If you've been reading this site for a while, you are familiar with our fondness for verse. Often we have found that the best poetry comes not from our own sick, twisted minds, but those of the average Phillies fan. Apropos of the recent Domonic Brown furor, please find below a collection of the best Dom-centric comments arranged in verse form.
All poems have been taken shamelessly from the comment section of Matt Gelb's fantastic piece "On Domonic Brown".
Code Words
"By" "kevinmac"
Brown
doesn't bust it to
First
doesn't bust it to
balls in Outfield
and makes
too many
Dumb Plays
in Field
and basepaths....
Relacitrant in fixing
Hole in his Swing
Uncoachable..
Rollins Type attitude
without pedigree.
Window Dressings
"By" "bearsfriend"
The question isn't
whether Dom Brown will be a good player someday...
the question is
whether he's the best possible outfielder we can possibly have,
offensively and defensively,
when we try to win the World Series...
When he's 28,
Roy will be 38 and Cliff 37,
I like our chances better now!
The Lost Boys
"By" "repski"
Brown looks lost
good luck with him in the playoffs
Pence has the best arm in the NL,
he is an up-temo, effort guy
instant energy which this team lacks
(other than Chase).
Trade Brown, Singleton and Cosart
get it done.
Thanks A Lot, Gelb.
"By" "robynk"
Great, now I'm even
MORE confused on whether they
should trade him or not!
Solution
"By" "jss31"
Keep Brown,
trade Francisco,
Baez,
Herndon,
Singleton,
Savery,
Valdez
or some combination
or players/prospects
for a right hand bat
and a relief pitcher
