Postseason baseball
time for unlikely heroes
in the autumn chill
Haiku for the Cubs
by Phil Passen
With one run per game
A team will win no glory
End of sad story
Game 163
by Stephen Jones
You have Brewers/Cubs
And you have Dodgers/Rockies
Season’s end extras
Playoff My Last Nerve
by Hilary Barta
Two playoffs to see who’s the best
One game decides East, one the West
Statistical parity
Or sadistic hilarity?
A maniac deity’s jest?
Fit to Be Tied
by Raphael Badagliacca
Can a wild card get any wilder?
Can a tie be tied in more knots than this?
That a game of inches becomes the reason
Four teams get the chance to play
Another game of inches
To win or lose a season?
