Red Sox 13, Twins 1: Putting the “dead” in “deadline”

As trade time approaches, the Twins show no life.

Finish up the ballgame
‘Cause there’s very little joy to find.
Players fumbling all game
And forever playing from behind.

I cannot name any STUDS
Save Wallner with a solo shot.
All the rest were muted thuds;
A spark of good? This team was not.

(jianfu gets the
Comment of the Game,
Oh, yeah.)

Maybe it’s redundance,
But the ballclub showed so little pulse.
DUDS came in abundance,
Making every sitting fan convulse.

Zebby’s arm was far from crisp;
The bullpen, too, showed pas d’esprit.
Bats at home can’t hit with RISP,
Their total 4 for 43.

Ergo, blunder after blunder
Conjures up a loss cascade.
Will the team be torn asunder?
Now we wait to see a trade….
