This Sunday the Cards
Will be nowhere to be found —
Guess I'll do some raking.

At a ballgame is the ump
Calling only strikes.

Three Points


Still it was rising
By the time it had landed —
Restless field goal.

No Time For Arizona


Bases loaded
And who's coming up?
Stephen Drew?

Red Sock Trio

"Don't hold the ball,"
Dad said.
"You're no Johnny Pesky."

Papelbon's "sludder" is not
An easy pitch to hit.

3
Soupy says,
"Bum rap on Pesky:
Slow relay, fast Slaughter."

For extra innings.
