- Cubs Poem for 2004
- Written by Brian Dougherty 2/4/04
-
- The Cubs will soar in ’04
- The ‘stros hit the floor in ’04
- The pirates still poor in ’04
- The redbirds will bore in ’04
- The Brew crew will snore in ’04
- The Reds won’t score in ‘04
-
- Can this finally be next year
- The rest of the Central fear
- For with Prior, Carlos and Wood
- We have the best not just good
- Add in the goatee and Cruz
- No way in ‘04 can we lose
-
- The Cards got Suppan, King, Kline, Morris and
izzy
- But if the Cards Fans think that’s enough
they’re dizzy
- And when the balls fly out in Minute Maid
Park
- Andy and Roger will wish they could pitch in
the dark
- The Pirates seem to be a little bit improved in
’04
- But not enough for them to increase wins any
more
- The Reds have Griffey - but their pitching
blows
- Their season will be overshadowed by a
selfish Rose
- The only real news in Milwaukee is the team
is for sale
- But who in their right mind wants to spend
money and fail
-
- So as the Cubbies continue to build and grow
- And the fans have lived long enough to know
- That every season brings us something new
- This is the year to celebrate Cubby Blue
-
- Sammy, Patterson, Aramis, and Gonzales too
- Add Lee, Grudz, Barrett and Moises Alou
- Bako, Walker, Goodwin, T.H. and Martinez on
the bench
- With our bullpen so deep we are sure to
clinch
-
- The best Cub team we have seen in our time
- But something we have like a poet and his
rhyme
- We have the secret weapon - the smartest
playmaker
- We have the best manager in baseball Dusty
Baker
-
