These words fill pitchers’ hearts with woe:
“Now batting, Marco Scutaro.”
Handles all fastballs, high and low.
Small guy, big wheelhouse — Scutaro.
Way less hype than Robby Cano,
but this October stole the show.
The gas that makes the Giants go,
He’s like Cody Ross 2.0.
Take him out with a savage blow?
You’ll pay the price — not Scutaro.

Nice.
Only a bard like Ferraro
Could capture all the ebb and flow
The pathos, bathos, give and go,
The up and down and dosey-doh,
In such a sage and lyric flow
(It ain’t so easy, don’t you know
This stanza here just goes to show
it’s proof enough, quid pro bono)
about that crazy hazy bro-
That baseball genius Scutaro.
