Stephen Jones – Page 18

Nationals 15, Mets 0

After the onslaught —
14 runs in 2 innings —
Citi Field empty

Yankee bats win big
But still trail Boston by 9
Time … time running out

Your Honor,

I am here on behalf of citizenry
Who often see baseball chicanery
When it comes to the unwritten rules:

‘Tis better to plunk a batter right off,
Rather than let him show his stuff
And hit for the grandstand aisles.

Red Sox sweep Yankees
Blues being sung in the Bronx
Wild card game looms large

For right now, Chris is a no-Sale.
Red Sox say: 10 days on the DL
For an inflamed shoulder situation,
And rest being the best prescription.

But Beantown should take some heart:
In reality, it’s only 1 start.
