Game 65 – Indians 2 Cubs 6

Not a comeback win

A relaxing afternoon

The Cubs never trailed

—

Wells gets his first win

Cubs win streak reaches four games

Happy Father’s Day

[34-31]

Game 64 – Indians 5 Cubs 6

It happens again

Cubs come back to win the game

On final at bat

—

Timely hits, combined

With aggressive base running

Blanco stands on third

—

And then Kerry Wood

Throws it in the dirt – wild pitch

Blanco scores – Cubs win!

[33-31]

Game 63 – Indians 7 Cubs 8

Cubs come back again

Second straight game that calls for

multiple haiku

—

Behind seven zip

It looked hopeless once again

But the Cubs fought back

—

Two solo home runs

Fifth frame Reed, Lee in the sixth

Then came inning eight

—

Four hits,  a walk and

A Cleveland error later

Cubs score four – down one

—

Ninth inning home run

Lee’s second of today’s game

Sends it to extras

—

Tenth inning, two outs

Fonzie singles, steals and scores

On Ryan’s single

—

The Cardiac Cubs

Have returned to Wrigley Field

And it feels so good

[32-31]

Game 62 – White Sox 5 Cubs 6

Because I was there

I think today’s game deserves

Several haiku

—

Not much excitement

‘Til the bottom of the eighth

Two on and two out

—

Then, back-to-back jacks

First Derrek Lee’s three run shot

Next, Geo Soto

—

Suddenly, we’re tied

And the White Sox fans are shocked

Thought they had it won

—

Bottom of the ninth

Reed singles, moves to second

Still there with two outs

—

Then, Soriano

Bloops a single to right, and

Wrigley is rockin’

[31-31]

[thanks to Michael in Wheeling for the great last line]

Game 61 – White Sox 4 Cubs 1

After two days off

Were our Cubbies that bad, or

Was Danks just that good?

—

My silver lining?

John Danks is a pitcher on

My fantasy team

—

But – always a but

One of my other pitchers

Is Ryan Dempster

[30-31]

Crosstown Classic – PPD

Tuesday night’s Cubs game

Postponed on account of rain

Third time this season

Game 60 – Twins 2 Cubs 3

Another close one

But the Cubs come out on top

Win it in the ninth

—

Three straight one base hits

From Lee, Soto, Theriot

Gets winning run home

[30-30]

Game 59 – Twins 2 Cubs 0

Pitching remains good

Hitting remains anemic

Losses piling up

—

Cubs record slips to

Below five hundred again

Third time this season

[29-30]

Game 58 – Twins 7 Cubs 4

Dear Milton Bradley:

Just in case you didn’t know

Three outs per inning

—

Not your fault Cubs lost

But that defensive “error”?

Inexcusable

—

And let’s not forget

Base running gaffe in the sixth

Ball lost in the sun

[29-29]

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]
