Cubs Sweep the Brewers…in Haiku
Sheps and I can’t wait to discuss the series sweep at Miller Park in detail on Monday’s episode. If you’re visiting Cubscast for the first time, please check out our latest episodes or you can find us in iTunes. Cubscast is a free podcast on everything Cubs with new episodes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Anyway…
What a series vs. Milwaukee…the Cubs are now 21 games above .500 for the first time in 2008 and we’re 5 games in front of the Brewers after the 4-game sweep that was completed earlier this afternoon. If you’re looking for a little reading before the next episode debuts, we’d be remiss not to mention something you might say is a bit off-the-beaten I-94 path. Ed, a friend of Cubscast and frequenter of the Cubscast Message Board, runs a great themed blog called The Cubs in Haiku, which we’ve previously mentioned on the show.
Apparently earlier this week the gauntlet was thrown down by Brew Crew Haiku (we couldn’t make that up), and the haiku has been fast and furious on both sides. We present the following recap haikus following each game:
Monday: Cubs 6, Brewers 4
by Ed
Sabathia who?
Cubs bats hot versus the ace
One down, three to go.
Tuesday: Cubs 7, Brewers 1
by Cubs_Fan_34
Two aces have pitched,
Brewers are down oh and two.
Just too much good stuff!
Wednesday: Cubs 7, Brewers 2
by ArtVanDelay1774
The Cubs romp again.
Feeling bad for the Brew Crew,
Hate them less than Cards.
Thursday: Cubs 11, Brewers 4
by Ed
Oh, how “sweep” it is
Edmonds grand slam clinches it
Harden gets the win

Sabathia who was classic.
If I may retort:
Game 1:
C C, Meet D Lee
Richie’s Weak Throw Must Have Stung
When Lee won it late
Game 2:
Sheets, the Brewer’s Ace
But what’s the name sound like in
Venezuela?
Game 3:
Ah, Poor Milwaukee
Could the Brew Crew Beat Dempster?
A Parra-ntly Not.
Game 4:
Jim Edmonds showed ‘em
If you lay off bratwurst, no
Harden’d arteries.

Have a good one,
Lou

How ’bout David Wong?
Talented with the haiku
Impressive, indeed!
