Yankee Theater: “Macswat”

by Stephen Jones

“Bubble, bubble. Toil and …”
Nineteen home runs in three straight games.
Baseball records are being made
As The Bats of Endor have come together.
The Toronto Blue Jays went to Yankee Woods
And were swept away by The Thanes of Bronx.
Something awesome, something special,
Is going on in the Bronx.

ORIOLES
Reduce reuse rebuild
If prospects were wishes
They’d have a parade

RED SOX
Get us a ring, Chaim
Also below the tax cap
Beat the Yanks too, ‘kay?

YANKEES
Last year’s injured list
Now a memory–Ooops!
Judge sidelined again.

RAYS
D’Arnaud, Garcia
Are off to greener pastures
They still grow talent.

BLUE JAYS
Twenty-one hurlers
Keep switching battery out
Of blue muscle car.

 

Goose, Eh?

By Michael X. Ferraro

Verlander flung filth
and picked up his third
no-hitter (career),
a total absurd.

Toronto is now
marked twice on that list,
their Canadian
clubs rudely dismissed.
