The hard-stuff was raining in Texas
Said the Tigers, “Their fastballs just wrecked us.”
. Both bullpens were great
. but Feliz got three straight:
His pitching was all about Xs
Cruz Control
The trouble with loading the bases
is for runners you’ve run out of places
. And go extra innings
. your woe’s just beginning,
’cause brother, you’ve run out of aces
A walk or a homer — you choose
A ball or a strike — they both lose
. The bases are loaded,
. your bullpen’s eroded,
and tall at the plate: Nelson Cruz
Excellent!
