Oakland Athletics

The A’s playoff losses prompt queries

And everyone has their own theories.

My key to survive

The dreaded game five

Is simply to sweep the dang series.

Anaheim Angels

The monkey has seen no upheaval

Since the last Series fly ball retrieval.

Though the team is the same,

It’s a whole new ballgame

If the injury bug spreads its evil.

Seattle Mariners

While mermaids sing “Younger!” and “Quicker!”,

The Mariners’ glow starts to flicker.

Though their hair is now thinning,

They are still somehow winning;

Forgetting that “older” means “sicker”.

Texas Rangers

Despite their new manager, Buck,

The Rangers just seem to be stuck.

Their hitting, once more,

Quite often will score,

And the pitching will still really suck.
