ONE MET ART
— For reference, check out the original poem by Elizabeth Bishop

The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many games seem filled with the regard
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose nearly every day. Put out to pasture
Yoenis, David Wright, and Syndergard.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

If you don’t score, the losing can go faster:
DeGrom can mow them down, and his reward
A bullpen headed swiftly toward disaster.

And when the offense conjures up a blaster,
The pitching staff’s hoist by its own petard.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

Then trade talk. Syndergard, DeGrom, and vaster —
Put Nimmo and Conforto on the card,
And now you are approaching a disaster.

We’re saving management for last, for
A loss in ownership would not be hard.
the art of losing’s not too hard to master,
Losing the Wilpons would be no disaster.

[Zvon]

This is great

Yes, I looked up "vaster".

OE: And there's a song there. I have to re-string my guitar and then I'm gonna put that to music. Or Ed, wanna do that up?

Was expecting a thread on this guy.

I expected to see Shamsky running from his wife.

However, this was terrific!!

[G-Fafif]

We’re saving management for last, for A loss in ownership would not be hard. the art of losing’s not too hard to master, Losing the Wilpons would be no disaster.

With sharpness that eluded Mackey Sasser
