Olson Traded

Bye, Garrett Olson
We hope you ‘ll fondly recall
Your week as a Cub

Inauguration Day

Today’s the big day
Barack Hussein Obama
Our new President
—
He’s from Chicago
But a fan of the White Sox
‘Cause he’s from Hyde Park
—
Which pol’s a Cubs fan?
(Soon to be former) Gov’ner
Rod Blagojevich
—
Blago is the curse!
First we impeach him, and then
Cubs make the Series.

Convention – Day 3

Best new player name?
Daytona’s Darwin Barney
The next Theriot?
—
Convention’s over
It’s time to start counting down
A month ’til Mesa

Convention – Day 2

Today’s fun surprise
Yosh Kawano spent two hours
Signing autographs
—
Met the Cubscast guys
And several listeners
‘Twas a nice visit
—
Thousands heard Big Z
Talk about his no hitter
And imitate Lou

Convention – Day 1

Milton Bradley got
A pretty good reception
From convention fans
–
I heard a few boos
For Hendry and Alfonso
Not a big surprise
–
But for Ron Santo
The ballroom erupted with
A chant: “Hall of Fame”

Milton Bradley?

You think Life’s a game?
What our Operation needs
Are some switch hitters
—
So says Jim Hendry
But deciphering his plans?
A game of Twister
—
Will it all fit right?
Like using all of your tiles
While playing Scrabble
—
This ain’t Candyland
Or Hungry, Hungry Hippo
It’s Cubbie Baseball!
—
We’re all pretty tired
Of spending each October
Playing Parcheesi

DeRosa Moves East

Cleveland gets D-Ro
Cubbies pick up Aaron Miles
This is a good thing?
