Game 74
Another impressive offensive show
gave the Red Sox their 5th win in a row.
Double Duran was a real dynamo.
3 more two-baggers? That’s just status quo.
Catcher Christian Vazquez got in the flow
His game-tying homer made us shout, “doh!
(He had been traded but missed the memo.)
A big 3-run triple by Verdugo
gave us back the lead, and we watched it grow
as Casas crushed a pitch inside and low,
deep out to right for a majestic blow.
Paxton, Wincowski, and Garza would throw
terrific pitches to help the Sox sew
up a big win, 9 to 3, and although
the Twins are in first place, they’re a below
500 team and an unworthy foe.
It’s a pennant race. No time to be slow
and contemplative like HD Throreau.
Let’s go for the win with grit and gusto.
Be focused and fierce, provide a deathblow
just like Daryl Dixon with his crossbow
or a mad man as if written by Poe.
A Twin killing awaits. Let’s cause some woe.
Whew. I just made it with minutes to go!
