Bird's x-rays are negative, and so is this rhyme

They say Greg Bird is hitting.
His bat has come alive.
They say this year he'll be it.
(I'll believe this when I see it.)


They say that Sevy's healing.
His shoulder feeling fine.
No need to amputee it. 
(I'll believe this when I see it.) 

Talk turns to Luis Cessa.
Superlatives, they spray.
His fastball, he can free it.
(I'll believe this when I see it.)

And Hicks out there in center?
His back is a-okay.
No need to absentee it.
(I'll believe this when I see it.)


Just another spring in Tampa.
All worries put to sleep.

And to all, I guarantee it:
I'll believe this when I see it.

P.S. Monday, we each project our number of Yankee wins in 2019. Get out your abacus.

With Boone in the dugout.
and Cashman at the controls.
It's plain for all to see it,
2019 will be a pile of shee-it.

Honestly, if you had told me three months ago that a week before opening day I would CARE what Greg Bird was up to, I'd have called you crazy. I consider this a good problem to have. Personally I've already been assuming the kid's career is done, his development too screwed up, so if he flops now I won't be too disappointed. There's only upside from here on out.

GOTTA GET ALL MY "COOP ALGORITHM'S" AND SYSTEMS IN PLACE FOR MONDAY.

THIS YEAR SEEMS ULTRA-TOUGH TO PREDICT. (I GUESS EVERY YEAR IS)....

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN EASY EARLY SCHEDULE, BUT WE ALL KNOW, THAT DOESN'T MATTER WITH US. WE PLAY JUST AS SHITTY AGAINST BALTIMORE THAN ANY OTHER DECENT TEAM.

PLUS, WE KINDA SUCK AGAINST THE RAYS, (AND THEY LOOK TO BE A LITTLE BETTER THIS YEAR).

ALONG WITH ALL THESE INJURIES?

SIGH.....

Hilarious, Duques! Why DON'T they run baseball poems anymore in the sports pages? I know, I know: they've been gone for almost a century now. That doesn't mean they shouldn't come back!
