Al:
I know we're playing out the so-called string, but jeez Dice-K, really?

Doug:
Why not just wheel out the friggin' Jugs machine and save everybody the trouble?

 

---

Al:
You know Dude-san has only had 9 quality stahts in his 21 appearances?

 

---

Mike:
Many moons must pass
To glimpse the ivory-billed
Or quality start.

 

---

Doug:
So in the end, it looks like the Red Sox will struggle to win 87 games.

 

---

Al:
This is like the old days.

 

---

Doug:
Why the fuck not? Everything old is new again.

 

---

Mike:
Seriously, if leggings can come back then why not the 85-win Red Sox?

 

---

Al:
I once knew a girl who wore leggings,
She wouldn't put out until I started begging,
Then it was spandex galore,
From this dirty litte whore,
How I love cod with a little breading.

Well-he did get spanko'd

[Bob]

Spanko-covered fillet of Matsuzaka. Nice, Harwich.

There once was a man from East Kent
Whose tool was so long that it bent
To save her some trouble
He folded it double
And instead of coming, he went.

[LarryE]

Good one, Bob. Sort of like the RS season. We never knew if they were coming or going.

[vermonter]

There was a young man from Belair
who was fucking a girl on the stair
the bannister broke
so he doubled his stroke
and finished her ioff in mid-air

[Rob in CT, er, AL]

I can't tell you the anticipatory glee with which I clicked on your reference to the "Jugs machine".

Oh, h.b. That was a bigger let down than this crappy 87 win season. Well, maybe not a bigger letdown. But you get the point.

[h.b.]

Funny re "juggs" letdown. Gotta keep you honest and guessing. LOL.

A mathematician named Hall

Had a hexahedron cal ball

The cube of its weight

Times his p*cker, plus eight

Is his phone number ... give him a call

[Rob in CT, er, AL]

With regards and apologies to our man Down Under. I kid because I love, SDU:

There once was a man from Australia

Who painted his ass like a dahlia

The color was fine

And the likeness, sublime

But the aroma, now that was the falia

No limerick from me today, but this caught my attention. The dating site okcupid did another one of their oddball data analysis - this time on the 'About Me' write ups provided by members. One of the most popular phrases among white women on the site is "the Red Sox."

i still don't care.

There once was a man from Japan
whose pitching had gone pretty bland
The famed gyroball
led to nothing but walks
Can we ship him to South Pakistan?

Fall shadows lengthen
Strasborgs and Dice-Ks eclipsed
Phenoms bust our balls

gotta do it:

there once was a man from Pawtucket,
who's dick was so long he could suck it.
Said he with a grin, as he wiped off his chin:
if my ear was a cunt, I could fuck it!

Here's something to root for:

Tim Wakefield's base salary for 2011 will increase from $1.5 million to $2 million if he completes at least 3 1/3 innings in Wednesday night's start against the Rays.
The Red Sox altered their rotation after Tuesday's loss to the Rays, pushing Clay Buchholz back to Friday in order to use him on regular rest. Wakefield will happily reap the benefits. The incentive kicks in once he reaches 130 innings. He is at 126 2/3 innings right now.

Hey, no fair using existing lims. Hah.

[LarryE]

After April's poor start, they kept teasin'
but the bad bullpen was part of the reason
that, with injuries galore,
Josh and Dice-K pitching poor,
we need to forget this bridge season

[Rob in CT, er, AL]

Nice, LarryE!

[LarryE]

Thanks, Rob.

[Mike]

The saddest part of the Red Sox season is the fans resorting to limericks to keep their spirits up.

With 12 of the starters hurt,
the rest played hard in the dirt,
but competition was rough,
their best wasn't enough
and the problems became quite overt
