Nicky and Bryce

By James Finn Garner

With apologies to Robert Frost

Some say the game will end with Nicky,
Some say Bryce.
From what I’ve seen of players gritty
I hold with those who favor Nicky.
But if it had to happen twice,
Say, if the game was going late,
I know that for destruction Bryce
Is also great
And would suffice.

Twice Bitten, Once Shy

A/K/A Snakes to be You

by Michael X. Ferraro

It was just what the Diamondbacks dreaded–
a split double-header, yet they got beheaded.
