King Kong Swingman

by Hilary Barta

That Kingman was strong there’s no doubt
His bat could deliver a clout
Each swing for the fences
Could dazzle the senses
More often than not, he struck out.

Doing Their Part

by James Finn Garner

Jacob DeGrom
Lathers his palms

Rollie Fingers
Doesn’t linger

CJ Cron
Is exercising alone

Brandon Inge
Practices social distancinge

And Tim Tebow
Sneezes and coughs into his elbow.

Scandal Roster

by  Matt Sussman (@suss2hyphens)

A.J. Hinch, crossed the line
Luhnow gone, heavy fine
Draft picks lost, rings are not
Owner sad for getting caught
Crane denied part in team’s
Making up the banging scheme
Taubman censured in the text
Cora, Beltran might be next

Believe in Mookie

by Mookie Wilson

“When I’m in a slump
I comfort myself
by saying if
I believe in dinosaurs
then
somewhere
they must be believing in me
and if
they believe in me
then
I can believe in me.

Then I bust out.”
