New crop of rookies
How will they grow?
Depends if we planted the right seeds
Depends on rain – how many games we get in
Have a few veterans – like old tractors
Maybe push them a few years
Change the oil, take care of them
Maybe buy some players
Depends on the market
Drought – farmers sell cattle early
So far out of the pennant race
Teams sell early
Mainly go with what you’ve planted
Can’t plow the field under
Hope by late summer for a winning crop
THE POETRY OF THE GAME
