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?
