It's 5-7-5, dammit!

[Chi City 81]

I figured I'd start this in honor of National Haiku Month (thanks, Ilk of Zeke).

Great Tom Emanski
Your videos get results
Fred McGriff says so.

 

[BYH]

Back-to-back-to-back
champions, or so Tom says
get better unis

 

[D-Backs Hack]

The kid in center
throws the ball toward the plate
and in the trash can

 

[D-Backs Hack]

Baseball defense tapes?
Not as good as those Tom House
pitching videos

Nolan sure agrees
all of Tom's pitching theories
helps longevity

 

[Hockeyscribe]

Thomas Emanski
Baseball video savior
No one buys your tapes

 

[shotglass]

I always wondered
if all of those fine students
made their travel team

Tom House emphasized:
Throw footballs to build arm strength
... But his QBs sucked.

 

[D-Backs Hack]

Does Tom know pitching?
His biggest play was catching
Aaron's home-run ball

 

[BYH]

Hank steps to the plate
BYH craps his diaper
Dad: "It won't happen."

Heads to change junior
Aaron launches seven one five
My dad still hates me

 

[D-Backs Hack]

Downing threw the pitch
Milo Hamilton called it
That ball went bye-bye

Time for me to go
Unless I come back to write
about Hit-A-Way

 

[BYH]

Rounded the bases
Two guys slapped him on the back
Hank -- the Home Run King.

Non-haiku jack...can you imagine the fear that went thru Hank's head when those guys slapped him on the back? He'd gotten all sorts of racist death threat bull**** in the mail. For a split second, he probably thought a couple loons were going to off him before he made the HR official.

There was some special about Hank a few years ago in which one of the back-slappers was interviewed. The other declined an interview request.

Maybe if Bonds gets to 756, someone can serve him with a summons as he trots between second and third.

 

[MU_was_not_so_hard]

Emanski doesn't
Need haikus or fancy schmucks
Pimping his cool ****

 

[Evil Bastard (aka Chris_L)]

Baseball clouds my mind
Its five-seven-five, damn it?
Third to left to third?

???

 

[Seabasket]

Ad airs forever
Fred gets no residuals
The Crime Dog was robbed

 

[dooley_womack1]

The lovely haiku
Hijacked by Tom Emanski
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

 

[Songbird]

Big splashy pages
are for retarted newsies,
according to Dye ;D

 

[CitizenTino]

With all the Emanski talk, I feel obligated to chime in here (nods over to user picture at left).

 

[doubledown68]

Emanski the man
McGriff still famous dammit
vid still gets results

 

[buckweaver]

Back-to-back-to-back
Is not a feat to laugh at;
But those mesh hats ... whew!

 

[Oz]

This thread makes me sad
We're missing our dear poet
