News & Notes
  • No song better describes Tyler Heineman than "I Accept Your Satisfaction" by The Pencil Sharpeners.

  • Andrew Kittredge sings of jets, favoring daily all the pets; an energetic man who wants no shields, because his soul is filled with fields.

  • One thing the Pirates don't have to worry about is Spencer Horwitz being elated, as he is so every day.

  • This time, the Rockies could be an offensive show, because Ezequiel Tovar, Mickey Moniak (who spent the offseason trying out a new and improved dietary supplement) and Kris Bryant can be dynamite in that lineup.

Apoetical Blues

ballad of jed hoyer

since who is on first

who pays any attention to the syntax of things

we will never wholly swing like
      Seiya Suzuki

wholly never be fooled like
Jed Hoyer while spring training is in the world
that
the Cubs have a better fate
than the wisdom
that comes from failure

so do not cry

the gestures of
      Luke Little

the laughter watching the struggles of
      Phil Maton

we write for each other

for baseball is not a paragraph

and losing

i think

is no parenthesis
