Indians haiku

A co-worker just sent me a hiaku. He's following today's Indians-Yankees game on the internet, so you can see where his poetic inspiration came from:

"Bases juiced, one out.
Jhonny Peralta strikes out.
Casey Blake fouls out."

He switched the order of the outs to fit the haiku rules, but you get the idea.  

It reminded me of a series of dog haikus I saw somewhere a few years ago.  So I thought I'd post his entry here to see if anyone can add some good ones to the thread.  Any Tribe fan poets out there want to follow up?

Re: Indians haiku
Bases juiced, one out
Blake chokes again, lifts foul pop.
Peralta rung up.

Re: Indians haiku
Only one strike left.
Why not groove one to Josh Phelps?
Help!  Avalanche!  Aargh!

Re: Indians haiku
Seems our new closer
Is a lot like our old one.
Don't buy new boxers.

Re: Indians haiku
Two old right-handers
fifteen runs, ten innings pitched.
Seven mil? Wasted.

Re: Indians haiku
Should have studied test
Watched the game on CBS
Grades and life suck hard

(never written a haiku, is that one right?) For the record, that was CBS Sportsline.

Wait 'til next year... or something like that

Re: Indians haiku
Made me think of something lyrical:

Sometimes I think the bullpen
Couldn't cut for team Oberlin
I gotta take a vicodin
Cuz they are Clevlin' Indians
