My heart has beat as a D-Ray
Since th’ first pitch of th’ initial day.
It’s so hard to cope,
But there always is hope–
It springs eternal, they say!
Barry Bonds Limerick # 14
By James Finn Garner
Don’t act like it’s all a big mystery
How Barry is rewriting history.
A pact with the devil
Didn’t raise his skill level—
T’was “Better Living Through Chemistry.”

Medium Rare with a Side of Potatoes
by Sandy Marshall
The Coleman Stove can cook,
Grill,
And hit home runs.
The Coleman Stove is weather resistant,
Made of stainless steel,
And steals bases time and again.
Fueled by gas
and
Electricity
and
Gates Barbecue Sauce.
The Coleman Stove:
Lifetime warranty…
To kick ass.

Phillies Sweep Mets
by Jeffrey Felshman
All things slip away:
Family, friends, youth,
Beauty, love, truth,
The tide on a late summer day;
Status, position, power,
Money, security, home,
The best of intentions and least;
Strength, memory, reason,
Happiness, loneliness, life,
A seven-game lead in the National League East.
Posted 9/6/07, a week late to let the pain subside.
Swing Low, Sweet Theriot
by Anonymous
Swing low, sweet Theriot,
Comin’ through to carry me home!
I looked ’round Wrigley and what did I see,
Comin’ through to carry me home!
A line of Cubbies hittin’ after me,
Comin’ through to carry me home!
Swing low, sweet Theriot
Comin’ through to carry me home!
If you get knocked in before I do,
Comin’ through to carry me home!
Jes’ tell Sweet Lou that I’m-a comin’ too,
Comin’ through to carry me home!
Swing low, sweet Theriot,
Comin’ through to carry me home!
I’m sometimes hot and sometimes not,
Comin’ through to carry me home!
But still my bat gives all I got,
Comin’ through to carry me home!
