Twins at Boston. Twins 4, Boston 2.
Yesterday our bats were flailing,
And off our bullpen the balls were sailing.
Oh it was hard
When Nomar went yard,
And the Twins, they sure were ailing.
One loss, or the start of a streak?
Two-in-a-row would make Batgirl feel bleak.
But, lo! three singles in a row
Off starter Derek Lowe
A promising beginning it did bespeak.
Two double plays, the Twins tried to hit in,
Yet defensive practice the BoSox failed to fit in;
Just a force out for Corey,
Another for Torii,
And two runs in scorecards were writ in.
A lead for me! Silva shouted with a cackle,
Though this Boston line-up is hard to tackle.
Manny, Ortiz, and Nomar
Can hit the ball hard and far
But I fear not, I am Carlos the Jackal!
A walk here, a hit thereit does not matter
As long as you get out the next batter.
To Joe Roa and to Aaron,
This lesson Ill be sharin
Its better when the baserunners you scatter.
But a 2-0 lead, is it enough?
That Boston line-up is awfully tough;
Bellhorn dines on yak
And its horsemeat for Varitek
While the Twins eat marshmallow fluff.
Then Johnny Unfrozen Cave Man Damon
On a Corey hit, too far he came in.
On his beard he did trip,
From his glove the ball drip'd,
And to Corey, a double they gave him.
Then up to bat came Torii;
On the first pitch he saw his quarry.
The ball, he did bean
Over the Monster that is Green
Think hell get some ESPN glory?
But that wasnt the only homer tonight
Boston, they did give Silva a fright
Long went Bellhorn, then Nixon
On another win the Sox were fixin
But, oh, our bullpen would end their night.
For on sauntered Boo Berry the Dominator,
And that hard slider did beautifully crater.
I pity the foo
Who faces our precious Boo--
He turned the Mighty Sox into playa haters.
Our closer then came on to pitch
And, sure, that lead-off double was a glitch
But then the Sox went down, one two three
And in the dugout, they all did agree
Count Choculas fastballs a bitch.
That was a good win, said Gardy
My boys, you were steadfast and hardy.
We should get to bed soon,
We face Wakefield at noon
But right now, my Twins, lets party.
