When Aaron Judge gets hot

Thar's many a way to judge the Yanks
To love them or to not,

But trust me, boy, thar's hell to pay
When Aaron Judge gets hot.


It might not happen in July,
And August oft brings rot,
But son, you'll kiss ten balls goodbye
When Aaron Judge gets hot.


We cannot know the final frame,
Uncertainty? A lot!

But bet the Yankees in the game
When Aaron Judge gets hot.

Do we now start convincing ourselves that 6 games is plenty of time to hit 62? He's only 12 off and if he hits them at the pace he has set the past two games he'll make it.

You sir are a true Bard. I've always enjoyed your work. (Seriously, I bought
"O Holy Cow" when it first came out) So, humbly and in tribute I submit the following...


There once was a man named Girardi
Whose binders decide who will starty.
Doesn’t matter who’s hot
Or what number’s their spot
If in Vaudeville, “Start Laurel. Sit Hardy.”

John Sterling has signature calls
When someone goes over the wall
They’re clever and fun
But I’m waiting for one
That’s sponsored by a local mall.

A. Judge and Sanchez and Bird
Hit HRs at a pace that’s absurd
They reach the top deck
Till the balls just a speck
And the carom can scarcely be heard.

El Chapo can hit one-oh-two
And there’s not much a batter can do
Still it’s over the plate
And the ball comes in straight
So, it goes out at 122.

So the Bombers can print playoff tix.
Cause we’re well on the way to be fixed.
Yet it’s Cashman we’ll blame
If we lose the one game.
I’m not ready to root for the Knicks.
