Braun Song
by Stephen Jones
Ryan Braun’s song not too sweet
now if PEDs holds true.
So much for amazing stats.
I’m just not amazed anymore,
maybe jaundiced . . . or just in wonder.
2013 NL Central Prediction Haiku
By Stuart Shea
CHICAGO
A brand-new playpen?
That’s just a distraction for
Your crumbling bones.
CINCINNATI
As we get older
We learn to use our wisdom.
What’s Dusty’s excuse?
MILWAUKEE
I’d walk a mile for
A Gamel–a healthy one.
Now: power outage.
PITTSBURGH
Brand new calendar,
Same old days. Same old people.
Same old misery.
ST. LOUIS
Another spring, a
Young man in charge–well, young by
Managing standards…
Bullpen Woes
by Doug Fahrendorff
In Milwaukee
A year ago
Late inning leads
Meant Brewer victories
Ax and K-Rod
Were automatic
This season
Bullpen in disarray
No lead safe
Frustrated fans wonder
What happened
To yesterdays heroes
Homer Most Foul (Deep Thoughts with Carlos Gomez)
by Michael X. Ferraro
I lead off the game with a blast to the stands.
Easing into a trot, I’m clapping my hands.
The headlines will read “A Tone-Setting Hero”!
But … hey, why’s the scoreboard still stuck on zero?
