Given how much it is used and what a tongue twister it is for many (me included), I'm all for granting Quid Pro Quo official acronym status. Tell all your editors that QPQ should now be acceptable.

@ZackMeisel Irony is Cle is currently in 1st but Chisox control their own destiny. Possible for Cle to tie for division lead yet miss the playoffs. Heaven forbid

19-WYNN’S LAST WIN
His fastball no longer alive
Early Wynn only lasted five
But Jerry Walker was great as his sub
And to the esteemed 300-win club
Early would finally arrive

237-SUDDEN SINKER
Bob Wickman made pitching an art
After as a kid he lost a finger part
With Cleveland he saved several games
By striking out many big names
With his sinker that dove like a dart

@MrCleveland_216 2nd stanza
Too bad Larvell couldn’t field
That weakness was soon revealed
Since he didn’t care for the bench
He turned a stink into a stench
And soon his fate was sealed

@MrCleveland_216 From ebook Turning Tribe Curses Into Verses
112-LITTLE LARVELL
A tough out in a pinch
When a hit was no cinch
Oh how we would marvel
At our little Larvell
At bat, he’d never flinch

36-SONNY’S NO-NO
That pitcher of ours they called Sonny
Could make the ball hop like the Easter bunny
Siebert set the Senators down on no hits
Thanks in part to Alvis’ and Salmon’s mitts
To Tribe fans his pitching was like sweet honey

@portnoyonsol @stoolpresidente Using that logic if ND wins then Northern Illinois fans can say they are better since they beat them in South Bend.
