"Baseball's Sad Lexicon" - Maryland version
Posted on 2/12/13 at 2:08 pm

With apologies to Flanklin P. Adams, the author of the original (look it up).
These are the saddest of possible words:
"Bregman to Jones to Katz"
Trio of Tigers and fleeter than birds,
"Bregman to Jones to Katz"
Ruthlessly picking our ACC bubble
Turning a Maryland hit into a double*
Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble,
"Bregman to Jones to Katz"
*that is, a double play

OK, here is the original version, from 1910: the Cubs are the Chicago Cubs and the Giansts are the New York Giants. Just meant this as a shout out to our team for the opening game Friday.

"Tinker to Evers to Chance."
Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds,
Tinker and Evers and Chance.
Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble,
Making a Giant hit into a double –
Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble:
"Tinker to Evers to Chance."

Yeah, no. Not nearly as poetic.

What if it's:
"Jones to Bregman to Katz"
or
"Ibarra to Jones to Katz"
or
"Katz to Bregman to *insert pitcher here*"
or
"*insert pitcher here* to Jones/Bregman to Katz"
"Jones to Bregman to Katz"
or
"Ibarra to Jones to Katz"
or
"Katz to Bregman to *insert pitcher here*"
or
"*insert pitcher here* to Jones/Bregman to Katz"

I'd imagine Thursday might be acceptable for the first game of the year, but after that all game threads should start shortly before the game starts.
I will say that I'm a tad surprised the nobody has started a look-a-like or prediction thread as of yet...
hint, hint...
Posted on 2/12/13 at 2:54 pm to RummelTiger
I'll help you out with that...
