Who knew in April?

Game 38: Brewers 8 Cardinals 4

Mat arrives with bomb
But the day brought somber news.
Can he play second?

Weeks out for the year
Crew swept Cards tonight for you
Get well soon Rickie

Kendall's history
Broken bone to milestone
2,000 base hits

Strobe erupts night sky
Quiet connects light and ... BOOM!
Game, in a flash, gone.

Yovani goes the

distance, holding the Astros

on the launching pad.

Brew Crew Haiku's bad
Only one reference to Yo
Many more to come

Game 4: Brewers 4, Cubs 3

No ticket this year
Sitting at home on my couch
Beer is much cheaper
-dz

Rickie hesitates
Then makes mad dash for home plate
Miller Park erupts

Spring-Training-ku

Sure, Weeks is healthy.
But we must avoid being
The Hartless Bastards.

Spring training looks good
Rickie Weeks is playing better
Hope springs eternal.

April losing streak
Injuries take the field
Season dreamt last night

Brew Crew Haiku is back for another round of 5-7-5 commentary on the Milwaukee Brewers' 2009 season. Any and all are invited to submit Brewer haiku throughout the season, and look for us to renew our friendly rivalry with The Cubs in Haiku, which is already up and running with haiku from spring training. Good luck to all and happy haiku-ing!

Aug. 20 - Brewers 5, Astros 2

See Weeks walk three times
See Weeks cross home plate three times
See Crew win by three

August 6 - Brewers: 6 Reds: 3

Hart, Weeks getting warm
Top of rotation comes up
Time to spank the Nats
-DZ

July 29 - Brewers 4, Cubs 6

List of things that kill:
Smoking, drunk driving, crack, guns,
Weeks at second base
-DZ

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
-db


And our Cubs frienemies gloat:

Sabathia who?
Cubs bats hot versus the ace
One down, three to go.
-Ed

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

Enjoy this line up:
Zambrano, Harden, Dempster.
Enjoy your deer fun!
-Steven

July 21 - Brewers 6, Cardinals 3 (10 innings)

Weeks muffs and duffs
But Billy Hall still wins games
Torres unearns win
-DZ

July 20 - Brewers 7, Giants 4

Parra, me see him
Makes Giants bats look sickly
That's just cilia
~SA

Weak play at second:
Ricky, we hardly knew ya
Durham settles in



Hart combs all-star's hair
Braun-y soaks up the bullpen
Giant July sweep
-db

June 9 - Off Day

Weeks on the DL

He hasn't been hitting so well

Rest may help him gel.

-MHB

Weeks goes on DL
Joining Bill Hall and Gagne
At the checkout line
~SA

May 22 - Brewers 4, Pirates 8

Weeks is heating up
Rising like sun in morning
Bush sinks like cold stone

Hit parade rolls on:
One notable 0 for 4
Anyone seen Prince?

Game story

May 21 - Brewers 4, Pirates 1

Sheets stops Pittsburgh bats
Sheets solves the bullpen problem
Two words: contract year.
~SA

Forget average-
Fleet Weeks carrying offense
Two more runs come home

Sheets scatters the hits
Eleven of them in nine
Like weeds left to die
-DZ


Game story


Note: Today is our 50th post! Nice job haiku-sters! Only 112 (or so) to go ...

April 2 - Brewers 8, Cubs 2 @ Chicago

Ricky's back ... fast ball
Ricky's hand ... hanging curve ball
First pitch home run - ouch!
-Dustin

Line drive down the line

Diving stab leaves Lee supine

Winning run feels fine.
