Game 49 – Dodgers 8 Cubs 2

Seems the Cubs offense

Is back to working only

Every other day

—

Bad start for Marshall

First five Dodgers hit singles

Cubs start down five zip

[25-24]

Just Say No To Manny?

Is Manny an All-Star?

If you say no, then you must

Vote against him now

–or–

Another blogger

Wants you to Vote For Manny

It’s “one part satire”

Game 48 – Dodgers 0 Cubs 7

Great start by Dempster

Bradley, Johnson, Fontenot

Brought their bats today

—

Have you noticed that

Since Cotts left for Iowa

Cubs are three-and-one

[25-23]

Game 47 – Dodgers 1 Cubs 2

First Cubs victory

When scoring less than four runs

We need more of that

[24-23]

Describing this game

Requires just four characters

and one syllable

Game 46 – Dodgers 2 Cubs 1

Worse than double play?

Leaving the bases loaded

Bottom of the ninth

[23-23]

Game 45 – Pirates 2 Cubs 5

Second straight Cubs win

This one a direct result

Of sending Cotts down

—

After Reed’s home run

Blanco and Fox provide bats

For some insurance

—

In a one run game

That ninth inning might not have

Turned out quite the same

[23-22]

Roster Moves – Cotts Down, Fox Up

Cubs fans are happy

Cotts is where he belongs now

Likewise for Jake Fox

Game 44 – Pirates 1 Cubs 6

Cubs losing streak ends

Because rain ended the game

Before Cotts could pitch

— or —

Cubs losing streak ends

Offense provides the diff’rence

Six runs in five frames

[22-22]

Game 43 – Pirates 10 Cubs 8

The Cubs score 8 runs

Still lose their 8th in a row

Thanks to Mr. Cotts

[21-22]
