The Cubs In Haiku

Moving Day

Big news …

The Cubs In Haiku
Is moving (and expanding)
For more haiku fun

The Cubs In Haiku is now part of Chicago Sports In Haiku.

This new concept in sports haiku blogs will feature several bloggers, each following one of Chicago’s major sports teams. We believe we are the only blog covering all major Chicago sports in haiku.

You can find us on Chicago Now or by pointing your browser to www.chicagosportsinhaiku.com.

None of the Cubs content will change, but you’ll find haiku about the Bulls, Bears, Blackhawks and even … … the White Sox.

If that scares you, the old URL (www.thecubsinhaiku.com) will soon bring you to the “Cubs” category on the new blog (instead of to this page) so you can endulge your inner Cubbiness without distraction.

But I believe you’ll find all of our new haiku bloggers fun to read and hope you’ll make Chicago Sports In Haiku a regular stop in your daily web browsing. As always, don’t be afraid to click on the “Comment” link.

Thanks to everyone who visited or participated here, and helped this idea to become so popular over the past year.

It happens again

Cubs come back to win the game

On final at bat

Timely hits, combined

With aggressive base running

And then Kerry Wood

Throws it in the dirt – wild pitch

Blanco scores – Cubs win!
