Song of the Week: The Mountain Goats

"Cubs In Five" The Mountain Goats from Nine Black Poppies

You know, there aren't that many great songs out there that touch on baseball -- at least that we've heard in our sheltered little lives. But this one is fucking amazing. John Darnielle, aka The Mountain Goats, has written a shitload of great songs over the years, but this oldie-but-goodie remains my favorite.

And check out the Tampa Bay line that completely dates the song.
