Victory

Here it is, we’ve all be waiting;
Now’s the time for celebrating!
Winning’s sweet, but even sweeter
Is to win with Derek Jeter.
Phillies simply didn’t get it
When confronted by a Pettitte,
Or a C.C. or Marte;
And Mariano? Hell, no way!
Sometimes umpires’ calls were screwy,
But we countered with Matsui.
Every player really hustled;
Melk and Johnny pulled some muscle.
Alex came through in the clutch;
Phillies didn’t like that much.
Mark Teixeira and Posada
Fielded smoothly, missing nada.
Gardner, Swisher and Cano
Helped to deal the fatal blow.
Pitchers Joba, Coke and Hughes
Joined to make the Phillies lose.
Robertson, A.J. Burnett
Pitched as good as it can get.
Hairston, Jr. did his part,
Even though he didn’t start.
Molina, Hinske, Aceves, too
All did what they had to do.
And of course, there’d be no party
Without brilliant Joe Girardi.
Every single Yankee fan,
Here at home or in Japan,
Feels today like we’re in heaven –
Wow! It’s really twenty-seven!
