My Mojo Was Gone

My Mojo Was Gone
(sung to the tune of "My City Was Gone", by The Pretenders)


I went back to Ohio
But my mojo was gone
There was no clutch hitting
There was Carlos Rodón
Momentum had disappeared
Screw the pennant races
My White Sox had been pulled down
Destined for third places
Ay, oh, way to go, Ohio

Well I went back to Ohio
But my bullpen was gone
"Ricky, walk Martinez?"
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My "tanking" memories
Slowly swirled past
Same old José Ruiz
Ay, oh, way to go, Ohio

I went back to Ohio
But my young, exciting team
Had been swept by the Wahoos
And our manager greased the slide
The fans of Ohio
Had been buoyed by umpires' calls
And walk-offs filled the air
Usually after four straight balls
Said ay, oh, way to go Ohio

Well and sadly done...

Well done, sir. Haven't heard that song in decades and now, with your new lyrics, I hope I never do again!! (that's a compliment).

I’m hoping Rick Hahn (who surely knows the song) does a Google search for “Pretenders” and ends up on the Sox website.
