Trade-deadline limericks

July 31, 2007 at 4:48 pm by Russell McLendon in Sports

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
