Waiting for Comeuppance

by James Finn Garner

In the Midwest we’re not prone to bragging
We like socks with sandals and double-bagging
We like a 30-pack and jerky from Kasey’s
And are still suspicious of Macy’s.
We don’t get too big for our britches
Unless the subject is hot dishes.
We take our time reaching decisions
And are in no rush to win the division.

Royal Dumbasses

What’s up with your team, Kansas City?
TEN players not vaxxed, what a pity!
Playing the Jays
Now needs scrubs and strays
The toll of ignorance isn’t pretty.

 

Twin Drivel

If the Bomba Twins
Keep racking up wins,

The new White Sox
Can be wrapped back in their box,

Detroit’s Bengals
Must study new angles,

The rebuild in Cleveland
Will move from “expected” to “real” and

Kansas City
Can just keep being shitty.

 

Yankees 6, KC 3

by Stephen Jones

Yankee fans, are you Happ-y?
J.J. Happ showed he’s worth the penny.
The trade with Toronto worked out fine:
Six solid innings of the power kind.
But before you go all future-mental,
Just remember this: He’s still a rental.
