In honor of the start of the college football season, Nabila Lovelace writes a poem for Alabamas 2015 Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry.LISTEN ?For Derrick HenryDerrick Henry & I have similar sized hands.I know byway of immortality:a cast of them in hardened cement,a feature of the co-captain shrineon the Tuscaloosa Quad.My mama wants to know if I have seen himIRL & my patience glints in its smallness.This campus is big in its body; doublesin density on game days.Truthfully, I have aged outof college campus recognition,but mama insists on his unordinary:to spot a 63, black man, 250lbs is a possiblemiracle.& I will not say of his staturea correlation to an inhuman body i.e. any non-bipedalor feathered one. A someone,someone could miss place w/ myth;Henry...a durable guy.?The adjective durable:a cramped closet of tragic names,the collapse of a bodys heightunder condensed lead.Sen. John Tyler Morgan was a college sports fanin his want of human bodiesto perform an unpaid labor.Meaning, I have a relationto the most tragic of namesthat university buildings are named after.& the stadium is dressed in Henrysname every night:A man who drove 357 milesin a truck with two confederate flags as axleschants Henrys name for the Heisman.& I am in awe of how the fieldspreads across a century.I live in 2016, a year w/ linagebeyond a goal post. & I cryseeing Henrys hands forever in the ground.Hands ive never seen, but through the TV screen.& here even John Tyler Morgan must love the man w/ skinhed have once vouched to burn back to the earth.I cheer w/ my mama for Henry winning the Heisman.The game ends & the stadium is an emptying lake.Blood rises when we win. Its tradition. Raise glasses& hope his mama good. Heres to the land of gamethat lets a man reclaim the land.Nabila Lovelace is a 2015 Callaloo Creative Writing Workshop fellow, finalist for the Emerge-Be-Surface fellowship 2014, and a winner of the 2013 Poets & Writers Amy Award.

SAN DIEGO -- Drew Pomeranz found it no big deal to be back at Petco Park. He didnt find a win, either.The former Padres ace got outpitched by Edwin Jackson on Monday and the Boston Red Sox fell to San Diego 2-1.I had the most adrenaline when I was here the last time for the All-Star Game, Pomeranz said. Im at the point where Im just trying to get outs and it doesnt matter where Im at.Padres manager Andy Green saw a Pomeranz he remembered well.He looked exactly the same to me, Green said. He was good -- flipping the curveball wherever he wants to.Pomeranz (2-4 for Boston) was an All-Star for the Padres this season and 8-7 in the NL before being traded to the Red Sox in mid-July.I think Drew gave us what we kind of anticipated -- (105) pitches and six quality innings of work, Boston manager John Farrell said.Pomeranz gave up two runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out five with a walk.A two-run homer by Adam Rosales was enough for Jackson and San Diego bullpen. Pomeranz said he missed on a fastball to Rosales.It just leaked back over the plate, Pomeranz said. I was having trouble locating my pitches and he took advantage of one.It definitely wasnt one of my best days, he said. I was struggling with my rhythm and timing and I had a hard time locating some of my pitches. I couldnt get some big outs when I needed to.Jackson (4-5) struck out 11 in seven scoreless innings. He gave up four hits and ended his three-start losing streak.Brandon Maurer worked the ninth for his eighth savee in 13 chances.dddddddddddd He gave up a one-out single to Hanley Ramirez, then struck out Jackie Bradley Jr. and got pinch hitter David Ortiz on a flyball.Chris Youngs pinch-hit homer off reliever Brad Hand to open the eighth cut the Padres lead to 2-1.Aaron Hill followed with a pinch-hit double but was stranded at third when Hand struck out Brock Holt and Xander Bogaerts.Ramirez had three hits for Boston.Bostons best chance against Jackson came in the seventh. But with two on and none out, he got Bradley to ground into a double play and fanned Yoan Moncada on a full-count offspeed pitch.We got a couple of opportunities with really good hitters at the plate, Farrell said. But unfortunately we dont execute to tie the game up.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: RHP Koji Uehara (strained pectoral muscle) was activated off the disabled list. He will be available on Tuesday, Farrell said.Padres: CF Jon Jay (right forearm) will be added to the roster on Tuesday after playing in three minor league games. Jay missed 66 games.UP NEXTRed Sox: RHP Clay Buchholz (5-10, 5.20) gets the nod for the middle game of the three-game series. In his last three starts, he is 1-0 and has allowed just one run in two of them.Padres: RHP Paul Clemens (2-4, 4.93) has set a career high with nine starts but his last one was rocky when he lasted by three innings, charged with two runs and four hits.
