Or is making it rain
By spraying champagne
Committing a Cardinal sin?
The Ghost of Post-Seasons Past

To October the Cubbies are cruising
But to homies the subject’s confusing
By fears we are daunted
For years we’ve been haunted
By knowing our club’s knack for losing.

And if he hits like a wizmo,
The Mets will not quiz mo’.

After inning sixteen
Both bullpens picked clean
Two teams that decline to say “when”
