This is Humbugardy. I'm your host, Alex Scorebard.

 

Dykstra's tough nickname
He earned as a Met,
Then pounded it home
With years at The Vet.

When Milton referred to "That mighty leading Angel", he meant this figure, not Vladimir Guerrero.

Humbugardy, Round 1

Welcome to Humbugardy. I'm your host, Alex Scorebard.

(I know a good idea when I pilfer see one. I hope Annika doesn't mind that I'm stealing her idea expanding her innovation into the world of baseball poetry.)

Here are the rules: I will provide the answer, you provide the question. The answers will all be related to both baseball and poetry somehow. The answer may be a poem, or be about a poem. Sometimes the answer is an incomplete poem, and you must complete the poem with your question.

The first person to question the answer correctly gets the points, and gets to choose the next answer.

The question must be in the form of a question. If the answer is an incomplete poem, the question must not only be correct, it must scan correctly to complete the poem.

When I announce that the answer is questioned correctly, the winner can then choose the next answer. After which, I'll post the next answer. I'll post one or two answers per day, at random times.

Ready to start? The first person to comment below can pick the first answer from the following categories:

Our Diamond Notes Are Still Free
2005-07-10 08:10
by Score Bard

The Random Diamond Note Generator has one sentence structure that goes: "RANDOMPLAYER will miss RANDOMNUMBER days after he accidentally swallowed a RANDOMFOOD whole."

This has now actually happened in real life: Danny Putnam of the Stockton Ports will miss seven days after he accidentally swallowed a grape whole.

Eerie.

Let me also take this opportunity to point out that while some diamond notes now cost money to read, Humbug's Diamond Notes are, have been, and shall remain, free.

Looks his victims in the eyes
Says he must apologize:
"Sorry for the needless scare
I gave to cameras everywhere."
