Some Red Sox Holiday Dirt-Doggerel

The Hot Stove continues, and Sox fans Are waiting to hear Theo’s big plans To put this team back On its glory-bound track, That huge trophy, held high in Sox hands... Dear Santa: we'd like one more big bat. Teixeira, perhaps, in a Sox hat? And a rotation richer With one more hot pitcher Might get the Sox ready for combat. But Santa, my Christmas wish this year, Is 'Tek back, and decked out in full gear, Behind Boston’s plate, As he was in oh-eight. That’ll start the real ‘holiday cheer’! (‘Cause though it’s a great roster we’ve got, I'll know for sure we’ve got a real shot When El Capitán Giving all that he can, Takes the helm, with a captain-ly squat.) And then, onward! We’ll stake out our claims Through one hundred sixty two games: Pedroia, Youk, Paps and Wake Tek, Papi, Beckett, Jake… Once more, World Champion names! (link)
