Cup of Coffee: Anthony, WooSox keep working hard in Allentown

9/20 Cup of Coffee: Eliminated from the playoff hunt on Wednesday, the WooSox managed just three hits as they begin to play out the string. 

Lehigh Valley IronPigs (PHI) 6, Worcester Red Sox 3

Well they're waiting here in Allentown

Just to close the season down

All those Worcester men, they're killing time

Nary getting down that first base line

Our fathers fight to hold third place

Alas a shutout dooms them at the Trop

Yet Roman Anthony with a hit and walk

Brings the promise of a prospect, top

Well they're waiting here in Allentown

For that roster spot they've rarely found

Dalbec doubled, McGuire as well

Worked hard to ring that big league recall bell

So the graduations hang on the wall

On the SoxProspects banner read by all

Taught you Devers' power was for real

Ceddanne's glove, Wilyer's arm, Jarren's steal.

Every signing's got a pretty good shot

Five shutout innings Brad Keller fought

But something happened in the last of the sixth

Four unearned runs left his stat line unfixed

Well I'm living here in Allentown

And it's hard to keep a good man down

But I won't be moving up today

Player of the Day: Despite not having a homer on the month, it has been an incredibly impressive September for Roman Anthony. Baseball America's newest top overall prospect in the game had a single and a walk and has now reached base in all 15 games during the month on his way to a .368/.486/.474 line.
