STAT, ASAP

by Jim Siergey

The man with initials A.D.
The Sox signed for many a G.
.    Unfortunately,
.    They did not foresee
He’s ready for A.A.R.P.

Yankee Fan Lament

by Stephen Jones

A.J. Burnett
The best we can get?
Number 2 in rotation?
Is consternation

In July he hasn’t won yet
& now he seems set
To continue in August
With confounding performance

(But he has good stuff
With used-car fluff
Chimes a hollow commentator
As if proving The Equator)

Who knows where his head’s at?
It changes with a swing of the bat
Each time he takes the mound
Each fan prays Don’t let me down

Because each time A.J. Burnett
& good stuff is an uncertain bet

Go-Go Mojo Gone?

by Jim Siergey

The White Sox play just like a yo-yo.
Each time that you think they’re a no-go
.    They win for a week
.    And then they will reek.
They make a fan feel like a dodo.

The Cards Can Be Killers

by Hilary Barta

They say that a fan should be loyal,
but the pain in the stands can be royal!
How does one stay true
to the Cubs’ losing crew
when they play unaccording to Hoyle?
