Summer savings is everyone’s goal
Blowing saves over time can get old
A bullpen redo
Might pull your team through
How clever are you with your payroll?
Brian Snitker’s Lucky Day
By James Finn Garner
This clip turned my knees into jelly
As Snitker took one “not on the belly”
But saved was the skip
From glandular rip
By the belt corralling his potbelly.
Handle with Care

A foul tip off the bat of Cub Happ
Made a trip into Iván Herrera’s lap
He wasn’t maimed
Even finished the game
Though later his pips were bubble wrapped.
My New Hero
by James Finn Garner
Asked to name what was surprising
In the U.S., Shōta, surmising,
Said that by far
‘Twas while in the car
You can turn right on red while you’re driving.
“Shota, what has been the most surprising thing about life in America off the field in your short time here in the USA?”
Shōta: “The biggest surprise for me has been that even on a red light, I can take a right.”

Go Get ‘Em, Tigers
by Millie Bovich
In baseball news, I’ve got a hunch
That the Tigers will finish first, that bunch.
Mistakes of the past
They will remedy fast
And there’s no more saying, “They’re out to lunch!”
