What to Feel About Rick Ankiel?
by James Finn Garner
Need a sad story? Check out Rick Ankiel,
Whose August exploits made Redbird fans feel
Like jumping for joy. Years past, after Rick’s
Stint as a St Louis hurler had passed,
He traded the mound for some outfield grass.
He leaped and he ran, and when swinging his stick,
He rang up the runs like a pinball machine.
Now there’s suspicion he’s not playing clean.
His once-mighty bat is now a limp wick.
While there’s no proof yet Rick took hGH,
The mess helped derail the Cards’ pennant stretch,
And this feel-good story now makes you feel sick.

Three Cubs Limericks
by Tim McClure
The Cubs are in a bit of a slump.
Ninety-nine years is a big hump.
Fans want them to win,
And drinking they’ve been,
Waiting in bleachers like chumps.
When the Cubs lose I get mad,
All of my family is sad,
I kick things around,
My mind is not sound,
And life is generally bad.
I so hate it when the Cubs do lose,
And watching, I still do choose.
Forty-year-old sap,
What a load of crap,
I’m just deranged with no clues.

These are a Few of My Favorite Things
by Sandy Marshall
What’s your favorite food?
What’s your favorite color?
Who’s your favorite player?
Mine’s Tommy Herr.
Who’s from Pennsylvania?
Who likes to play Second?
Who’s an All Star?
I bet it’s Tom Herr.
Who passed the torch?
The pro baseball torch?
Following footsteps…
His Dad is Tom Herr.
Who’s a Cardinal, Met, Twin,
And a Philly for sure?
Who’s the Giant of All?
You know it’s Tom Herr!
