That's a wrap on first half; was it poetry to you?

Monday July 13, 2009

The first half of the baseball season is in the books, and it's been eventful.

A few highlights, in haiku form:

Manny took bad stuff

That dirty test hurt his rep

But Dodgers aren't blue

Another:

Homers soar from Busch

Along with singles, doubles

Pujols is awesome

Shifting to the AL:

Empty seats in Bronx

Yet seats are full at Fenway

Great East race coming

And one more:

Lincecum grows hair

And Sanchez throws a no-no

Giants get wild card?

That's enough poetry. Check out the top 10 stories from the first half and the top 10 surprises. And we'd like your take on the first half, too, along with a prediction or two for the rest of the season. (Rhyming and meter optional.)
