Game 147
At work, I awaited the game with gloom,
wondering where I might hide out and fume
without drawing stares from those in the room.
Of course, it was wrong for me to presume
that we’d continue to slide like a flume.
I’ve been a fan since I was in the womb,
and I’ve seen my share of teams meet their doom,
but lately, choices we’ve made (or that loom)
have trapped our team in a tortuous tomb
out of which hope would be hard to exhume.
Then I saw the Boston headlines and… boom!
Chaim was canned (but to be replaced by whom?)
I found myself stunned (like a catfished groom
whose bride hid her face, used a non de plume,
then revealed herself to be Heidi Klum.)
My heart raced again. I could hear it “vroom.”
The Red Sox won, thus preventing the broom.
What happens next, now that we’ve lost our Bloom?

A new era begins. Hey, the Yankees can't stuff us last place no matter what today. I guess maybe Bloom was right all along, I was too much of a pessimist this season.

"Loving Cup Ears" according to the Great American Baseball Card, etc. book
Oh, so you dont believe me..........
Perhaps one or two very special, post free agent signing poems. I'm anxious to see the magic that @LynnRice75 can work with Yamamoto.
Though I admit that it looks kinda bleak,
the Bloom-free Red Sox could go on a streak,
win a bunch in a row and somehow eek
into the playoffs. We'll find out this week.
