Chicago, Chicago, That Toddlin’ Town

By David Bellel

Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin’ town
Those Chisox, those Chisox, they play like they’re clowns
Bet your bottom dollar even AJ could have won in Chicago, Chicago,
The town where poor Adam Dunn got shut down

On West 35th Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things they don’t do on Broadway
Ozzie had the time, the worst time of his life
His bats went dead, unlike his hot-looking wife
In Chicago, Chicago, Joe Girardi’s home town

Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin’ town
Chicago, Chicago the Yanks will toss them around – we love it
Bet your bottom dollar Hughes will lose his blues in Chicago, Chicago,
The town where for six innings even he shut them down

On West 35th Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things they don’t do on Broadway
Ozzie had the time, the worst time of his life
His bats went dead, unlike his hot-looking wife
In Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Joe Girardi’s home town

Time To Tell . . . Or Not

by Stephen Jones

Roger Clemens says “I’ll walk”
to clustered eager media
leaving court prosecution balked
warned by a bench previous

Know the rules
don’t fudge the facts
just prove the act

(& steroids run to trivia
rupturing historia)

Now $10 Million of trial prep
taxpayer dollars up in smoke
Clemens amid hollers walks
backdoor to Cooperstown

 

The House That Ruth Ate

by Hilary Barta

To the bleachers a finger was pointed
With a homer the Babe was anointed
.    The fat patron saint
.    of a lack of restraint
His appetite came double-jointed.
