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
