When a body meets a concrete wall, Coming through the rye. While you rest your aching body, Drew Will you eat a chicken pie? (Sung to the tune of Auld Lang Syne) In last night's eventual 7-2 loss to Detroit, Red Sox right fielder JD Drew ran into a hard and fast rule chasing down a Maggie Ordonez home run ball.
 A wall is a wall is a wall. They don't shift aside for you, even if the human body is are a little too fragile for a concrete-on-flesh-and-bone meeting. JD Drew might have thought he had a $70 Million pre-arranged escape plan to avoid injury and come out the hero but even putting on the brave face couldn't stop the thumping he gave himself in the 3rd inning collision with the right-center bullpen.
Hinske eventually came in to play for the sore JD, whose back started to tighen up as the game went on. Pending further evaluation, SluggerWily.com feels it's pretty safe to say that when Drew's body meets Wily Mo's body, he'll be coming through the batting order while ... hmmm... perhaps we should let Robert Burns finish his own jingle? ... Coming thro' the rye, poor body,
Coming thro' the rye,
She draiglet a' her petticoatie
Coming thro' the rye. O, Jenny's a' wat, poor body;
Jenny's seldom dry;
She draiglet a' her petticoatie
Coming thro' the rye. Gin a body meet a body
Coming thro' the rye,
Gin a body kiss a body -
Need a body cry? Gin a body meet a body
Coming thro' the glen,
Gin a body kiss a body -
Need the warld ken? |
