Don Wakamatsu, he
Told Chone Figgins, “Hit the showers.”
Figgins, a la Hong Kong Phooey,
Showed how he can hit for power.
Tie the skipper to the mast,
Seattle’s ship is sinking fast.

Or even earns his keep.
The one thing that Ken Griffey’s earned
Is a nice long sleep.

American League West 2010 Haiku Forecasts
By Stuart Shea
ANGELS
Rich Latino woos
White fans who usually hire
Latino workmen.
ATHLETICS
Moneyball’s sunset
Means the lineup now includes
Kevin Kouzmanoff.
MARINERS
Hey, Jack Z….that nut
That fell off the hitting tree?
He’s your problem now.
RANGERS
Sweet spring robins’ song
May sound suspiciously like
“Neftali Feliz.”

Old “Forgive and Forget” Bradley
By James Finn Garner
.
Because a hitter’s supposed to get hits,
Lou called Miltie a big piece of shit.
With a new gig in Seattle,
Milt’s still fighting old battles,
Showing the world that this shoe still fits.

Pay-Rod left our town
To seek fame and great fortune
Pity his poor choices
