Somehow, it seems,
The Oriole team
Has switched feathers
With their KC brothers.
Now they’re blue,
Don’t know what to do,
While Royals are tweeting
This Baltimore beating.
Tweet, Tweet
by Jim Siergey
Excuse me for writing these words
but something like this can emerge.
If Giants are felled
and Royals are quelled,
this series will be … for the birds.
Locker Room Ammunition

Drubbing the Orioles in their own Camden Yards,
The KC Royals are now boasting with pride:
“Lord Baltimore — you won’t go home again.”
Some souls might disagree, warn the team:
“Hey, careful what you wish for, prideful KC.
Your words can make angry birds more angry.”
A Curmudgeonly Rant
by Jim Siergey
The Series, according to Hoyle,
should not contain Giant or Royal.
No “Wild Card” should be
in this pageantry–
to baseball tradition I’m loyal!

The Verdict
By The Village Elliott
The verdict resounded
When gavel was pounded,
And Great Score Keeper settled the score,
“Made move that confounded,
Lost game that astounded;
Billy Beane’s reputation’s no more.”
