Nobody Knows Who Your Players Are

Halfway through summer
  You delivered a bummer
Sold off all your big stars
  Nobody knows 
    who your new players are

Last night's game?
  You lost Ten-to-Nothing
Today you scored more
  Something like 17 to 4 

Poor fans have nothing to cheer
  We just cry in our beer
But, I'll come watch anyway
  'Course, my ticket YOU'LL pay 
     ~ I wasn't born yesterday!

"sold off all your big stars" - why would they do that? The world is upside down crazy.

The Cubbies have not competed this season. My beloved Red Sox are reverting to their old ways. Hope is not yet lost however. On another note I detest most of the new rule changes in baseball. They are very close to ruining my favorite game.

Cubbies are back to being losers -- just no longer lovable. Red Sox' are bleeding as well... At least Chicago has the Sox! How 'bout that game in Iowa last night, that 9-8 Sox winner?! Go, White Sox! As for the new rules, I kind of like the 7-inning doubleheaders myself. Cheers, Gershon

Hello Gershon ... I assume this is baseball you support, and it appears the club is having lean times - I hope for your sake Gershon the form returns - Lindsay
