And now it's September,....

...and we must remember;

the spirit of each fall,
all eyes are on the baseball.

Some teams at the top have a chance,
of making the series, the big dance,
so with each ball a pitcher may fling,
will increase or diminish a chance for a ring.

The Red Sox seem to go the wrong way,
with each September game that they play,
if they lose each series of the game,
they must find somebody to blame.

Thursday night when there was a chance they would win,
something happened so they'd lose again;
a ball to the infield was hit, and a piece of the bat seemed to go,
so the ball wasn't caught, and who missed the play - Scurtaro

And on Friday, they have earned a way,
to stay on top another day,
the Wild Card list is where they are,
hanging on, can't drop too far.

So here we are, the weekend is here,
will there be an occasion for us to cheer,
as we throw our hopes into the fray,
we'll see if they can last another day!
