Although the badly slumping Sandoval was not a factor in the Rangers series, Lincecum's killer changeup, untouchable slider and whiff-inducing splitter had the Rangers thoroughly bamboozled, allowing just one run and three hits over eight solid innings during the 3-1 win in Game Five to finally end the Giants' 56-year World Series drought. Shortstop Edgar Renteria's brilliant defensive play and surprising run production – his three-run homer was all the Giants needed to take Game Five and clinch the series – made him a unanimous choice for MVP but unfortunately it wasn't enough to earn him a mention in Panda & the Freak which will be released as part of the Baseball Project's second album Vol. 2: High and Inside (Yep Roc) due in February. I'm sure he's content with the MVP hardware and a second huge diamond-encrusted ring. Check out the song in the live clip below or stream the studio version for free right here.
Panda & the Freak
You heard about the Mudcat, Catfish and the Georgia Peach
The Kitten and the Cobra, the Spaceman and the Beast
Goose, Bird, Rooster, Penguin, Vulture, and your bird can sing
And the greatest nickname of all time: Death To Flying Things
In old New York it was Turkey Mike, Muggsy and the Big Six
In San Francisco Baby Bull, Stretch and the Say Hey Kid
Then came the Count, the Hac km an, Jack the Ripper and Will the Thrill
Barry and Jeff Kent, but a dearth of nicknames, that is, until
The Giants got the Panda, the Giants got the Freak
The Panda’s smoking line drives, the Freak is throwing heat
Panda and the Freak, Panda and the Freak.
When it comes to kung fu fighting, he’s no better than Hong Chi Quo
He’s kind of like Bruce Lee if you cross Bruce Lee with a buffalo
He barrels round the bases, he scrambles for ground balls
Zito named him Kung Fu Panda, that’s our Pablo Sandoval
They said he wasn’t built to last, they said he was too small
The Mariners passed him right by, now that was a bad call
Two Cy Youngs, two strike-out crowns, in his first full two seasons
That's why they call Tim the Freak, because he defies all reason
