Oh what a day
For Roy Halladay!
Just one pitch away
From perfect play!
He left the Reds
Shaking their heads,
Like walking dead,
longing for bed.
And Carlos Ruiz
From his knees,
If you please,
Tossed the last out 2-3.
Painting corners four
Like Benjamin Moore (TM),
Doc slammed the door
On the Redleg corps.
What might come next
Is anyone’s guess.
Doc seems untaxed–
Are THREE no-nos too much to ask?
This year? No.
