closed-circuit to twins and (boston) braves fans

First we'll use Keppel,
then we'll use Crain,
Then watch our lead,
go down the drain.

Back will come Keppel,
followed by Crain,
Accomp'nied,
we fear,
by two innings of pain.

The deadline has passed,
the bullpen is set,
When the starters offend,
the relievers abet.

-- with deepest apologies to gerald hern, johnny sain, and the great lefty, warren spahn.
