After Indy, there's
A need for peace and quiet
So I'm suggesting
A BCB day,
Today, where everyone will
Post baseball thoughts in
Haiku only. Use
The traditional format
For it, that is, write
Five syllables, then
Seven in the second line,
then five 'gain. See how
Easy it is? So try
It yourself, think of baseball
Thoughts you can express
In traditional
Japanese haiku format.
I will be the first:
Hendry tried. Really,
He did. But no teams wanted
Milton, so he stays.
(With a hat tip to
Chicago Sports In Haiku,
The best site for this.)

I am so tired
Of all these Milton rumors.
My head will asplode.

Needs something of the season
Spring training, come soon!

Jim Hendry lost in
the trade of Milton Bradley
on the gullible.
mrcubsfan - December 11, 2009
Milton is still here
Despite Jim Hendry’s efforts
I think I need beer
Ihatethecards - December 11, 2009
let me get this straight
five syllables then seven
then five and your done

Good haiku
Wrong use of the word “you’re”
Musicdude10 - December 11, 2009
FAIL
cozmotaylor123 - December 11, 2009
Pesky homonyms
They can all be quite tricky
Don’t be defensive
Shanghai Badger - December 13, 2009
Hendry’s spendthrift ways
Now are coming home to roost
Let’s hope Cubs don’t suck
Shanghai Badger - December 11, 2009
Dude, that was a haiku!
Hundred sixty two
games in ball season. Win lots
without Bradley here

too much ado much ado
one thousand posts? phew!
Emelie - December 11, 2009
I will not join in
i have better things to do
than write in haiku
davidalanu - December 11, 2009
you will not write one
in a box nor will you write
one for Jake Q. Fox?
Shanghai Badger - December 11, 2009
Even if I could
I can’t imagine I would
write in such a way
davidalanu - December 11, 2009
Would it be too lame
If it promoted Dawson
for the Hall of Fame?
Shanghai Badger - December 11, 2009
if that is the case
I think I could get on board
The Hawk deserves it.
davidalanu - December 11, 2009
This is really dumb
I would rather eat yard waste
Nice offseason, James

De do do do, De
Da da da. That’s all I have
to say to you…all.
Zeke - December 11, 2009
I had such high hopes
We’d finally see the day
Milton was traded
lostinthevines - December 11, 2009
You may yet see that
Do not think this is over
Hendry still works hard
Al Yellon - December 11, 2009
You may well be right
Hendry works hard you say? So
Do washing machines
DMCub - December 11, 2009
that's funny :)
cooliogirl47 - December 11, 2009
Working hard and some
Success are not always hand
In hand my friend Al

Thanks for your kind words
This whole thread is like one long
Fantastic voyage

Do not let Bradley
Fully occupy your minds
Between now and spring
MN exile - December 11, 2009
Too late for that dude
Cub fans are in some bad moods
At least the hawks rule
Musicdude10 - December 11, 2009
Still cold in Indy
Why is Milton still a Cub
Please make a trade, Jim
Bill Potter - December 11, 2009
Winter Meetings over
To Al, Jessica and all
Happy Hanukkah
Shanghai Badger - December 11, 2009
Dang it. Too many syllables
over = done
Shanghai Badger - December 11, 2009
You could have written
Dang it, too many
Syllables causes error
in haiku. Over = done.
Al Yellon - December 11, 2009
Your point is taken
You have too many at end
Thanks for the effort
Shanghai Badger - December 11, 2009
the equal sign was
not intended to be part
of the word count. There.
Al Yellon - December 11, 2009
“In haiku over”
Is already five good sir
Done makes six, a pity
Shanghai Badger - December 11, 2009
Sheesh. Now, I see it.
Embarrassing is the word
For what I did there.
Al Yellon - December 11, 2009
Al, you really seem
to have a problem counting
one, two, three, four, five
Hank493 - December 11, 2009
Reason is quite clear
He works at Channel Seven
Will not count to Five
Shanghai Badger - December 11, 2009
However, notice
That Badger’s reply to my
Mistake is wrong too
Al Yellon - December 11, 2009
And so it does seem,
the patrons of BCB
cannot count to five
Hank493 - December 11, 2009
Five is the number
Your enemy is naughty
He shall thus snuff it
Shanghai Badger - December 11, 2009
You are quite correct
I did not want to promote
Your rival station
Shanghai Badger - December 11, 2009
The error is in
The post made at the time of
Ten Oh One Ay Em
Al Yellon - December 11, 2009
More caution needed
When posting a haiku here
Preview is my friend
Shanghai Badger - December 11, 2009
See how easy it
Is to have an entire talk
Using just this format
Al Yellon - December 11, 2009
Indeed it can be
I hope you got the humor
Seven versus Five
Shanghai Badger - December 11, 2009
No Harden for Cubs
Bradley still hangin’ around
How can Cubs improve?
Miles is sent away
Patton not filling a spot
is the sun shining?
This is not funny
Are you Tiger Woods honey?
If yes, make money
Back to our Cub mess
I still hold out for progress
115 days—yes!
LAcarl519 - December 11, 2009
Your Woods haiku is
One of the best I have seen
It made me laugh. Good!
Al Yellon - December 11, 2009
Snowy white the fields
Echos cheers faded away
Anticipation
eths - December 11, 2009
Haikus are stupid
Why am I wasting my time?
Bradley traded yet?
ZeoBandit - December 11, 2009
Can I do a limerick instead?
There once was a ballplayer named Bradley
Who alienated his team very badly
They tried to trade him away
The other teams said “no way”
Are we stuck with him? the fans feared sadly
katie casey - December 11, 2009
A good suggestion
Perhaps we should revisit
On St. Patrick’s Day
Shanghai Badger - December 11, 2009
Maybe I was subconsciously jumping ahead to when it's closer to spring.
Here’s something a little more seasonal.
The Four Main Food Groups
For elves: candy, candy canes,
Candy corns, syrup
katie casey - December 11, 2009
awesome!
There once was a man from….
Oops, can’t post that one here!!!!
cubssouvenirman - December 11, 2009
There was a right fielder from Nantucket...
who couldn’t catch balls with a bucket.
They’d bounce in the stands.
He’d shrug, hips with hands
and snarl: “What else you got?” Nothin’? Then #&%@##!*^#!
Zeke - December 11, 2009
Dreams of warm weather
Baseball, hot dogs and some beers
It’s freezing outside

Bored and so cold
I sit at my desk waiting
For ivy, hope, pennants
Musicdude10 - December 11, 2009
Snow is on the ground
I miss my seat in left field

Make this off season tragic
Move on to eleven?

Jim Hendry is working on it so never fear
us Cubsfan will take care of it we will just pay $8 a beer

BLou is a tool
Bleed Cubbie Blue is better
When he doesn’t post
El Borto - December 11, 2009
Does Blue Mike’s new name
count one or two syllables
Haiku conundrum
ballhawk - December 11, 2009
I always thought of it as B Lou but I guess it could be Blew
Villeslgr - December 11, 2009
Dammit Haiku Fail
B Lou or Blew you decide
Just Haiku reply
Villeslgr - December 11, 2009
Jim, make the damn deal
Perhaps for Double Bubble
Or some Big League Chew
Sckrambo - December 11, 2009
I admit I guess
I must be bored working “hard”
To post a ton of these
Yet here I remain
Typing away still about
Milton’s stupid face
Musicdude10 - December 11, 2009
Al, the fourth stanza
forgot to count syllables
last line, it has six
please, if you suggest
odd activities like this
at least do it right
Hank493 - December 11, 2009
You are correct, Hank
I must have miscounted when
I did that. Will fix.
Al Yellon - December 11, 2009
Sheets? Young? Halladay? Milwood?
No Soup for you!
Byrd and Burrell instead.
The Jade Scorpion - December 11, 2009
this haiku is bad
terribly formed, i must say
please learn how to count
Hank493 - December 11, 2009
Not just seventeen,
5-7-5 in order!
Inexcusible!
The Jade Scorpion - December 11, 2009
just platoon milton
with fukudome in right
and be done with it
circuitclout - December 11, 2009
Fukudome fits
Perfectly in right field so
Don’t mess with that please
Musicdude10 - December 11, 2009
it makes perfect sense
to have milton face lefties
you neanderthal
Hank493 - December 11, 2009
The Cubs have already
Guys who can hit lefties and
Aren’t complete assholes
Musicdude10 - December 11, 2009
But Fukudome
isn’t a lefty masher
yet Milton sure is
Hank493 - December 11, 2009
Two words for you sir
Are all I need to prove you
are wrong: Reed Johnson
Musicdude10 - December 11, 2009
ignorance is bliss
johnson is a free agent
he is not a cub
circuitclout - December 11, 2009
But! Reed Johnson can
Easily return to the
North side. I hope so.
Al Yellon - December 11, 2009
is it wrong that i
would like rocco baldelli
to platoon with fuld?
circuitclout - December 11, 2009
I think that’s fine
As long as he stays in line
And healthy is good
Musicdude10 - December 11, 2009
Had hope for oh nine
Struggled through: Now things look worse
My heart aches still. Sigh
Musicdude10 - December 11, 2009
Milton is still here
Opening day drawing near
Jim, get on the phone!!!!!!!
cubssouvenirman - December 11, 2009
The troughs are staying
Thus I must ask the question
Why can’t Milton go?

Writing about Cubs in haiku
Soto needs to slim
Al Yellon - December 11, 2009
Soto twenty pounds
slimmer is who I’d like to
mmm… mmm… mmm… (can’t say out loud).
Emelie - December 11, 2009
think how you both can
get him to lose all those pounds
and then… just do it
ballhawk - December 11, 2009
Cub fans are so dumb
Cuz Milton Bradley is good
cant replace on-base
Hank493 - December 11, 2009
They could if they just
Put Fukudome leadoff
As they should have done
Al Yellon - December 11, 2009
Look, what do you want
Me to do here? These guys need
To play good baseball.
DMCub - December 11, 2009
All they need to do
Is hit run catch and throw well
World series could happen
Musicdude10 - December 11, 2009
Actually, it’s
“Look, what do you want me to
say?” Don’t mess with Lou.
Emelie - December 11, 2009
Look, you can’t expect me
To remember everything
Word for word, cut slack?
DMCub - December 11, 2009
consider slack cut
just joshing with the gospel
that is all things Lou

There’s nothing left to explain
Truth: Theriot sucks.

Has decided to join me
Go Andres Blanco!
santoswoodenlegs - December 11, 2009
Theriot is meh
But things could be so much worse
Neifi Perez, son
Musicdude10 - December 11, 2009
Theriot led us
In hits and stolen bases
Riot does not suck
In Piniella We Trustiella - December 12, 2009

Mind him so much if he was
Playing second base
santoswoodenlegs - December 12, 2009

but first time he play second
choke on soup you will

Three years before; argument

Haiku in English
I didn’t know haiku in English is such popular over there.
I like it in Japanese and also free-haiku which is not restricted in 17 letters (such as traditional Jazz vs free Jazz), lead by Santoka Taneda. It’s fun.

All this Haikuing
Was really Dan’s idea
We have a soup club

10 mil a year to
bitch and moan and suck and rant
I’ll do that for half
Musicdude10 - December 11, 2009
When the season starts
If Milton is still a Cub
You’ll do it for free

True that santos legs
I’ll have to stick to min wage
Behind a desk. Sigh

Ode to the Pirates
A salary floor
Would make teams like the Pirates
Rebuild like Royals
Bradsbeard - December 11, 2009
Ode to the Yankees
A salary cap
Would make teams like the Yankees
Outspend other farms

Hope for the future:
Castro, Vitters and Cashner

Bradsbeard - December 11, 2009
Or for the holidays
On Starlin, on Josh
On DJ, on Logan and
his buddy Hak-Ju
On Brett and Jay with
Our Chris Carpenter, and win
For Ryno today
That is kinda weak
But after the time I spent
I had to post it.
tim815 - December 11, 2009
Just for the record
I liked your poem but
It’s Cris with no H
Musicdude10 - December 11, 2009
You are correct, Sir
My memory is failing
Too long since a game
tim815 - December 11, 2009
Agreed my good sir
The snow will make fools of all
I want ivy and sun
Musicdude10 - December 11, 2009
Old school
Oh for the days of
Mike Proly, Scot Thomson, and
Miguel Dilone.
tim815 - December 11, 2009
More old school
Back, Back, Back, Hey Hey

Watch it!! Oh, brother!

New Bruce Miles blog says
Cubs will offer arb to all
Except Neal Cotts
Al Yellon - December 11, 2009
Except FOR Neal Cotts.
santoswoodenlegs - December 11, 2009
I guess that depends
on whether cotts’ first name is
multi-syllabic
tim815 - December 11, 2009
Ignorance
Who is this Bradley?
I visit this site often
Never heard of him.
tim815 - December 11, 2009
maybe phil bradley?
Macomb Illinois hitman
one mean Mizzou ’stache
ballhawk - December 11, 2009
Why not keep Bradley
If no other team wants him.
Let’s Go Cubs, Let’s Go.

tim815 - December 11, 2009
We need to haiku
About our next potential
shortstop Hak- Ju
Lee’s from Korea
Plays loose now on defense
We hope that improves
He hits the ball well
Does well on the basepaths I’m
not sure that’s allowed
I’m getting sleepy
But figure someone might be
Done with Bradley stuff
tim815 - December 11, 2009
Starlin looks good too
But I’m fraid he’s a tweener
Hak-Ju is all that
Bradsbeard - December 11, 2009
dont agree with this
i’ll say one final thing though
he’s a bag of chips
jesus christos - December 11, 2009
Hak-Ju is younger
With better plate discipline
And plus speed to boot!
Bradsbeard - December 11, 2009
but castro looks like mj
the young and black mj i mean
minus the afro

SUPER OT: Bulls Tickets
I’ve got a pair right behind the Bulls bench for tonight (as in… the game in one hour and 38 minutes) that i can’t use…
Section 102
Row 7
Seat 4
Free if you can pick up in the Gold Coast… just want them to get used.
Sorry to thread-jack, just wanted to get the word out.
The Bulls suck this year
But these seats are really good
Any takers here?
AndrewJStone - December 11, 2009
Vinny Del Negro
Has ruined the Bulls for me.
I just can’t watch it.
Goodie1969 - December 11, 2009
Crappy they are, yes
But last night, an OT win!
The Bulls, fun once more
AndrewJStone - December 12, 2009
Signs of Cubs future
Evermore questionable
Swing away, Merrill

To see how clever we are
Hey-Hey, Holy Mack

The End
And so, in the end
the love you make is equal

Lyric Haikus! Beastie Boys:
You think you can front?
What’cha, what’cha, what’cha want?
You can’t front on that.
AndrewJStone - December 12, 2009
It’s wintertime now.
The malls begin to fill up.
Happy holidays!
Vermont Cubs Fan - December 12, 2009
Lonely Christmas here
My parents will be out there
In Chicago. Sigh.
Vermont Cubs Fan - December 12, 2009
Five wins in a row!
The Packers will win Sunday.
Here we go, Green Bay!
Vermont Cubs Fan - December 12, 2009
More seriously,
Thanks, Al, for this nicer post.
I really like it!
Vermont Cubs Fan - December 12, 2009
I hate the Packers
But there is no doubt, really
That they’ll beat the Bears
Al Yellon - December 12, 2009
I hate the Vikings
More than any other team
Sorry, Chilango
Vermont Cubs Fan - December 12, 2009
Question for you, Al.
What team do you hate the most
In the NFL?
Vermont Cubs Fan - December 12, 2009
The Packers, for sure
It may be the colors or
That they are cheeseheads
Al Yellon - December 12, 2009
The above is with
Apologies to any
Wisconsinites here
Al Yellon - December 12, 2009
I used to live there.
In the mid-1990s.
Should explain a lot.
And I tell you now.
This is just friendly banter.
I know you mean well.
Vermont Cubs Fan - December 12, 2009
Nevertheless, I
Always hope the Packers lose
Tomorrow, they won’t.
Al Yellon - December 12, 2009
I do like the Bears
This may seem impossible.
But it is the truth.
For a good reason.
My mom is from Chicago.
She lived near Wrigley,
As a very young girl.
She never went to Wrigley
Not until ’04.
Vermont Cubs Fan - December 12, 2009
No offense taken
Jessica also roots for
The Green and the Gold
Cubby Bear Tavern
Home of a Packer Fan Club
Bears across street once
Shanghai Badger - December 12, 2009
Never say never.
You could be surprised Al that
the Bears might win it!
Now the Lions, sad to
say- does not matter if they
win. Ford still owns them.
Zeke - December 12, 2009
Surprised I will be
If the Jay Cutler led Bears
Defeat the Packers
Al Yellon - December 12, 2009
Pat and Ron’s voices
Soothe me when the Cubs play bad
They make me smile
Winter is real tough
No AM 720
Spring is fantastic
I listen each day
113 more
’til the Cubs return
In Piniella We Trustiella - December 12, 2009
Hey, how do I read
The second line of your poem,
In the last stanza?
Should I be saying
One hundred-and-thirteen or
One hundred thirteen?
Vermont Cubs Fan - December 12, 2009
Thanks from Chicago Sports In Haiku
A big thanks to Al
For the h/t to our blog
We’re truly honored
I’ll have to find time
To read all these great haiku
Quite a collection
thecubsinhaiku - December 12, 2009
Thanks for stopping by!
I enjoy your site a lot
Refrigerator
Al Yellon - December 13, 2009
Refrigerator
Refers to Munich weather?
Freezer, snowy cold
eths - December 14, 2009
The game has happened
The Bears played with gutsy drive.
But the Packers won.
On to Pittsburgh now.
Where the Steelers have lost six
Here we go, Green Bay!
Vermont Cubs Fan - December 13, 2009
They may be better
Than I considered last month
Still not convinced yet
Shanghai Badger - December 13, 2009
I told you the Pack
Would beat the Bears easily
Lovie must go. Now.
Al Yellon - December 14, 2009
on a lighter note...
I’m ending my night
Reading BCB haikus
Dexter ending sucked
