There is only one answer to this thread:
A flash of leather, a cannon's might,
Adames arrived, a glorious sight.
He anchored shortstop, with flair and with grace,
A spark in the lineup, a smile on his face.
The Brewers faithful, their hopes took a flight,
With Willy at short, everything felt right.
But payrolls and budgets, a difficult truth,
The cost to retain him, exceeded their youth.
With heavy hearts knowing his worth and his name,
They bid him farewell, though it wasn't the same.
When Counsel departed, a wound sharp and deep,
A leader, a legend, the promises to keep.
We cheered every move, every tactical call*,
Believed in his vision, he stood strong and tall.
The coffers were open, the offer was there,
To keep him in Milwaukee, beyond all compare.
Yet south he did wander, a bitterest sting,
To Wrigley's green ivy, the song Cubs will sing.
A rival, a foe, where our victories sting,
Craig's choice left a silence, where cheers used to ring.
