Poetic Tim

The Arches of Doom.
Red Birds ready for the kill.
All hope rests with Tim.

Our team "needs" a win,
Big load on a tiny frame.
Bring on "The Franchise."

A lineup from hell.
What did I do to cause it?
Gad zukes, Ray bats fourth!?!

Double plays abound,
Aaron gets 2 RBI's.
The Gamer goes deep!!!

Trouble in the fourth-
Albert and Rick play the fool.
Tim sez "Swing, miss, sit."

Three up after six.
Timmy's new slider's da bomb.
Can he seal the deal?

No runs; best this year.
Seven innings once again.
Vintage Enchanter.

Yawn, another win.
One thing's for sure, my friend:

WE ARE NOT WORTHY!

(All responses are welcome, but poetic entries are strongly encouraged. I picked haiku because it is so easy and sometimes they come out great.)

Free Prose

This is not the end of the Haiku contest! We need more entries!

First the bad news on the weekend. Durham a lock at second, and then today, from the Chron, Aurilia at first. One spot left for our "rebuilding program"? In better news, read at Lefty Malo, from Chicago, the Giants apparently offered Dave Roberts to the Pale Hose along with Scott Williamson and Randy Messenger for Joe Creede. The White Sox wanted more, or more appropriately, someone else. Good thinking, though, shipping Roberts out!

All Out.....All Season

All out...of patience?
All out...of breath?
All out...of the closet?
All out...of time?
All out...of reasons?
All out...of excuses?
All out...of options?
All out...of shape?
All out...of hope?
All out...of the picture?
All out...of their minds?
All out...and about?
All out...in the field?
All out...of money?
All out...of sense?
All out...all in?

Inspire Our Team!

In an effort to not dwell on Spring Training, (yes that means Timmy sucked so I don't want to talk about it) I thought I might try to stimulate our artistic juices. Perhaps this will inspire our boys to take a break from their quest to establish new levels of incompetence ( and fan anxiety).
Towards this end, it is time for the annual Spring Training Haiku Contest. The winner earns a free subscription to RMC (internet connection required).

Here goes nuthin'...

The cactus wither,
Arizona taps our hope,
Good thing we're gamers

Benjie batting fourth?
Centerfielders at all spots?
Sabean has job?

Defense, pitching, speed
Giants have it all this year
Monkeys out my butt

Gulls sob and wind chills
One hundred twenty losses
Long, cold, hard summer

Gee, I guess this might not be too inspirational.... Maybe you guys can do better.
