Welcome to Steinbrenner High School

"Philadelphia's Eric Bruntlett ended Sunday's game against the Mets with an unassisted triple play, prompting this take on "Baseball's Sad Lexicon" (better known as Tinker to Evers to Chance) by Howard Megdal on the Amazin' Avenue blog:

This is the saddest of possible word

Bruntlett to Bruntlett to Bruntlett
Killer of rally in season absurd
Bruntlett to Bruntlett to Bruntlett
Vicious line drive that seemed destined to drop
Giving the Mets chance to come out on top
This year's indignities simply won't stop
Bruntlett to Bruntlett to Bruntlett"
