It is being reported this afternoon that the Milwaukee Brewers and Prince Fielder have come to an agreement on a 2 year contract pending a physical (I, for one, would like to be the proverbial fly on the wall for that medical adventure). Feeling obligated to comment on this, but also not being able to escape the unforgiving confines of Wolf Blitzer’s Situation Room I have decided to express my feelings through the ancient art of the Japanese haiku. This should finally put an end to those nasty rumors that the Just A Bit Outside crew and Captain Fantastic have turned their collective backs on the site's vast Japanese fan base. Let’s ride….
Captain Fantastic presents “Heavy is the Body that Wears the Crown” or “Prince Fielder Haiku #1”
A Captain Fantastic Joint.
Prince inks agreement,
Homeruns rain on his Kingdom;
No Meat, No Meat, Yes

Arm of a little leaguer
Who needs more pitching?
Ginsberg's "Howl" has nothing on that.
ReplyDeleteStay tuned for my thoughts on an exclusive one question interview with a chatroom computerbot that was possibly Doug Melvin.
