Twins 6, A’s 4: A’s in the hole

Why settle for a loss when we can win baseball games?

It was a beautiful game, the lights beamed down,
We couldn’t wait to go on, we were thrivin’.
A’s went down, Ed and Max were swingin’,
Lots of fun today, we’re arrivin’.

Yeah, we’re runnin’ town and team; our victory is guaranteed,
Offense hot and quickening, ever extendin’ our lead,
Runnin’ town and team.

It felt so good, the cheering was audible,
Went on a roll with eager eyes.
Our batsmen jelled, relievers were laudable,
Still our final goal — the final prize.

Yeah, we’re runnin’ town and team; our victory is guaranteed,
Pitching movement sickening, ever defendin’ our lead,
Runnin’ town and team.

Fight is on, we’ve got a spark,
We had to settle down and make a climb.
There’s always good when we’re in the park,
We’ll win it all — you’ll see in time.

Yeah, we’re runnin’ town and team; our victory is guaranteed,
Each opponent chickening, never ascendin’ to lead,
Runnin’ town and team.

Yeah, we’re runnin’ town and team; a Series win’s guaranteed,
Fans’ excitement thickening, ever unbendin’ we bleed,
Runnin’ town and team.
