Mythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.

Breaking haiku regiment
To wish you all some merriment
May your dreams of longed-for pennant
End in a series, heaven-sent
Joy and peace are in the air
Dice-K's stuffed in Sox with care;
'Tis a season filled with love
To imagine lineups, oil your glove
Losses past are bygone hist'ry
Next year's champs are yet a myst'ry
Gone are curses, once infernal
For even Cubbies, hope's eternal
Spring's the antidote to Fall
The time of robins and "Play ball!"
As every season is a sequel
So Spring Training's but a prequel
When every team and dream is equal
And faith belongs to one and all
So on a note that's warm and cheery
I'll close these eyes becoming weary
And wish you all from far away
The Merriest Possible Christmas Day!Comment

When it's as awesome as this
Thanks for the poemMythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones.

7 AM Christmas Eve
(An Ogden-Nash-ish Xmas Baseball Poem)
This ain't as good as Sandlot's verse
But not, I think, a whole lot worse
To Baseball fans here and a-broad
And all the players (even A-rod!)
From Tokyo to Panama's isthmus
A grand New Year and Happy Christhmus!
(Okay, you try to rhyme "Christmas" before you have had any caffeine!
)

Is but a snap for Vt-SOX
Metred rhyme or verse that's free
She decorates like Christmas tree
She churns it out I know not how
So c'mon Annie take a bough
And with a big grin sing with us
Isthmus, schmisthmus,
Merry Christhmus!Comment
