Tim Hudson

Hudson was the best one of Oakland's three aces
He spent some time exploring for his misplaced greatness
He found it in 2008 and threw extremely well
Until a cruel twist of fate damaged his UCL

Hudson was forgotten like, well, um, I forget
Three bucks in an auction; that's a move I won't regret
'Tho Strasburg throws a change-up as fast as Tim's fastball
When the two met yesterday that did not faze Tim at all

Strasburg struck out seven; Hudson struck out six
Six Ks from Tim is cause for celebratory kicks
But what matters is the crowd witnessed Timmy toss
Seven shutout innings while Strasburg took the loss

Hudson is no river valley; Hudson is a peak
People facing Hudson seem to be up the creek
He won't make many bats make a whiffing sound
But he more than makes up for it with outs on the ground

Hudson is a beast in ERA, WHIP and wins
Turns the NL East batters seem like fish sans fins
'Tho if Hanson is JD he's the older guy - Bob Kelso
He'll be no scrub as long as he has a healthy elbow
