(What's So Funny 'Bout) Jack Cust Striking Out Looking
As he walks to
The base that's first
Waitin' for strikes off the blackness of unhittability.
I ask myself
Is this game lost?
Is there only bases on balls, and LOB?
And each time a pitcher strikes out our side,
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout Jack Cust striking out looking? Ohhhh-two!
What's so funny 'bout Jack Cust striking out looking?
And as he walked on
Through inning nine
My gamethread gets so foul-mouth-ed sometimes
So where are the runs?
And who's not disgusted?
And where is the RBI?
Sweet RBIs.
'Cause each game I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout Jack Cust striking out looking? Ohhhh-two!
What's so funny 'bout Jack Cust striking out looking?
So where are the runs?
And who's not disgusted?
And where is the RBI?
Sweet RBIs.
'Cause each AB he's not swingin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout stats I'm not understanding? D'ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout stats I'm not understanding? D'ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout stats I'm not understanding?

That's one of my favorite Nick Lowe (And Outside) songs!
Next road game—Green Shirt!
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Nick Lowe rules
He is truly the Jack Cust of Cool.
If we can’t fix the stupid, can we at least beat them senseless? @('.')@
I used to be disgusted
Now I try to be amused.

Three outcomes will happen
We never hit and run
