Once again starting pitching had sucked;
Saved by double play Joe Panik plucked;
. Â Â Bochy didn’t have a doubt
. Â Â Mad Bum would get last out,
And Royals’ title the Giants abduct.
(Kansas City is Royally f**ked!)
World Series Pop Quiz
By Stephen Jones
The Royals must be hoping
The answer to this quizzing.
Class – here’s a math curve ball.
Will the home team win it all?
Suppose it plays Game Seven
At home. What’s the percent, then?
The Royals may be singing
The answer to this quizzing.
You in the back – what did you say?
Eight out of ten teams win the day?
That’s 80% – and numbers don’t lie.
Maybe that’s the KC reason why
It must be smiling
During pop quizzing.
It All Comes Down To

A Baseball Fan’s Heaven–
World Series Game Seven.
So Let’s Turn it Up to Eleven!
October Replays
by James Finn Garner
While Giants fans
And Royal loyals
watch the see-saw
with short breath
life-and-death
I feel like I do when I’m watching
an old favorite movie,
and the second-from-last scene is playing
as succulently as ever
“I couldn’t be fonder of you if you were my own son. But, well, if you lose a son, it’s possible to get another.”
“Love is eternal. It has been the strongest motivation for human actions throughout history. Love is stronger than life. It reaches beyond the dark shadow of death.”
“Well, nobody’s perfect.”
But it will be over soon, like always,
And time disappears again
like always
And I walk up the stairs in the dark house
And hope to sleep
All the way til morning.
More Mad Bum
by the Village Elliott
Once again, Jints southpaw with stubble
Burst the K.C. Royals scoring bubble,
. Â Â Mad Bum’s second shutout
. Â Â Leaves most fans little doubt,
The Royals’ Series title’s in trouble.
