First pitcher we claimed made me Smyly
But the timetable turned out so vilely
A ligament must heal
From its woe into weal
So the upgrade came off not-so-slyly
Now the next to enlist was Dave Phelps
Grimly greeted by grimace and yelps
Tis’ a starter to be?
To the bullpen goes he.
Leaves me wond’rin’ if indeed this move helps.
Then the third to the mound was Gonzales
His changeup is mostly there all is
Lighting up triple-A!
Will his stuff upward play?
When soon to the big league the call is
Then today we reclaim sir Erasmo
Hoping that he’s acquired the surpass throw
Flinging bb’s in threes
Throwing K’s at the knees
Have we found our messiah? Alas no.
