A few Cubbie haikus

My apologies to whomever wrote baseball haikus before me. And apologies to the Japanese poets who perfected this art form that I profane with my clumsy, clunky verse.

Milton Bradley
Don't blame the "boo" birds.
"Talent" doesn’t compensate
for your lax effort.


Geo Soto
Awesome first season –

Can it make up for how poor

His sophomore has been?

Mike Fontenot

Tired of short jokes

And endless LSU team notes.

He's a bench player.

Carlos Zambrano

Pointing at the sky,

Bluster, bravado, doesn't

get one a Cy Young.
