Luyện nghe bài hát The Blues, Pt. 1

a game winnin' from the beginnin' of the first inning.
an essential day off since it's playoffs,
and i'm playin' shortstop, fourth in the line-up,
the pitcher's a right-hander with an unorthodox 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 turned one
lead a loss 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 first 'cause he out the side.
but in the half, the bad guys 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 runs and jump out to an early 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 swung at the pitch.
no wonder the fielder back-peddled to the track and settled under it.
0 for 1 and get goin'.
the ball's thrown the horn and back to the pitcher now.
and all is good for the bad guys, but not so hot for the visitors.
the big is takin' no prisoners.
he to have us figured out, the question is, can we compete?
he's pitching 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, it's the
scenario for any pitcher because he got a reckon
that the chance he gets, he's gonna try to steal second,
which he does. so for the first during the mission,
we've got nobody out and a man in position.
the batter flies out to right, but yo word,
that's still only one out and a on third.
so then the number 3 hitter steps up to the talk,
showin' where he'll hit, but the intentional walk.
it's an old they made 'cause trouble may follow
unless they get the double from the clean-up hitter and that's me.
the infielder's set up a double play depth when ready,
but i smack a line drive left-center for a double, bringing two across,
which just leaves it up to me to do the in the clean-up spot,
'cause now the was 3 to 2.
the score remained the same through five past to pretense.
we kept it with a dazzling display of defense.
we had to pull the starting pitcher, the one that was handed.
the story of the sixth inning was base runners left
and bullpen activity. but still the job is gettin' it
after a perfectly hit and run
and what may later to be the ultimate game-winning catch.
we got a tie game into the seventh inning stretch.
