The Asterisk Year

by James Finn Garner

Cool air, short days
Now it’s the postseason of a faux season
It wasn’t a waste
But much has been lost

Sleety April games
Midseason slumps
The DH argument
Stints in Toledo and Scranton
The minors
Veteran farewell tours

A season as satisfying as an airline dinner
(If I remember correctly)

What has the game become?
I feel like Jon Lester trying to pick off a runner
I want to turn back Time
And Time don’t play like that.
