WHIV 2047.1- Four Days of Failure

Post by recte44 » Mon May 31, 2021 3:09 pm

Four Days of Failure
by an anonymous Hustlers fan

Martin Ross cruised through seven full
After two hits in the eighth, he was pulled
Hodge was called in by skip
but the scoreboard was flipped
As he allowed three Talons to score

To the ninth, Vegas went in order
But Eric Buckson was in disorder
He gave up two hits
And three walks, holy shit
His skills were left down by the border (Spring Training)

Game 2 they came back with Nate (Davis)
It'd be fair to say he pitched great
They hit only three
Struck out eleven you see
Then he turned the game over the the bullpen

Once again they went with Jay
He pitched much better this day
The eighth was a blank
He brought out the stank
And the Hustlers went into the ninth

Now onto the ninth they went
No changes and Skip was content
Hodge stayed in the game
The results weren't the same
As Bathgate led off with a single

Skip had a decision to make
With Buckson again? Goodness sake
He served up a potato
Guzman said "See you later!"
Now the game was tied again

In the eleventh the Hustlers came through
Jason Clark did not have a clue
Turton got a hit
Three walks did he commit
Now the Hustlers were back in the lead

Skip kept Likiliki on the mound
His defense let him down
Turton made an error
A wild pitch, a walk, oh the terror
And Skip made his way to the hill

A signal made to his right arm
The dugout gasped with alarm
In came Gil Cruz,
now the Hustlers will lose
Justin Jackson with a walk off tater

Now the team went to Jacksonville
With Kevin Morales on the hill
He gave up five runs
When he came undone
In the sixth inning of the game

Now the bullpen was tasked to hang in there
And the Skipper said a quick prayer
Then Hodge, Cruz and Buckson
Had outstanding production
And the extra frames went on

In the eleventh the Hustlers struck first
When Ata had a power burst
To the bottom half with the lead
What the Hustlers really need
Is for a reliever to come through just once

First Likiliki got into trouble
Two runners on with no outs its a struggle
Now Dorsey comes in
Let the meltdown begin
The Hurricanes tied it up again

Rich Martinez was now on the hill
Skipper told him to fire at will
Now David the Terrible
Man, this is unbearable
The bullpen has blown it again

Dress Geestman is the next to try
To make the Hustlers fans not cry
He pitched seven strong
But again it went wrong
When Hodge and Buckson came in

Now the Hustlers must come to grips
With a bullpen that's giving them fits
There's no Huber here
So it's a great fear
The bullpen may ruin the year.

You know your bullpen has issues if it inspires the populace to lyrical tragic limericks.

The start to this season was absolutely ridiculous.

No matter how bad the Talons are, any given season produces some absolute Vegas ownage and it's a joy to behold!

I vote that poetry counts for double PPT. Nice job.

Last sim the Hustlers took two consecutive games from my club in extra innings, so I daresay your pen held up better than mine!
