Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXVI: Apparently A Lot Happened In Baseball, But All I Know For Sure Is That The Mets Continue To Be A Joke

Epic chokes all across the east
In Atlanta, Boston hopes deceased
Slept through baseball’s renaissance
Saw the news over morning croissants
The regular season ended -- and I cared least

Injuries are a common schtick
Along with busts like D-Jax and Vick
A fantasy football season to forget
But nice to have no more fret
On the clock for next year’s top pick

Was tough watching him of late
Andy Rooney was slow of voice and gait
“So … didja ever notice …”
Whether talking about video games or POTUS
Farewell to another journalistic great

With football playing like poops
Attention has turned to State hoops
And recruiting rumblings abound
Will they land someone to rebound?
“Gurus” battling each other for scoops

Jose Reyes always came with a hitch:
He was always kind of a bitch
Not surprised that a noted limper
Would go out with a bunt and a whimper
Symbolizes the entire Mets glitch

Last time …
