With Apologies to AC/DC

(To the tune of “You Shook Me All Night Long”)

I did a late night draft
Just to have some laughs
‘Cos I’m a big-time expert with Rotographs

The price was steep
The draft was deep
It’s crazy to do this when I should be asleep

I missed Arenado,
Missed Machado and Votto,
The best I could do was Prado and Delgado.

And my head was aching,
My hands were shaking,
The draft was snaking,
I couldn’t start waking up, and

It…took me all night long (when we drafted)
It…took me all night long (I got shafted)

I was asleep at the switch,
So I encountered a glitch,
And I drafted Cabrera but I’m not sure which.

I got Osuna for real
Thought he was a steal
But nobody told me he was on the DL

I got so tired
My time expired
And Autopick gave me a guy who’s retired

And my head was aching,
My hands were shaking,
The draft was snaking,
I couldn’t start waking up and

It…took me all night long (when we drafted)
It…took me all night long (I got shafted)

[INSERT AIR GUITAR SOLO HERE]

It really shook me and
It….took me all night long, yeah
It…took me all night long





The Birchwood Brothers are two guys with the improbable surname of Smirlock. Michael, the younger brother, brings his skills as a former Professor of Economics to bear on baseball statistics. Dan, the older brother, brings his skills as a former college English professor and recently-retired lawyer to bear on his brother's delphic mutterings. They seek to delight and instruct. They tweet when the spirit moves them @birchwoodbroth2.
