The Fall Classic '09

By Don Omni

Tonight it's Pedro versus Pettitte's clan,
Hideki's blast drives him and A-Rod home.
Edified, Rollins scores a one run blow,
Wily Hideki plates two more safely.
Onto the fifth, Durbin relieves Pedro,
Rocking a hit, Texeira plates Jeter.
Lord Hideki burns two more runs of work...
Drastic, Howard bombs two explosively,
Swapping out old Pettitte for young Joba.
Enter the eighth, on comes Rivera's preen,
Racking the Phils; hurling his cutter's murk.
It's the top of the ninth, Mo's in the zone...
Extinguishing Philadelphia's hope,
Sealing the World Series for the Yankees!
