Groggy this morning
Stayed up too late watching game
Was it a bad dream?
-DZ
Week(s) effort for sure
But Fielder shows some life:
Royalty on tap
No July worries-
We can always bank on
A Cubbie collapse
Yost calls it 'great game'
Hope Ned likes watching 'great games'
from his couch next year

Mighty Cubs win one
Most fun game in a long time
Dust off the Blue brooms?

Enjoy your deer fun!

Haiku War!
Brew Crew wants to know
Who will be your goat this year?
An actual goat?

Like Cubs in Haiku
Chicago fans count up runs
As Brewers cross home.

With the big series starting tonight, our new friends/archenemies at Cubs in Haiku have issued a friendly haiku challenge to Brew Crew Haiku. See their responses in the comments, and please post your own!

Sunday just the start
Of a Brew Crew losing streak
Cubs will do damage
Ready for C.C.
Cubbie bats will come alive
At Wrigley Field North
And Steven:
Milwaukee better
enjoy their brief stay in first,
Wild Card more likely.
I'd have no use for
The entire state up North
If not for the beer.
It's filled with a bunch
of bass-fishin', cheese makin',
Favre-kissin' morons!
But during the race,
There will be no better pick -
Go Polish Sausage!
