Among Omar Infante’s dislikes
Must be incoming baserunners – Yikes!
To dodge getting maimed
Cost the Bengals the game —
One of inches, and feet wearing spikes.

The play of the year?
No error, the throw not a blunder,
The slide took poor O out from under
To second Al zipped,
Infante was tripped,
And the Tigers’ had hopes rent asunder.
Amazing how slim the margin between success and error were in that play.
Unlike, say, DeWayne Wise’s base-running in the 8th.
Very much so.
