NL Baseball Lineups = songs on cd's

I've been thinking about this post for a while and as baseball is about to get kicked back in to gear, I thought it would be appropriate to post this now. I'd love some feedback from music aficionado's and baseball statisticians to let me know where I'm wrong.
Since I recently bought a few albums (is it still appropriate to call them albums since we've gone to the digital age?) last week and have been listening through the whole thing, I realized that there is a lot of similarities between a baseball lineup and the way songs on a cd/album are arranged.

The first song is usually a fast generic song which is easily heard on popular radio...
In Baseball, the first batter is usually someone who gets on base a lot, has some or a lot of speed, to set up the rest of the batters to knock in runs...

The second batter begins to try to get the first batter to the next base...
The second song begins to show off the character of the cd (musically or lyrically)...


The third, fourth, and fifth song is usually a power song (either lyrically or musically), bringing up the heart of the album (whatever the artist is trying to present); the title track usually comes from this group of songs...
The third, fourth, and fifth batters are considered the heart of the order, the big sluggers, the ones who knock in many runs...


The sixth, seventh, and eighth batters are the lesser hitters, but usually carry on the work of getting in runs...
The sixth through next to last songs continue to show the album off, but aren't up to the standards of the first five songs (though there's usually one gem in this group)...


The final batter in the lineup in the National League (the real league worth watching) is the pitcher, whose job is not necessarily to score runs but to stop other runs from scoring (a very integral part of the game, by the way)...
The final song on an album is usually slower and wraps up the theme of the album...


On some albums, there is the all-important "secret" or "hidden" song. I don't care what it's like (excellent or poor), it always makes an album more "cool" for me.
On the baseball team, there are pinch hitters, which come up to bat for the regular players in important situations where a run is needed. They usually get a lot of flack or credit for wins and losses because they come up in crucial spots.


I'm sure there are other similarities, but for now my brain is worn out seeing connections between two of my loves. Anyone else with me on this, or am I alone on an island (not a "Lost"-type island, but a Simon & Garfunkel type one...)?
