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

Sabathia who?
Cubs bats hot versus the ace
One down, three to go.

Tuesday: Cubs 7, Brewers 1

Two aces have pitched,
Brewers are down oh and two.
Just too much good stuff!

Wednesday: Cubs 7, Brewers 2

The Cubs romp again.
Feeling bad for the Brew Crew,
Hate them less than Cards.

Thursday: Cubs 11, Brewers 4

Oh, how “sweep” it is
Edmonds grand slam clinches it
Harden gets the win
