Toronto 4, Yankees 2

by Stephen Jones

Yankee fans may wonder why,
Every time they close on Toronto
Their team pokes itself in the eye.

Price was hittable,
Opportunity was tangible, but timely
Bomber bats were a no-show.

One has to wonder
About all the thunder
In Toronto these days.

More likely it’s the weather,
Not the team’s future,
In Toronto these days.

 

Quintin Berry Had ONE JOB

By Stuart Shea

Quintin Berry has one role–
Run.
Quintin Berry, pinch-runner?
Done!

Quintin Berry, never caught?
Nope.
Stealing second, last of ninth?
Hope.

Quintin Berry’s jump is bad–
Doubt.
Tony Cruz makes the throw–
Out.

 

Just One Concern

By Stuart Shea

The Cubs may make the playoffs–
it’s getting serious…
Unless the pitching staff
Develops diptherious.
