On three teams left in playoffs are three
Recent A’s playing prominently:
Donaldson, Ben Zobrist
Cespedes. Â A’s fans pissed,
While “Money Ball’s” playoffs’ MVP.
No-Win Situation
by Hilary Barta
On fun New York Mets put a damper
Scored runs, across home they did scamper
The post-season plans
Now toast for the fans
Their “W” rags in the hamper.

Victory Lapped Up
by Hilary Barta
It’s brutal, New York in a sweep
Our beautiful dreams in a heap
St. Louis, detested,
Chicago had bested
But swept by the Mets? What the bleep!
———————–
Each step that the Cubbies had made
Champagne in the clubhouse was sprayed
But now all the fun
Brut showers are done
For losing they hold no parade.
———————-
The unknowns on the Cubs have made gains
But have shown that some work still remains
On youth the team’s based
And a truth must be faced:
With growing there always comes pains.
Have We Met Before?
by Stephen Jones
The Mets played inspired baseball tonight,
But a census taker needs second sight:
Why is it that when the local team wins,
Everybody grew up ten minutes away?
In New York right now, everyone’s from Queens
And on a first name with the ghosts of Shea.
Friendlier, Warmer Confines
by Hilary Barta
At Citi the Cubs were defeated
Their pitching and bats weren’t heated
Their sizzle thus chilled,
They fizzled, were stilled
To Wrigley they now have retreated.
