The Pale Hose play in a town second-fiddle
To a team content to finish in the middle.
World Titles have escaped them
Though their yard, what a gem!
Fans love the Cubs, an inexplicable riddle!

The Incomparable Chase Utley
by David Margolis
.
There is a young Phils fan from Nutley
Who roots for his team, and not subtly:
“I’ve a shrine in my home
And I’d write them a poem
But there’s nothing the rhymes with Chase Utley.”

Ned Yost, Done Like Rump Roast

Milwaukee’s head honcho Ned Yost
Led his teams to October–almost.

Didn’t prove a pa-NA-cea,
Ned’s career with the Brewers was toast.

NL East Limerick
by Mac Thomason
There once was a manager named Willie,
Who drove all the tabloid writers silly.
But what’s really funny
Is that with all their money
The Mets finished after Atlanta and Philly.
You can see more of Mac Thomason’s writing at his blog, Bravesjournal.com.

Ode to the Pontiff
By Doug White
The Pope in his big funny hat
Gave mass where Joe Torre once sat
A little old lady
Said, “Well yea, but maybe
What would Ron Blomberg say about that?”
