Sports Trade-deadline limericks

Posted by Russell McLendon on Tue, Jul 31, 2007 at 9:48 PM

Now that the MLB's trade deadline has passed, here's an overview of the Braves' moves, in limerick form:

There once was a catcher named Salty

But his defense at first base was faulty

McCann is the future

And our lineup is sutured

By a first baseman whose numbers aren't paltry

There once was a GM named Schuerholz

Whose trade-deadline cred was pure gold(z)

We needed a lefty

And a closer who's not hefty

And now our roster has fewer holes
