One way that this year’s Verlander-ing
Was different than classic philandering:
Pudge set it up with his pandering,
Aided by expert ball-handling,
But after all their energy-expending,
The Brewers had blue balls at the ending.
The Flight of Goose Gossage
by Sandy Marshall
Goose Gossage,
Goose Gossage,
You are your own Bossage,
You have your own mitt that you sign and Embossage.
Goose Gossage,
Goose Gossage,
You always will Flossage,
Your round rolling stone will ne’er gather no Mossage.
Goose Gossage,
Goose Gossage,
You boot up with DOSsage,
You always predict the results of coin Tossage.
Goose Gossage,
Goose Gossage,
Your car drives with Nossage,
And you play like you dance, like the winged Bob Fossage.

Today, Tomorrow, Next Year!
by Nate
There once was a team from Kansas City
That other fans always seemed to pity.
“They show up some nights.”
And mostly they’re right.
About Sluggerr they think, “Just a kitty.”
But MY Royals and theirs aren’t the same.
I live and die with every game.
My boys always fight,
And light up the night.
Of my Royals I am not ashamed.
Things will be different next year.
A winning season is oh so near.
To crops, they’re the cream.
And it won’t be a dream
To toast a championship with a beer!

Magglio’s Last Laugh
by James Finn Garner
When Kenny Williams told Maggs
To pack up his bags,
Hinting grit wasn’t one of his talents,
Kenny hadn’t the notion
That he’d set in motion
An era of Motown Magg-nificence.
Magglio got maligned
but later was signed
By Tiger whiz David Dombrowski.
Now he’s hitting like Gehrig,
While the White Sox are staring
over their shoulders, worried ’bout Kansas City.

The Running of the Tartabull
by Sandy Marshall
Danny,
Oh Danny,
The heart of a bull.
Hey, Danny,
Go, Danny!
The “Star Well” is full!
Now Danny!
It’s time Danny!
The son of Jose’ . . .
Stand Danny,
That’s right, Danny,
It’s time now to play.
Breathe, Danny,
On deck, Danny,
You just left the hole
Now hit, Danny,
Home run, Danny –
Grand Slam Tartabull!
