Ode to Ken Giles
The outlook was great for the World Champs that day;
The score stood four to one, with but one inning more to play,
And then a hushed whisper befelled the park as AJ pointed to the pen.
No....not Squatty Giles the crowd cried, this move is like a sin.
Canha rocked a single to center, and Lowrie did the same
Could Giles blow this one again, damn he is so lame.
Davis shot a rocket hit so hard, it could have almost reached the wall.
The A's had waited almost all game long to kick Giles in the balls.
So AJ cringed, put his head down, and made it slowly to the mound
How could these lowly A's beat our closer who once was so sound?
Squatty had a leer in his eyes, as he grudgedly handed the ball to Hinch.
And he also murmured FU you goofy son of a bitch.
Somewhere the birds are singing, the crowds are cheering, and it is another day.
Except for self-punching Squatty who takes his clown show to AAA

Maybe we should have a Haiku thread... the people in this group are probably very creative... each in their own way...

My take on the demotion of the Sultan of Squat.... I will quote the great Moms Mabley:
“When I was a child my momma told me that if you can’t say something good about someone, don’t say nothing at all. He’s gone.......good.”

Hopefully Stubbs can be Crash Davis for Giles.
Stubbs - When you punched yourself, did you do it with your pitching hand?
Giles - What?
Stubbs - You never punch yourself with your pitching hand.

Giles is the kind of numb-nut case who will probably go to Fresno, and have all the starry eyed kids kiss his (ill-gotten) WS ring.

I’m curious to see if Giles heads south in the way Fisher has upon his return to the minors.

I'm betting his ego gets the best of him, and he goes into an even darker funk. He's got to hit rock bottom mentally before he can recover.
Lunow also better closely watch to see if he does any other collateral morale damage.
