National League Haiku

Pittsburgh has both sides
PNC Park is gorgeous
Pirates? Not so much

Griffey's twentieth
He still flips his cap backwards
Hey, baseball is fun!

Ausmus still employed?
At least the 'Stros have Hunter
To squeeze the Juice Box

They've got Prince Albert
And arguably best fans
Denkinger haunts, though

Wrigley Field is great
Almost as good as Fenway
Less World Series wins

Bernie Brewer goes
Down slide, into the beer mug
Sausage races? Eh

Nationals are dull
MLB stole the Expos
Thanks, Commish Selig

Miami has flair
Only Hanley's got it, though
Please give him some help!

Smoltz keeps on tickin'
Glavine's back, but not Maddux
Glory days still gone

Ryan Howard rakes
Jimmy Rollins sure can burn
Sounds more like yardwork

Most talent in league
Wright, Reyes, Johan; Oh, my!
Mets are Amazin'

So long, Barry Bonds
Giants will sink to the depths
Of McCovey Cove

Edged by the Rockies
San Diego was not pleased
Pads will overcome

Joe Torre in town
Can he bring Yankee magic?
Just play the youngsters

Rocks had a great run
All the way to the Series
Won't happen again

D-Backs battle heat
And some tough division foes
To rise once again
