For right now, Chris is a no-Sale.
Red Sox say: 10 days on the DL
For an inflamed shoulder situation,
And rest being the best prescription.
But Beantown should take some heart:
In reality, it’s only 1 start.
All-Star Clerihews
Corey Kluber
Ain’t such a goober
As to respond to missives
From Nigerian princes.
Ross Stripling
Loves his Rudyard Kipling.
After arguing with umpires,
He enjoys stories of empire.
Alex Bregman
Claims he is the Eggman,
But we all know Elvis Andrus
Is the Walroos.
Mookie Betts
Is as good as it gets
At patiently giving curves a look-see,
and also at being named Mookie.

Yankees 8, Red Sox 1
Red Sox 11, Yankees 0
Yankees 11, Red Sox 1
Lopsided baseball?
Call it “beat’em to a pulp”
Or AL East Race
Yankees 3, Red Sox 2

Severino got unlucky,
But looked brilliant anyway.
Judge showed off his arm:
A laser-strike to second base.
And Stanton left Boston staring:
He uncorked 2 home runs.

Th’ Red Sox had been ahn a teah
Winnin’ games ovah heah, ovah theah
No team lahk ’em befoah–
Whoa, Katie, bah the doah!
Til a no-no by Oakland’s Manaea.
