What question?
Sorry, my scroll button won't work past all that green grass.

2 outs
The metaphor for diminished chance
And simultaneously
All the opportunity for revitalization in the world.
2 down
bottom of the ninth
the eleventh hour
on the emerald diamond-
down by three,
count 3 and 2,
Trot slashes a base hit passed the pitcher
Into Centerfield.
Next up-Varitek
He's been slumping for 2 weeks
But takes 4 straight balls for a walk,
Men on first and second.
Up comes Coco the Loco,
Lefty raps a blooper over the firstbasemans
Outstretched glove and the sacks are loaded,
As in pre-orgasmic swelling with voyueristic fans
On the edge of their seats in a porn theatre.
Up comes the number nine hitter
Shortstop Gonzalez, short and stocky
With a bat like big John Holmes,
He's a switchitter who can catch it as well as dish it-
Ball one
Ball two
Thats all he's got
Save for his free swinging slugger
Clutched in his two fisted grip-
"And its a deep gash to dead center,
Driving the center fielder back deeper and deeper,
To the warning track he quivers and hits the wall,
As the little white load spills over the fence,
GRAND SLAM HOMER
Sending the crowd into pandemonium,
Walk off Jack by the little big man from Guatamala"
I get up from my chair hold up my shiny fist-
Now can I get some Pizza all up in here?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
The Great American pastime comes thru again.
Good night Honey.

Fun thread Fly.
Ange REALLY is a huge baseball fan, and Ive brought her from the Dark Side (yankees) to the world of the Fenway faithful. She has the hots for Manny Ramirez.
It's his smoldering eyes. But you're cuter.
And I preferred the Mets and the Phillies and you know it!

second
spot,
Dostoevsky should hit
3rd,
Beethoven will definitely bat
clean-up,
Jeffers is in the 5th
spot,
Dreiser can hit
6th
and batting 7th

Boccaccio
and 8th the
catcher: Hemingway.
the pitcher?

fucking
ball.

At the risk of a PFD posse riding out to lynch me or at the very least beat me with corked bats (I read the sports page)........
“The boys of summer” sounds so romantic
sun-warmed grass and shady trees
hardly the stuff of things pedantic
but tanned young faces and pretty knees.
Truth be told they’re a brutal bunch
rich and idle, course and crude
baccy for brekkie and steroids for lunch
and no one told them that spitting is rude.
Not to diss your national sport
we have hockey – just as rough.
I’d rather sit at center court
and watch as Nadal struts his stuff.
Runs for the hills.
