The errors, a pitch that went wild
Mistakes on lost chances were piled
Cubs lacked, we’re depressed
But a fact must be stressed:
Of rookies this team is compiled.
Sin of Omission
by Jim Siergey
The Royals strike often and early
in beating the Blue Jays so thoroughly
Each pitcher is thumped
that’s sent to the bump
How clearly they dearly miss Buerhle
Friendlier, Warmer Confines
by Hilary Barta
At Citi the Cubs were defeated
Their pitching and bats weren’t heated
Their sizzle thus chilled,
They fizzled, were stilled
To Wrigley they now have retreated.
The Alcoholic Cub Fan’s Next Request
By Stuart Shea
I’d rather drink Harvey’s Bristol Creme
Than watch Matt Harvey shut down my team.
The Mets’ Four Aces
by Stephen Jones
Harvey is the Dark Knight, as we all know,
And Syndergaard–he’s Thor’s hammer throw.
deGrom is a Dutch Treat–he makes you pay.
Niese? He’s from Defiance, OH, by the way.
