AGAIN
We lost to Milwaukee again.
Will somebody please tell me when,
We will win on the road?
I’m about to explode.
Randy Wolf pitched like 10 cardboard men.
This time we really got beat.
The players are feeling the heat
Of a hot pennant race.
We must pick up the pace,
Or get left standing out in the street.

SWEPT
Bob Uecker can stand up and cheer
The second Brewer sweep of the year.
Our big hitters slept,
And so we got swept.
I think I’ll go cry in my beer.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
Hard to believe, Harry.
Four homers by Thome and Burrell is scary.
The Cardinal’s were cruisin’
The Phillies were losin’,
What’s the Greek word for carry?

SOMEHOW
Somehow we’re staying on top.
Though the road trip so far is a flop.
Four losses in five
Is no way to stay alive,
These frustrating losses must stop.

BLANKED – BY BRETT TOMKO?
Once again the big bats were blanked.
They were limp, they were silent, they were tanked.
Hey guys, we know it’s a tough game,
But his time it’s a pure bloody shame.
Shutout by Brett Tomko? You should be spanked.
