Drowning Sorrows in a Half Full Glass

[RTRybak]

Rising from the ashes
Of my clinical depression
I leave this Twins season
With the following impression

A team that early on
Was maddeningly erratic
Got their act together
And often left us ecstatic

We buried the playoff curse
Of Yankees as vipers
With a core of young players
Who back then were in diapers

We finally made sense
Of trading Arraez
Because Pablo became
An even bigger prize

Duran has become
Baseball’s best closer
Whose hundred mile fastballs
Make each batter a hoser

Julien as a leadoff
Has become a real factor
(But could someone get Buxton
A better chiropractor?)

Correa’s mega contract
We should no longer resent
He showed in the playoffs
He’s worth every cent

Coming up are great prospects:
Jenkins, Martin, Rodriguez
And Brooks Lee’s future impact
Will more than intrigue us

So deep in my sorrow
I have room to rejoice
Spring training’s around the corner
And, hey, we got Royce!

Gallo will be gone

For all to cheer

Every time he struck out

I reached for a beer

 

My liver with thank me

Because I am now sober

Thank you Joey for the memories

But your time is now over

Now _that’s_ art!

This shows your age. And mine for recognizing that.

No one could blame you

For poetry as pain salve

But I'm sure some will

Pain?

I am still not done grieving over game 7 1965!

That team?  Couldn't even get past one round of the playoffs.
