Game #82: A's dominate behind Kazmir's gem

regarding Bloomquist getting DFA’d, SB Nation user Munenori’s Espresso Stand re-did Pharrel’s "Happy" as "Willie"

It might seem crazy what I’m about to say
Bloomquist ain’t here, just got DFA’d
Had to move Boom-Boom just to make some space
Utili-tay? Brad Miller can play that, by the way

Because he’s Willie
Clap along if you feel like Safeco without a roof
Because he’s Willie
That F in W F B stands for Fuckin’, and that’s the truth
Because he’s Willie
Clap along if you know what roster room means to you
Because he’s Willie
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Here come bad news talking this and that
Nah it ain’t rumors, just Willie at-bat
Yeah, well I should probably warn you we’ll be just fine
Yeah, no offense to him, just look at Taylor’s line
Here’s why

Because he’s Willie
A stand-up guy, good fellow, just didn’t seem to fit
Because he’s Willie
Season needed little more youth, and just a little less grit
Because he’s Willie
Never pitched, never catched but did eveything else a bit
Because he’s Willie
Gonna be a Royal again or some kinda sim’lar shit

Willie, send him down
Can’t do it, send him down
Too much service time, send him down
Can’t do it, send him down
I said

Because he’s Willie
Clap along if you feel like Safeco without a roof
Because he’s Willie
Clap along if you feel like he’d be kinda good in the booth
Because he’s Willie
Clap along if you know what Willie B means to you, hey-hey
Because he’s Willie
Clap along if you feel like managing is what he’ll do
