Like Christmas a day
to be opened
bat and ball ball and bat
to argue in summer sunshine
disputing calls/balls on base
here/there and beer and brats
and then a quiet ride home

American League Central 2010 Haiku Forecasts
By Stuart Shea
WHITE SOX
A Putz in the ‘pen,
Another in the dugout,
Not just birds Twitter.
.
INDIANS
No more wedge issues.
It’s time to see just how good
This ballclub can be.
.
TIGERS
A brand new springtime?
Whatchoo talkin’ bout, Willis?
This is your autumn.
.
ROYALS
Inevitable
As tulips and tree pollen,
95 losses.
.
TWINS
Mauer power is
Ensured for many more moons
In the new playpen.

Football done
Except perhaps in New Orleans
Basketball nearly so
The carousel of seasons
Has turned again
Baseball,the harbinger of spring
Working it’s way north
Soon from playgrounds
To “The show”
A new seaon will begin
Play ball!

American League East 2010 Haiku Forecasts
By Stuart Shea
ORIOLES
Thousands of tweeters
Will talk of Matt Wieters while
Driving their beaters.
.
RED SOX
The spring mist rises
From the humid Fens again…
Wait, that’s fan B.O.
.
YANKEES
Autumn nears for A-
Rod, Mo, Jeter, Posada,
And, yes, Randy Winn.
.
RAYS
A young rotation,
Some MVP candidates,
A tough division.
.
BLUE JAYS
The center fielder
Needs to break his fall this spring–
Then all will be Wells.

Opening Day
by Stephen Jones
.
OK OK it’s time
for hardball and bat
for a smack! or a ding!
now Spring later Summer
beginning with
good-natured arguments
in hardbacked seats
speculations jostling
’til October
when the game really begins
.
