Dodge Main belches soot.

Winter Meetings blues.
Gray twi-nighter — Disney sucks.
Pestilential swamp.

Detroit Tigers Haiku No. 1

Legless catchers spawn
Famously angry peaches.
Hay market/Hey, Michigan!

Detroit Tigers Haiku No. 2

Wahoo Sam divides
Matty Mac from Cobb the Peach.
The loon shrieks “Ee-yah.”

Detroit Tigers Haiku No. 3

Hank’s Hebrew hammer
Batters crystal hatred…knocked
To green fields beyond.

Tampa Bay Haiku No. 1

In God’s waiting room
The Sea hatches unholy
Bottom-feeding Rays.

Tampa Bay Haiku No. 2

Satanic rays swim
‘Round rev’nue-sharing sinkhole.
Damn Yanks; damn Red Sox.

Tampa Bay Haiku No. 3

Naimoli mantra:
Vinnie, we hardly knew ye.
Gale force storm brewing.

Tampa Bay Haiku No. 4

Even St. Peter
Could not make juice from concrete.
Bayside disaster.

Opening Day. Green.
April grass: green. Ballpark, green.
Fans’ hearts red—heads blue.
