PREGAME THREAD: Reds (38-60) @ Giants (58-40) - July 25, 2016

<div class="md"><p><strong>A Fucking Dream Within a Fucking Dream</strong></p>

<p>Written by: the fucking poet Edger Allen Poe</p>

<p>with special <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpX_EDXjz9g" rel="nofollow">music by the fucking beast ass composer Hans Zimmer</a></p>

<pre><code>Take this high fastball upon the brow! And, in parting from the Yankees now, Thus much let me avow- You are not wrong, who deem That my days in Cincinnati have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the fans that roar Of a sabermatricians WAR, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep- while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream? </code></pre>

<p>That terrible re-purposing of that marvelous piece of literature is brought to you by procrastination - don't worry, we'll be here for you tomorrow. </p>

<p>It's surprisingly difficult to add profanity to a work that is already so profound in its meter. Going to have to go back to Google or write something myself. </p> </div>
