Greinke and the Brain Theme Song

by Eppenweb on May 14, 2008 7:43 PM EDT Comment 12 comments

Sometime in the last couple of days, one of the Reviewers suggested the nickname "Greinke and the Brain" for Zack and Bannister. I love that idea, and in honor of the back-to-back wins we just received from them, here is the "Greinke and the Brain" theme song (sung, of course, the the tune of "Pinky and the Brain"):

Gee Brian, what do you want to do tonight?

The same thing we do every night, Greinke: try to take over the AL Central!

They're Greinke and the Brain,
Yes Greinke and the Brain
One loves the SABR,
The other throws flames
They're Royals pitchers, true,
But they're a fearsome du-
Oh, They're Greinke, they're Greinke and
the Brain Brain Brain Brain
Brain Brain Brain Brain
Brain

Before each game concludes,
Their talents are displayed.
They make batters look like fools,
'Til Soria gets the save!

They're Greinke and the Brain
Yes Greinke and the Brain
Their summer campaign
Is easy to explain
To give KC a chance
to the playoffs to advance,
They're Greinke, they're Greinke and the
Brain Brain Brain Brain
Brain Brain Brain Brain
Hooch!

YES!!!!

I really don't know what to say... Did the post above this signature make sense? Probably not.

That's genius

I probably disagree with you.

Pinky & the Brain would approve

I probably disagree with you.

The second I found that picture on Google, I knew it was the one.

It was like opening a Christmas present, the picture was so perfect.

It is perfect

He’s looking up, thoughtfully. Undoubtedly he’s devising a pitch sequence against some unlucky opposing hitter.

I probably disagree with you.

Wow.

Just wow… thanks for taking my musings to new heights!

Relax, all right? Don't try to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.

I love it

My kids just got into Pinky and the Brain on DVD. I don’t think I ever appreciated how brilliant some of that stuff is.

Fantastic take-off of that. Maybe this should be mentioned in Rany’s “Nicknames” contest.

How perfect is it that his name is Brian.

One letter switch away from Brain. Amazing.

Rec'd

I assume everyone has already seen that Rany has invoked “executive privilege” and made this the duos’ nickname, at least for whatever that’s worth on his blog?

Hope is not a strategy. And neither is playing Tony Pena every day. (Rany Jazayerli)
