Watching the Giants Play the Marlins

All the Giants fans are jealous when Hanley
hits that home run and the new Marlins
Home Run Machine whirls to life.
Descended from Bill Veeck's exploding thing
at the Old Comiskey Park in Chicago
this new model has fish that glow arcing
yellow and orange on invisible hooks. 

Maybe the Giants need their own machine.
An inflatable Garcia that plays
Scarlet Begonias or St. Stephen?
Willie Mays drop kicking a voodoo doll
of Barry Bonds into McCovey Cove?
That's slightly less awesome than flying fish.
Is there a game on somewhere?
