Shaw & Shark on sports: April Agonistes

Chris Shaw

Adam stood in the box
For Strike-out Number twenty-three,
Fanned out, for numero twenty-four;
Twenty-five he could see for free.
Strasburg, now he smugly throws
practice tosses, so unmindful(it seems)
Of his mounting losses!
Espo, You’ll just have to go-go,
If your on base ‘pee-cee-tee,’
Grows any more lo-low.
So it is with our delicate Nats.
What rictus is it,
That e’en freezes their Bats?
In the recent home stand
We appeared to retake command,
By snatching a trio from the
Dreaded Reds, Yet
in the fourth game of the series,
Once again- Dead.
With a nod to Chaucer, give us
A mighty Ball Tosser,
Thus rending to the showers
Rodriguez, Storen and Haren:
Pitchers without powers!
In May’s bright resumption of Atlanta league war;
Davey needn’t shed alibis nor apologia.
Nevermore!!
