The Daze of September

by Hilary Barta

Remember the promise of Spring?
In September those memories sting
.    But pros round the bases
.    And go through the paces
Condemned, they must play out the string

 

Hilary’s daily limericks on monsters, old movies and comics can be found at LimerWrecks.

Mantle

An Oklahoma flash
Out of  “shucks” and a beer can
He swung for pleasure

Tighten Your Beltran

By Stuart Shea

When Carlos Beltran came to the Bay,
He was supposed to hit SF’s troubles away.
Fans think his RBI count’s a disgrace,
But you can’t drive in runners
Who aren’t on base.

Brewer Summer

by Doug Fahrendorff

Auspicious signs
Ten games up
A month to go
September in Wisconsin
Baseball still a hot topic
Three million fans
Make the trek to Miller Park
Skeptical fans
Beginning to believe
This will be a season
To remember
Ryan, Prince, and T. Plush
On the cover of S.I.
LaRussa disconcerted
Still
The pennant
Not clinched yet
Work to do
“Gotta Go”
