Haiku Friday

by sslinger on Aug 10, 2007 12:34 PM PDT

With a nod to Secret Asian Man, Haiku Friday is back! We discussed this on AN Day and lots of people encouraged me to do this, so here goes.

Activated late
Shouting loud in the clubhouse
Milton a Padre

Melhuse in Texas
Reunited with Washington
Playing third like Chavvy

A’s season is lost
Disabled list took its toll
AN day to day

Now, AN, contribute away!

Oh my goodness!!!

I remember this!!!

Travis Buck is mine
With Barry across the bay
Travis will console

Fueled by desire
I watch from right field bleachers
He captivates me

Let's bubblewrap Croz
Keep him away from Gina
And him him healthy :)

Lacey can't pick plates
Or were they Huston's bad choice?
Either way--uglyyyy

I am not working
I have the AN fever
I blame AN day

(P.S. What is Corn Nation???)

"Corn nation" happens when
Royalty ascends the throne.
