[Ed. note: I really didn’t want to recap last night’s game. The fiery hatred that the Braves offense feels toward Shelby Miller’s win total continues unabated, as the Braves scored their single run (a Jonny Gomes solo shot!) two innings after Miller left the game. There really isn’t much to say about a game when the offense got three hits. So I won’t! Now, please enjoy Blazon’s latest…]

…read this first please, it’s the easiest way to get a grasp on what’s happening and it isn’t long…plus there are several actual examples to find and enjoy…
so here’s what this is about…over the last year or two we’ve been moderately successful in incorporating verse into this baseball board from time to time…there have been limericks(5 lines, strict rules) and parodies of many sorts, most recently the 14-line sonnet which featured in the shoot-out last month on the fourth…also song parodies…all this is great and will continue hopefully…
what we’re trying to do now is encourage more people to participate, to have fun doing so and to make us all laugh…fun is a good secondary component on a board like ours which by its nature tends to be dominated by numerology, passion, anguish and pain (W/L record).
