Signal stealing haiku
« on: November 14, 2019, 08:39:05 pm »
There was a time when this site would have known exactly how to respond to allegations of illegal sign stealing.  Let's remember our glory. Offer up your sign stealing haiku.

Camera relay,
Pound bats against metal can.
Batter takes a curve.

Feeling lost, help Brac
Hands up, watch the hanger. Down.
Late on fastball. Fuck.
Oye. Vamos, vamos.

The monitor gone
Hallway lonely, silhouette
Dejected, batless
Y todo lo que sube baja
pregúntale a Pedro Navaja

No sweat. Bang them cans at home

Altuve at plate.
Our Yankees, who is better?
Sign stolen, ball gone.

Sanchez fingers wiggle
Can is banged, slider is hanged
Poor Jomboy enraged

Changeup hangin. Fastball off.
You hear a whistle?
Oye. Vamos, vamos.

Media butt-hurt
Astros' blood in the water
A feeding frenzy
He breezed him, one more time!

From the Yankee perspective:

They can't be this good
There has to be some cheating
Or why would we lose
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

No cameras in LA.
Ground ball right side
Could do it.

Home wins prove cheating
Three road wins, four home losses
To cover it up



All the teams have one
A center field camera
Astros sole users
He breezed him, one more time!

If you could have massaged that into haiku format, I would declare you the winner right now.

Five whistling bench guys,
Seven banging garbage cans,
Five butthurt Yankees.

It's even meta-descriptive, which I'm pretty sure was Homer's point in the first place.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Right, it was obviously a little early in the day.

Opioids ignored.
