The Boston Red Sox - "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?"

In the past if someone's horse was suffering - in pain -

They would get a gun and put a bullet through its brain.

These days we use lethal drugs to put a sick horse down

Or, if you're the Red Sox, you just run him out of town.

I won't add my voice to those who'd beat a horse that's dead.

Poor, old Bobby Valentine, who's hanging by a thread,

Must already know it's time to shop his resume'.

I would bet the man is gone by 5 o'clock today.

(Later...  but not much.) 

Didn't even take 'til 5 for Valentine to go.
I'm not sad to see him leaving town, although I know
He is not the only one for Red Sox fans to blame.
Wonder which new, sacrificial lamb the team will name?
