When the Giants added beltin’ Beltran,
Bruce Bochy said, “Now I’ve got enough!”
Buster struck a curious Posey
And Aubrey walked out in a Huff.
20-6, 7/25/11

Twenty runs the Rangers scored,
Seven of them had three hits.
Every arm the Twins ran out there
Gave Ron Gardenhire the shits.
Dick Williams: Still Pushing (RIP)
by James Finn Garner
When Oakland’s Swingin’ A’s were swingin’,
A hard-playing, mustachioed team–
Williams quit after winning two titles.
The skipper never changed or mellowed
In Expos white or Padres yellow.
Old-school grit, speed and defense vital.
Angels in heaven might hear him scream,
“You with the harp! You call that singin’?”
The Dodgers May Be Bankrupt
by Stephen Jones
The Dodgers may be bankrupt
But the team is not Frank McCourt
Player personnel should not be
Argued part of personal finance
Or a sticking part of ugly divorce
But he’s twined off-the-field calamity
With baseball history
And proved successfully
Frank McCourt is truly
A “dodger” financially
Bradbury-ed in the Standings
by Jim Siergey
From Ozzie, this buzz—
“If my ‘firemen’
give up one more iffy run,
I’ll know it’s because
they’ve been reading
Farenheit 451.”
