A Whimper, Not a Bang
by Hilary Barta
The Cubs and the Sox have done battle
The fans cheered their ‘siders like cattle
. But the final at bat
. Felt tiny and flat,
As A.J. gave up the death rattle
Of course you know, Hilary Barta is a world-class illustrator and pens limericks every day over at LimerWrecks, right? C’mon, get your head out of the sand.
The Fan Must First Admit He Has a Problem
by Hilary Barta
This season the Cubbies are ghastly.
The team’s overpaid something vastly.
. Against ne’er -do-well clubs,
. these error-prone schlubs
are beaten so bad they’ll end lastly.
The Cub fan deserves our attention.
Their club’s always out of contention.
. Yet they patiently cheer
. as they wait til next year.
What they need is a team intervention.
.
Check out the rest of Hilary’s rhyme and illustration work at LimerWrecks.
A Cub Fan’s Response to Peter Gammons
by Stuart Shea
“It’s a dump, Wrigley Field.” — Peter Gammons, radio interview
Peter Gammons is
A prep-school fool–uncool tool
Well past his sell date

A Double Limerick of Cubbie Grief
by Cary Donham
Doug Davis throws nothing but junk,
Zambrano acts like a punk,
. And Quade the boss
. Looks like he’s lost–
Another Cubs’ season is sunk.
Are Ricketts and Hendry still believing
While fans in the bleachers are grieving?
. ‘Cause the team on the field
. Is again getting killed.
Who can blame Ron Santo for leaving????
Macho Macho Mania
by Hilary Barta
That angry young Cub named Zambrano
Takes aim at team mano-a-mano.
. Their Triple-A game
. Fills Carlos with shame
And his rage will not wait till next anno.
.
Hilary Barta handles his rage by posting limericks every day at LimerWrecks.
