On the bench

Your omniscient author in absentia:
The best thing about doing Soxaholix for fun is that I can have the occassional day where I just confess that I've got nothing.

Today is one of those days.

Meanwhile, the e-book project I spoke of before has fallen a bit behind schedule but it's still going to happen this year.

Medicinal pot
Spreads its tiny leaves and grows
A mouse standing guard.

[louclinton]

This team has a lot of gutzzz.

perennially,
lc

[h.b.]

A mouse standing guard
his tiny Beefeater hat
so big in shadows.

[Rob in CT, er, AL]

In absentia
Hart takes a well deserved rest
Where's the mouse button?

[Kaz]

So big in shadows
The Red Sox waiting for fall
Pride first, Yankees next

[pablo in nh]

Anybody else notice that Jose Bautista looks exactly like El Greco?

[h.b.]

Pride first, Yankees next --
Gathering swallows twitter,
Many followers

[Kaz]

Many followers
Used to cheer out in left field
Manny followers

[buckner was framed]

Haiku and Youk-u,
we all cheer for Dustin-ku
one more week away

[Follower of Tito]

Five back from Yankees,
Wild card in sight - four point five
Sox nine not dead yet

[Betsy in Rhode Island]

Sox nine not dead yet
But Manny followers have
Got nothing today

[h.b.]

'Got nothing today,'
Shrugged the wizened old Buddha
With a knowing smile.

[LarryE]

With a knowing smile
I keep the haiku flowing
Mike keeps hope alive

[Betsy in Rhode Island]

Mike keeps hope alive
Pedroia back on Tuesday
Tek for October?

[Kaz]

Mike keeps hope alive
Lisa keeps HOPA alive
Where is Arturo?

[LarryE]

Tek for October?
Big Shamrock for November
A-Gon - December?

[COD]

HOPA girl is fake
Jet Blue guy got a ballad
How will Lisa quit?

[Kaz]

How will Lisa quit,
when Saltalamacchia
just got the call up?

[buckner was framed]

Salty has Tek thighs
Natalie chimes from NY
a visit comes soon?

[Natalie]

A visit comes soon
Boston in mid-September
Salty up close, yum.

[h.b.]

'Salty up close, yum.'
Makes me all tingly inside
double entendre

[Bob]

Double entendre
Dispense with accuracy
Pharmacist's law suit.

[Kaz]

Pharmacist's law suit:
Aerosmith and J Geils ask,
"What does a fen weigh?".

[Rob in CT, er, AL]

Pharmacist's law suit
"You gave me fake Viagra"
Oh, you're such a pill.

[Rob in CT, er, AL]

Dammit, Kaz!

[Rob in CT, er, AL]

"What does a fen weigh?"
He asked the science major.
Same as Grecian urns.

[LarryE]

Have we exhausted
our collective haiku minds?
Will mine be the last?

[Rob in CT, er, AL]

"Will mine be the last?",
asked Papelbon to Tito.
"Give me the ball, Paps."

[Rob in CT, er, AL]

Where's the Rays game at?
Detroit Three, Tampa Bay One
Step nearer Wild Card.

[buckner was framed]

pharmacist's law suit?
job security, says I
no Viagra here

[h.b.]

Where's Miss Natalie?
Did she just salt yum and run?
A pink and teal blur

[Natalie]

To salt yum and run
Is typically the man's role
But I can play too. :)

[soxdownunder]

Will mine be the last?
A question quite neglecting
Timezone SDU.

[Kaz]

"Timezone SDU":
Another Law and Order?
That makes me feel glum.

[Rob in CT, er, AL]

Timezone SDU(?)
With seasons turned on their heads
13 hours means zilch.

[Rob in CT, er, AL]

Nat can play too.
It's her reason for living
To salt yum and run

[h.b.]

Get to the salt yum
"Before the Jacuzzi!"
Mel Gibson demands

[Rob in CT, er, AL]

Thirty-six entries,
completed in bad haiku.
Refrigerator. :-D

[louclinton]

Now it's 39
Detroit 3, Tampa Bay 2.
How 'bout them apples?

[Bob]

How 'bout them apples?
What, do they play in Dallas?
Rotten to the core.

[Rob in CT, er, AL]

Rotten to the core. (Corp)
That's what Frank Burns was on M.A.S.H.
Hot Lips Houlihan!

[pseudosanity78]

Perpendicular
Megalomaniacal
Congratulations

[Yossarian]

Congratulations
Bill Hall finally broke out
waited all season

[LarryE]

I was premature
predicting final haiku
Now mine will be last

[Basho]

The old pond
A frog jumps in
The sound of water.
