Season Previews: Chicago Cubs


With Spring Training underway, it's time for one of our favorite things in all the world: Season Previews. Three years ago, they began as a semi-serious analysis and ended up as half-assed haiku. We're just gonna go with what we know. Continuing with our preview of the National Leage Central, here is everyone's favorite hard-luck ballclub, the Chicago Cubs.

Big Z's still the ace
Dempster, Wells, Silva and Tom
are right behind him

Good riddance Milton
He is a ticking time bomb
Nice OBP though

Ryan The Riot
and Fontenot at second
Big D Lee at first

Soto at the plate
and Aramis Ramirez
at the third base spot

Alfonso and Byrd
out there with Fukudome
best jersey ever

There's Jeff Samardzija
or however you spell that
in the relief corps

With Carlos Marmol
Justin Berg, Caridad,
Grabow and Marshall

THIS IS THE CUBS YEAR!
IT'S THE YEAR OF THE CUBBIES!
THIS IS THE CUBS YEAR!

Okay, not really.
But we love us some Sweet Lou
That counts for something.

That picture is worth 1,000 angry words.

I was really excited until that last paragraph...

I went to a Cubs game this summer with my parents and some dude in a Fukudome jersey sat two rows in front of us. My mom was all, "Oh my gosh that is so inappropriate." And my dad goes, "Hunny, that's his name." The people behind us could not stop laughing.
