15 Haikus That The "Best Fans" in Baseball Need to Know About the Mets

For the Noiseboy

Written by Listmaker and Youthlarge

Jose Reyes
Fast legs and a smile
Yadier better watch out
The tablesetter

Paul Lo Duca
Nineteen-year-old girls
And the Cards should be wary
Of Captain Red Ass

Carlos Beltran
Beltran loves Jesus
Let us pray for a repeat
Of 2004

Carlos Delgado
God Bless Delgado
First base slugger that I love
Homerun sweet homerun

David Wright
Don't hate David Wright
Because he's bi-racial and
Also good looking

Cliff Floyd
Achilles tendon
Is a big problem; if healthy
He is Cliff Banger!

Shawn Green
No Hammerin' Hank
But better than Gabe Kapler
His cap will fall off

Jose Valentin
Fuck Kaz Matsui
Anderson Hernandez who?
Dig his little 'stache

Endy Chavez
Super sub Endy
Endy! Endy! En-dy! En
Dy! Endy! En-dy!

Julio Franco
Chiseled adonis
Name of his juice is Jesus
100-years-old

Tom Glavine
Hated him as Brave
Smug company man made good
Rooting for him now

John Maine
Glavine and John Maine
Then pray for rain; Balgavy's
Old chum in V.A.

Steve Trachsel
Throw the ball Trachsel
This is not a wine tasting
Or crossword puzzle

Oliver Perez
Oliver Perez?
Getting a start in Game 4?
Please say it ain't so

Billy Wagner
Franco, Armando
And Looper he's not, thank God
Will finish off the Cards

For some reason, I convinced a conflicted kid in my class today to root for the Cardinals. His favorite team is the Cards, his second favorite is the Mets. His mom is a Mets fan and his dad likes the Yankees. I told him to go with his heart and root for the Cardinals. Am I getting soft in my old age? A few years ago, I would have crushed that poor kid's soul if he dared root against the Mets in this situation.

Ha! That's hilarious. Far more creative than what I came up with. Although I think my haiku for Pujols would go something like this:

Brad Lidge fears me, true
Soon, Billy Wagner will, too
Mets fans will be blue

(Yes, I know they aren't technically supposed to rhyme, but I couldn't resist.)

You should do a new poem after each Mets loss. That would be, let's see, four poems!

In my left ear rings
The cry of a wounded crow.
"You suck, Steve Trachsel!"


Oh, and my lawyers will be contacting you about that John Maine one.

How about this:

Oliver Perez

A One Year Wonder?
Still Better Than Lima Time
And Just Twenty-Five

too bad it isn't "pray for rain, then Glavine and Maine," 'cause last night would have been the hook-up.
