Yorman’s Back!
By Stuart Shea
They couldn’t keep him down!
He’s back for another round.
The guy with the funny name
Has another chance at fame.
Make sure to fill out a brand new dance card-o!
Last night saw the return of Yorman Bazardo!

Game Update! by James Finn Garner
In his debut with the Astros — “Howdy there, Pard-o!” –
Yorman left the Fish battered and scarred-o
(Though with 10 hits, they might have starred-o).
Our young stud of his dignity keeps a shard-o.
When the ‘Stros play the Phils next, wherever the yard-o,
Yorman will hoist those Phools on their own petard-o!

A Cub Fan Reflects on the Astros
by Tim Souers
I wish the Astros all of the worst.
I find myself happy when they’re not in first.
With his dancing so flirty,
I wish Jose Valverde
Caught a cleat and his ligaments burst.

National League Central 2009 Haiku Forecasts
by Stuart Shea
CUBS
Spring wish, autumn dreams
Green of youth and rust of age
Hope is…Kevin Gregg?
BREWERS
Prince Fielder’s a veg.
The racing sausages can
Rest easy all summer.
ASTROS
Bummer! Bits of sun
Are all that Minute Maid Park
Will see this season.
CARDINALS
Converted Skippy
Will be a sitting pigeon
For one hard slide.
REDS
Screw Dusty Baker!
The Reds have enough talent
To win despite him.
PITTSBURGH
Winter’s not the time
To start rebuilding a house
With no foundation.
