The Curveball

                                         They say
                                      a lot of guys
                                  with a lot of talent
                                            never
                          make it to the Major Leagues
                                           because
                                       they can't hit
                                the goddamn curveball.
                               They swing at it, alrught.
                                    But to get called
                                               up
                              you gotta put some wood
                                    on that hook, man...

                                      now, about her

                                  She wasn't a fastball.
                                   She wasn't a slider.
                                 She was one-hell-of-a
                                    f*cking-two-strike
                                           two-out
                                       bases-loaded
                                  bottom-of-the-ninth
                                       3-runs-down
                               thunder-in-the-distance
                                           Game 7
                               old-Giant juan marichal
                                         sweeping
                                       round-house
                                       high-leg-kick
                                     righty-on-righty
                                         curveball.

                                         CRACK !
 
                                 I'm in the bigs, baby
