To borrow from Craig Dykstra in the Invitational:

"I am the Minnesota Twins and...

It's getting to the point where I'm no fun anymore,
I am sorry.
Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud,
Losing only.

I can't score, few are fine,
We are what we are,
We make it hard.

Whatever things ahead are done, we'll try to win another,
No controversy.
Don't let what's passed define us by what we are not now,
We'll see redeeming.

I am sore, you all whine,
We are what we are,
We make it hard.

In need of help to play, to be who we can be,
As we are trying.
This does not mean that we love winning few, less, or never;
We're striving always.

I endure to the line,
We are what we are,
We make it hard.

Something inside is telling me to thrive, that's no secret,
A hope that's glistening.
Here in the dock with gaffes, there's a need to restart,
And we'd love to.

I am sure we'll be fine,
We are what we are,
We make it hard,
Though we make it hard,
Though we make it hard,
Though we make it hard.

Shiny, gleaming Wednesday in the afternoon:
What have we got to lose?
Soon the morning will be gone; there's work to do—
What have we got to lose?

Can I tell it like it is?
Winning's coming maybe,
We're not far from suffering, still we're trying,
And that's what we have to lose.

I've got an answer: I'm going to fly today.
What have I got to lose?
Will we be seething, worse days of batter days?
What have we got to lose?...
