanted to drink more.
The night the backup catcher got the win.

It was the night the backup catcher got the win (got the win)
The night the backup catcher got the win (got the win)
Sat in the upper deck with 3 of my best friends.
The night the backup catcher got the win.

We went just outside outside to have a smoke
But as we stood beyond the gates, Captain Morgan's closed
We got left outside and we couldn’t get back in.
The night the backup catcher got the win.

We were 3 sheets to the wind and over-served
We couldn’t get back to our seats in upper deck reserved.
So we watched a game from The Dugout on Addison
The night the backup catcher got the win.

It was the night the backup catcher got the win (got the win)
The night the backup catcher got the win (got the win)
Got sick outside of Wrigley from mixing beer and gin
The night the backup catcher got the win.

John Baker finally won it in 16
On the most exciting Sac Fly this baseball fan has seen
But I sorta missed it, I was drunk as Charlie Sheen
The night the backup catcher got the win.

It was the night the backup catcher got the win (got the win)
The night the backup catcher got the win (got the win)
They threatened us with handcuffs when we tried to sneak back in
The night the backup catcher got the win. (got the win)

The night the backup catcher got the win. (got the win)
The night the backup catcher got the win. (got the win)
It was the night the backup catcher got the win.
