2013 Detroit Tigers by Haiku

Happy birthday to my beloved mother!

Jim Leyland, manager

The Marlboro madman

Huffing and puffing to 1st

*Cough* “Bullpen problems?”

Miguel Cabrera, 3B

Legendary bat

Only rocks his crowns in threes

Can he make it six?

Justin Verlander, SP

The ace of Motown

Bouts of maddening control

Don’t lose us, Justin!

Max Scherzer, SP

Look into his eyes

Multi-colored K’s for Max

Still looking? Me too

Austin Jackson, CF

Globs of tobacco

Ranging, diving, and robbing

“Please let me steal, Jim!”

Prince Fielder, 1B

Like father, like son

Lovably chunky slugger

Vegitari-wha?

Torii Hunter, RF

Clubhouse confidant

No more thorn in Tigers side

Still gives Bonds nightmares

Victor Martinez, DH

Return of V-Mart

Only DH in top plays

Watch that ankle, Vic!

Jhonny Peralta, SS

Big bat, little glove

Habla ingles? PEDs!

Hitting, awaiting

Doug Fister, SP

Lanky, looping, Doug

Plunk – another hit batter

Score runs for this man!
