Yankees 6, KC 3

by Stephen Jones

Yankee fans, are you Happ-y?
J.J. Happ showed he’s worth the penny.
The trade with Toronto worked out fine:
Six solid innings of the power kind.
But before you go all future-mental,
Just remember this: He’s still a rental.

 

Bronx Bombers’ Spiral

by Stephen Jones

The Yankees’ five-game slide–
It’s hard to explain the why.
I can point to lack of hustle…
Or maybe it’s lack of team muscle.

Yogi’d say, “It’s something mental.”
Anyway, one thing’s for certain:

If I had a nickel for every man
That they’ve left on base,
I could afford to sit myself down
Behind home plate.

Lopsided baseball?
Call it “beat’em to a pulp”
Or AL East Race
