by Hilary Barta
They were losing so nobody spoke
No schmoozing, no boasting, no joke
.   From the bench not a mention
.   Just a clenching from tension
No boos heard in Boston, just “Choke!”
A Long Winter in Twinkie Town
by James Finn Garner
Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau
Had miserable seasons, and so
.   The Twins are now heading
.   Into future rough sledding
In the land of the ice and the snow.
Chillinois, You Put Me in a Frozen State
by Hilary Barta
There’s a pall on the breeze in the air
Though there’s ball, for the freeze they prepare
.   In Chicago the fans
.   make their long winter plans
as they fall on their knees in despair
The Daze of September
by Hilary Barta
Remember the promise of Spring?
In September those memories sting
.   But pros round the bases
.   And go through the paces
Condemned, they must play out the string
Hilary’s daily limericks on monsters, old movies and comics can be found at LimerWrecks.
Choice Cuts
by Jim Siergey
The choice is A. Dunn or A. Rios
Which one of them hurt the Sox the most?
.   This year they both stank
.   but one broke the bank
So, Alex, it’s Vaya con Dios
