Luyện nghe bài hát The Blues, Pt. 1

a game worth winnin' from the of the first inning.
an essential day off it's provincial playoffs,
and i'm playin' shortstop, batting in the line-up,
the opposing pitcher's a right-hander with an wind-up.
and a move to first, throws a curve, and changes speeds.
can be wild at times and known to blow the leads.
like the last time we faced him, he one savage
lead into a for his team, and inflated his earned run average.
but today he focused and we were stuck out to dry
in the top of the 'cause he struck out the side.
but in the bottom half, the bad came out swingin'.
a lot of coaches like to choose takin' the route,
the big hitters to the plate, and players that are purely speed,
and try to manufacture runs and jump out to an lead.
and this time it worked, so we gonna need a hero,
after one complete, the score's already 3 to 0.
leadin' off the second, i at the first pitch.
no wonder the center back-peddled to the track and settled under it.
0 for 1 and get goin'.
the ball's thrown around the and back to the pitcher now.
and all is good for the bad guys, but not so hot for the visitors.
the big right-hander is no prisoners.
he seems to us figured out, the question is, can we compete?
he's perfect after 3 complete and has a 3-1 lead.

top of the fourth and our lead-off hitter it to first base.
and here we go, the worst-case
for any opposing pitcher because he got a reckon
that the chance he gets, he's gonna try to steal second,
he does. so for the first time during the mission,
we've got out and a man in scoring position.
the next batter out to right, but yo word,
that's only one out and a runner on third.
so then the 3 hitter steps up to the conventional talk,
showin' where he'll hit, but the intentional walk.
it's an old maneuver they made 'cause may follow
unless they get the play from the clean-up hitter and that's me.
the set up a double play depth when they're ready,
but i smack a line drive into for a double, bringing two across,
which just leaves it up to me to do the damage in the spot,
now the score was 3 to 2.
the score remained the same through past hits to pretense.
we kept it with a dazzling display of defense.
we had to the starting pitcher, the one that was left handed.
the story of the sixth inning was base runners stranded
and activity. but still the job is gettin' it done
a perfectly executed hit and run
and what may later prove to be the game-winning catch.
we got a tie game into the seventh inning stretch.
