Gut Check

by Michael X. Ferraro

The Dodgers seemed doomed to go belly-up.
But that changed in the 8th, with Belly up.
Their future’s wide open, like Cooper Kupp.
Will this dormant volcano now erupt?

 

NLCS Clerihews

Julio Urias
Was all out of gas
Davey Roberts lost his senses
Should’nt have used him from the ‘penses.

Joc Pederson
Lined up a heater and
Hit a homer like a frozen rope
Then had his mouth washed out with soap.

Corey Seager
Was very eager
To have a starring defensive role
Now his team’s two games in the hole.

 

Rephusing to Phold

by Michael X. Ferraro

These Phillies keep digging holes deep.
The bullpen is more like bull(bleep).
Yet Bryce Harper’s swing,
That magical thing,
May yet make Atlanta fans weep.

All-Star Clerihews 3: Thundering Fury

Mike Trout
An All-Star, but out,
A parallel, I suppose,
To his post-season career with the Halos.

Ozzie Albies
Likes to trek through the tall trees
And ask the numberless stars
How many Ozzies there are.

Carlos Rodón
Has got it goin’ on
Non-tendered after 2020
Now mowing down batters like el jefe.

Buster Posey
Doesn’t want to be nosey
But just wants to know that
You’re gonna finish eating that?

 

“You Can’t Possibly Think That”

by James Finn Garner

When the ASG did Manfred abort,
“Job creators” took baseball to court.
“Irreparable harm”?
The judged marked their smarm
And mocked how their case came up short.

“To say that the legal underpinnings of this lawsuit are weak and muddled is an understatement.”
