Is falling down
Into the stands.
Did he land on his hands?
Or maybe his head?
I hope he’s not dead.
Oh, good. He’s getting up,
But a little bit late,
As Ruben Tejada slides into home plate.
Trip to Lourdes

“Never trust a base-runner with a limp. Comes a base hit and you’ll think he just got back from Lourdes.” –Joe Garagiola
Slumping visitors often leave healed,
Like from Lourdes, when they visit Coors Field;
But for Coors humidor
They could heal even more,
Cured by number of runs Rockies yield.
Equal Time for Colorado
by James Finn Garner
Colorado’s owed a poem–
It’s years since we have posted one
About the Rocky Mountain State
And everything that makes it great.
The skiing hills, the hiking trails,
Big-time marijuana sales,
The healthy folks, the energy green.
I’m also told they’ve a baseball team.
Hard Eight

Memo to Manny Machado:
Next time, you must hit it much higher
If you want your lead-off blast to
Get past the gold glove of Kiermaier.
