Game Over for Milton Bradley

by James Finn Garner

.

Milton Bradley got into Trouble
Caught in the Wrigley Field bubble.

A Payday enormous
For such poor performance.

Now his Career’s nothing but rubble.
.
Sorry, Milt, that Chicago’s blunt fans
Made it seem less than a Candyland.

That’s the Risk that you take
Living Life by the lake.

It’s like permanent Ants in the Pants.
.
Is the Aggravation because you are black?
Balderdash, Milty, You Don’t Know Jack.

We all had a Clue
This is what you would do.

Last Word:  Your Cranium‘s cracked.

U-12 Girls Softball

by Doug Fahrendorff

Yesterday in a tournament
We finished our season
Second place
A trophy to display at school
Today a final round of calls
To organize
Next week’s picnic
The season
A catalog of images
I make out awards recognizing
Excellence and effort
A final thanks to players and parents
Can’t wait till next year

Kung Fu Panda’s Stretch Run

By Stuart Shea

If Pablo Sandoval
Has a fault at all
It’s simply that his uniform can’t fit.

Nobody looks like him
And it will be quite grim
If sometime soon his uniform pants split.
