 LOOK INTO MY EYES
KNOW THAT I DON'T REALLY CARE
NOW PLEASE, GO AWAY . . .

The season is through.
Ballparks empty of Haikus.
Can we do limericks?

Doug K. said...

There once was an owner named Hally.
Who refused to fire his pally.
Though his team building sucked
and the fans all felt fucked...
All Hal cared about was his tally.

Perfecto

How about national anthems?


O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all of us command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

There once was a bootlick named Brian
Whose trading set New York a crying
He emptied the farm for a bunch of sore arms and now we lie silently, dying

Doug K. said...

Good one.

And for a hike you...

Unlike what Cone says
I can't root for the laundry
Just Donnie Baseball

If the fans of this blog are at a Yankee game and Hal is there, Boo Him!

Hinkey Haines said...

Boo him? We held up a sign demanding he sell the team (I’d post the picture if I could)…

Boone is an idiot for sure
Like a disease for which there's just not a cure
I ask what have we done
To deserve such a bum
This seed spitting, rank amateur

A team owner named Hal has said, " Fuck it"
I'll move my AAA team to Nantucket
He said to Cashman, "You can stay"
As long as with my genitals you play
And do as ordered when I say " Suck it"

Nice - and what I discovered after trying for two hours today is that NOTHING rhymes with "Harold."

HoraceClarke66 said...

Not, "caroled"?

Doug K., great limerick, and interesting anecdote about Dr. Smith.

O Peerless One, great summary of our present plight. YES, the Yankees have been one player short for years. Always always always because Brian Cashman has failed to judge talent, or because Hal Steinbrenner won't pay for it. It's the perfect combination for futility...

HoraceClarke66 said...

I will say this, even though I am not a Giants fan: that team has found a quarterback. Yeah, he made a couple of rookie mistakes on Sunday. But coming back after them, and scoring what SHOULD have been the game-winning touchdown? That was impressive.

If the Jints have any sense, they'll give Dabol and some of the front office their walking papers—the defense and the sub kicker were both Cashmanic disgraces—but that Jaxson Dart kid can play. He is one of the few beacons of hope here in Loser City.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Oh—and since I know the world is waiting to hear this: gotta root for the Blue Jays, a bunch of stupid louts who I thoroughly despise. Gotta root for the Red Army team if they're playing the Dodgers. I even rooted for the Red Sox against them back in 2018.

I think I saw about five innings of that World Series. Don't know if I can make it past one pitch in this one.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Oh, and Duque, the Trump ballroom—and planned arch—have given me inspiration and purpose. I am determined to live long to see both of them torn down and hauled to the dump once that vicious clown is out of office.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Incidentally, a friend of mine says "Dodgers in three." Sounds about right.
