Here's a little lyric I wrote up while watching the exciting ending to last night's Tigers-Indians ballgame. In the top of the 13th, the Tigers hit two deep shots in a row that looked like homeruns but were caught at the wall in centerfield.
Tied in extra innings, long night in Cleveland
Indians and Tigers toil.
Detroit thumps bombs, roaring bereavement:
warning track catch, runs foiled.
Tony Sipp zips overhand heat,
deep fly balls ensue.
Prospectus reference sought for statspeak,
on Cleveland: he's Tony who???
Sipp with two P's, the capsule reads...
"power southpaw reliever" with strikeout stuff
If to deep flies the wall catches up,
he'll last in this league a decade or up.
Good enough.
