Osler's Razor

Before we get to the haiku, I would like to remind everyone that this Sunday at 10 am at St. Stephens Church in Edina Susan Stabile and I will be discussing creeds (she's for 'em, and I'm ag'in 'em). It is part of Neil Alan Willard's Rector's Smackdown, in which people of different faiths are put in a mesh cage and forced to do theological battle. I guess he thinks this will boost attendance. You can hear the podcast of our last talk on creeds here.





Yesterday, I went to see the Twins get absolutely slaughtered by the Devil Rays. It was a great day, though-- I love Target Field, and the fans here.

It is the first month of baseball season, when everyone has hope (except the Cubs), the season before "disappointed" (can I call what fans are in April, then, "appointed?"). So, let's haiku about baseball this week. It doesn't have to be about anything in particular. In fact, if you want, you can haiku about creeds, or the royal wedding. Here are some possible topics (I feel like I am coming up with "Celebrity Jeopardy" categories here):

1) Going to a baseball game as a kid
2) Basebally analogies
3) My team hates me
4) Willie Hernandez
5) IPLawGuy would be way happier if he supported a team other than the Nationals
F) Best ballpark food
7) Kate Middlebury's special dress
8) The Nicene Creed
9) Creeds as part of the royal wedding
10) The Kansas City Royals-- what did they wear to the wedding?

Here is mine:

At Comisky Park
Polish ladies in the stands
The brats of heaven.

Now it is your turn-- five syllables in the first line, then seven in the second, and five in the third. Go!
