Winning Waste

by Hilary Barta

The bullpen looks quartered and drawn
And wither the magic, the brawn?
No lead can be held
Do they train or just geld?
The Cubs’ winning mojo’s done gone.

Bauer Sours

by James Finn Garner

“I don’t really miss a lot about Cleveland.”
What Trevor Bauer says may be true
And after his hissy fits and
Hurling the ball to the outfield and
Arguing with a young fan on Twitter and
Getting that fan stalked by death threats and
Notching a plus-8 ERA with the Reds…

Maybe Cleveland feels the same about you.

Sic ‘Em, Wick

By James Finn Garner

Just when the ‘pen looked most sick
The Cubs called up Rowan Wick.
While Holland and Strop
Will murder all hope
This broomstick’s the hot pick to click.
