Though the Cards sit on top of the heap,
The Cubs seemed a lock for a sweep,
But middle-man Strop
With outs couldn’t cope,
And Rodney gave fans cause to weep.
Hilary Barta also runs the essential film-noir-and-monster-movie limerick site LimerWrecks.
So ugly yet so true. Well done.
The Cubbies are over-achievers
They’re swinging the bats like they’re cleavers
But finishing teams
And winning, it seems,
Ain’t easy with iffy relievers.
