Punto’s home run haiku

Nick Punto goes deep
Hope all of you were watching
Mauer’s one for sixteen

When teams are winning
This stuff begins happening
Guys come through like this

Nick Punto goes yard
Goose bumps rise around Twin Towns
Hide women and kids

Nick Punto blooms late
thirty-thirty guy in making
Ronnie’s dreams come true

Front foot not open
Do not step in the bucket
The hitting basics

A Punto home run?
Joe Mauer is in a funk?
Brain aneurysm.

Close game in Texas
Liriano battles through
Grind this game out boys

Punto hits homerun
I don’t effin believe it
This must be sick joke

Punto leaves the yard
The wind must be blowing out
Gale force winds tonight

Nail biter again
Glad to get six from 4-7
Why not use the pen?

Sans Punto’s homer
This game would have been over
We need a hero

Kubel’s without peer
against righties only however
still, odds are against

Nobody’s perfect
Counting syllables is hard
stupidity abounds

Punto gets three hits
so Gardenhire takes him out,
puts in Buscher. Arg.

Reality check time for Nick
One night, a good hitter doesn’t make
Futile, regardless

And this game drags on
Waiting for a big homerun
Not from the Rangers

Please put in Nathan
Are you really this dumb, Ron
Too late, game over

Keep Punto at short
Make a big trade for Sanchez
No more Casilla

Haiku posts are great
Dickey left it over plate
Nick sluggin’ of late

Two walks in the sixth
Gardy rides the pine
Again, no working phone?

Jason says:

Nicky hits one out
Gardy says ‘atta boy’ aloud
Not worth eight million

Julie says:

A home run, no way
Unassisted double play
can you believe it

Punto hits one out
Goes three for four on the night
Am I seeing things?

A blind squirrel hops
Stumbling upon a nut
Good eats for the day

Punto’s shot was neat
Sadly it came in defeat
Clutch bench bat in need

Adam S. says:

Mauer is overrated
Punto is underrated
Is Grudzielanek here yet?

Jason says:

FSN was lame
In giving Wis. Dells more fame
Nice gut on Coom Dog

BC of ND says:

You doubted his skills
Punto’s shot gives us thrills
Maybe he’s on pills?

Clubhouse, “D” and now at plate
Focused and within himself
LNP second half MVP?

Nick Punto at bat
Sneer curled on lip
Mudville cheers tonight

Seriously I suck at Haiku’s…

Nick Punto at bat
A sneer curled on his lips
Mudville cheers tonight

Jason says:

Mauer in a slump
Needs a boost to get going
Bat him second please

Warning track power
Is a home run in Texas
But just for Nicky?

Jason says:

Everyday Eddie
Looking good again this year
We didn’t need him

Punto hits ball
Wind carries like feather
Holland surrenders
