Around SBN: Kentucky Football: Tee Martin Reportedly Leaving for USC

5-7-5 (haiku) thread...It's Friday

A's are 5 and o
whenever we write hakius
let's keep this going

three point five games back
it's time to thank JP's team
Toronto Blue Jays

Vegas trip is soon
my money is on the A's
don't hate, I'm Chinese

Bonderman will win
A's will take two out of three
Billy Beane Throws chair

Joe Morgan's column
registration required
waste of my money

Kenneth Scott Rogers
finally loses appeal
it's about damn time

V. Scott Elarton
what would happen if he faced
Seth M. Etherton

Eric C. Chavez
that speech on the bus was key
he is a leader

AN Day is soon
who are the guests of honor?
I guess we'll find out

drunk guy on sports talk
said Tigers will win pennant
I don't believe him

A's are in second
I am still in disbelief
someone please pinch me

must go to bed now
need beauty sleep for my play
haikus are welcome

Guttiest play of the year!
Spike marks to prove it

Ellis pinch runs, comes to bat
Gets a hit himself

Needing a big hit?
Scutaro will deliver
A's win yet again

Eighteen inning game,
Angels lose, bullpen shot.  A's

baseballgirl's best quote:
A's "hottest team in baseball"

I am a straight guy
But "chick talk" is great to see
Keep it coming, girls!

Tigers now in town
Harden, Zito and Saarloos
I like our chances

Trade deadline Sunday
Will A's make a move?  Not sure
In Billy We Trust

Should probably get some sleep
Good night and GO A'S!!!

Haikuuu.
WHIP's very different
When said about J. Alba
Boys like the chains too.

So no Huston hate
'Cuz glue is for everyone
Life is about fun.

A's against Tigers
Let's hope they don't do something
To anger Farnsworth.

Not A's, but still baseball
Speaking of angry . . .
Sosa's foot hit the catcher
In the chest at home.

Did Rangers' pitchers
Backup their backstop Thursday
When Sammy batted?

Anyone with guts
Would intimidate Sammy,
Not just cameramen.

Farnsworth
Farnsworth has bad temper

Fire Macha now
Firing Macha now
has AN obsessed, polls show,
in at least two ways.

My guess is it's cuz
equates to five syllables,
a line in haiku.

Why so much focus
on a middle manager?
Can he pitch a gem?

Follow-up
Now just for some kicks,
 rearrange the first letters
 making a said phrase

(And by the first ones,
I mean for each line in the
earlier post there.)

Can you figure it?
A bit easy? Then respond
 quickly in haiku.

Now here's one tougher
although it is on AN
usually each day.

Do the same on this
using first letters per line.
Darn, what phrase is it?
