Livin' La Vida Votto, or Why Everyone Avoids Me All Summer.....

Albert Pujols was traded to the Anaheim Angels! I'm a Reds fan, so this is like, the greatest news ever. I also happen to think the Cardinals are "whiners and complainers" (grazi, Brandon Phillips!), but anyway....glad to see a fine player like Pujols on a better team, and in the AL instead of the same division as my beloved Reds (lol). I wrote some lyrics last year to the tune of "Livin' La Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin....so here is "Livin' La Vida Votto" for all you Reds fans:

"His name is Joey Votto
He plays some great baseball
I feel a premonition-
Those Reds are gonna win it all!
Most Valuable Player of the NL,2010
That dude is Joey Votto-when he plays, we're gonna win!
He plays first base and bats left, had 37 runs last year,
Born up in Ontario but we’re really glad he’s here,
everybody give a cheer! C’mon...
Watching in the stands, I’m livin’ la vida Votto!
Hit one for the fans, I’m livin la vida Votto!
Lookin’ at that face, I think he’s pretty hot-o,
The man at first base, is livin’ la vida Votto! He’s livin’ la vida Votto....
Went up to Cincinnati, to Great American Ballpark,
He stole my heart, and then stole third base,
Fireworks light up the dark.
He never talks about himself, it makes you wonder why,
How can he be that gorgeous, can I meet him if I try? Oh my!"
Lmao. Everyone who knows me dreads baseball season, because I get really into it. So does my grandma. One of my favorite memories of my grandma is when she was watching the Reds on TV a few years ago, and screamed at Bronson Arroyo to "get off that pitcher's mound and go back and play your guitar!" He was pitching really badly, lol. Anyway, we'll be livin' la vida Votto, all summer.....
