Inter-League Play (Going My Way?)
by Stephen Jones
The bells are ringing for inter-league play -
A diet staple, just like a holiday.
What was once a summer oddity
Is now regular baseball commodity,
Some match-ups enhance old rivalries -
Like Mets/Yankees, a subway series.
Others are fuel for the ongoing fire -
To DH or not? That argument doesn’t tire.
To Judy and Der Bingle – my apologies.
Baseball is fathomless, with twisting eddies.
It continues, Zeus-like, with cosmic mystery
Ordaining: The AL keeps its singularity.
At Long Last, Hu
by Jim Siergey
Bud Abbott befuddled poor Lou
With bit about first baseman Who.
. What once was absurd
. Today has occurred
“Hey, Abbott! On first base is Hu!”
For the picture that Abbott & Costello never lived to see, as well as a great modern retelling of their classic routine, check out this post by PeteyHendrix at Red Reporter.
What Matt Harvey Is and Could Be
By Stu Shea
The possibility of spring,
The pristine arm
Has ‘em on a string,
With no elbow damage
And no harm
The Mets’ good luck charm
The golden child,
Good fastball, good poise
And not wild.
Lots of noise
From da NYC,
They’re never mild
When they’ve got a live one
Who hasn’t yet even begun.

BRAVES
Georgia is the world’s
Top pecan supplier. Plus
Andrelton Simmons
MARLINS
Why is a fish tank
So fascinating to watch?
Billion-dollar chum.
METS
No, it’s not a joke!
Cowgill and Valdespin are
In center field now
NATIONALS
Unnatural arm,
Unbelieveable results–
Can Strasburg stay fit?
PHILLIES
The old and infirm
Are the last to know that they
Are old and infirm
