The game..

..is tied, inning number eight,
someone has a chance to do something great,
the Red Sox have the bases loaded two times,
can't think of a word for #@#& that rhymes.

Oki, wasn't Oki-Doki, not this time around,
now Dan Bard, tries, to put them in the ground;
he's a good pitcher, but he's throwing them inside,
he struck the last batter out, now he has kept his pride.

It's the ninth inning coming up, the Sox are up to bat,
Big Youk, struck out,  Drew hit the ball, no good, drat!
Now the side has struck out, Oakland comes up next,
I hope there are no runs, but the Sox are hexed.

The first two hit grounders, both of them are out,
next come Davis, worry, he has a lot of clout,
Ramirez throws the ball, and Davis take a walk,
Pennington is up, Davis steals a base, fly ball now, this isn't idle talk.

It takes a lot of time, to do this play by play,
going to the tenth, I hope it won't last all day,
Cameron draw a walk, Patterson pinch runner,
a grounder, oh no, double play, hope this don't last all summer.

Dusty Brown at bat, let's see what he does,
he hit a single, Scutaro pop up, there ain't no buzz.
It's Oakland turn at bat, don't give up a run,
Crisp strikes out, but, Barton hit a single, to second on the run.

Now Suzuki gets an intentional walk,
pitcher change, Richardson in, let's talk,
two men on base, a dangerous situation,
will have to hope Richardson has some inspiration.

Rosales out on strikes, another pitching change,
Bowden in to pitch, I hope he keeps his range;
Kouzmanoff gets a hit, and it wasn't caught,
ten innings of baseball, alas all for naught.

It would have been and ideal time to win,
Yankees and Tampa lost, Sox would be in the race again.
But, that's the way it goes, through wins and losses,
too bad that's not the way that people choose their bosses.

Have a good day.
