Oh Rosenthal now wounded
with grief weighing fans down
you’re scornfully surrounded
with runners, despite your crown
of sacred saves leader in ’15
the blessings you have known
Now despised as closer
Please don’t pick up the bullpen phone
Trevor, you have suffered
for the opposition’s gain
your fastball the transgression
that caused the deadly pain
So fans now kneel and pray for
and wish for a first place
looking at Mike Matheny
to save us from this pace
What language shall I borrow
Four letters and not more
As we watch in sorrow
Your hamstring isn’t sore
Make someone else the closer
a loyal pitcher who
can finished what he started
and save a game or two.
