An overweight pitcher named Russ
Made Diamondbacks fans swear and cuss.
Paid eight million to hurl,
He threw like a girl.
We wish he’d fall under a bus.

The 100-Year Dream (Cubs)
by Tim McClure
100 will soon be here,
‘08 to ‘08 we do fear,
A ‘45 goat or ‘69 cat,
Durham’s glove or a fan’s catch,
Bone the curse, don’t wait for next year!
Some say with a goat we were cursed,
Some say it’s an error at first,
Black cats with the Mets,
Or Bartman’s bad catch–
I fear the Cubs are the worst.
The series I wish they could win,
For naught now it seems like a sin,
They’ve tried for so long,
It’s the same old song,
Who’ll ever see it, my kin?
They’ve won! I can’t believe it!
In the ninth with a home run hit!
We’ve waited so long,
The field is a throng,
I just woke up… Oh S**t!
The Red Sox did it four years ago,
The White Sox were next in line to glow,
We thought we were next,
Our muscles were flexed,
But our Cubs missed their turn in the show.
There’s a dream that’s been dreamt for awhile,
That we’d smoke the Cardinals with style.
We’d tromp ’em real good,
Like we know we should.
This Cub’s dream isn’t wicked nor vile.
There was an old team called the Cubs,
Who for years have looked just like subs.
They’ve tried to get better,
But have seemed in fetters,
‘Cause the curse has left all those flubs.

Today, Tomorrow, Next Year!
by Nate
There once was a team from Kansas City
That other fans always seemed to pity.
“They show up some nights.”
And mostly they’re right.
About Sluggerr they think, “Just a kitty.”
But MY Royals and theirs aren’t the same.
I live and die with every game.
My boys always fight,
And light up the night.
Of my Royals I am not ashamed.
Things will be different next year.
A winning season is oh so near.
To crops, they’re the cream.
And it won’t be a dream
To toast a championship with a beer!

Two from Millie Bovich
 Statistics required perusal
And then came a full-fledged accusal.
Some numbers do lie
Take a look at the guy,
They’ve proven a B. Bonds bamboozle!
Barry Bonds! He’s the muscle-bound Giant
With the rules, he is just non-compliant.
He comes extra large size
Check his biceps and thighs,
And his manner is somewhat defiant!

Barry Bonds Limerick #16
by NaryBarry
Barry Bonds is a fearsome home run hitter
Who sends all his fans into quite a twitter.
His manhood has not shrunk
From that steroid junk–
Maybe the judge will be an acquiter.
