Tell us a team's entire history in the form of a Haiku

[Hobnobs]

well don't stop there. at least tell us the correct rules.

Im not even going to try but I can tell you why english words dont work. The word "Stockholm" has two syllables, correct? Wrong, in japanese it has seven.

Should have played a game seven
Thanks, League. You blew it!

 

[WildGopher]

. . . The word "Stockholm" has two syllables, correct? Wrong, in japanese it has seven.

OK, if that word standing alone is 7 syllables, then does this work?

When does baseball start?

Overpriced and awful team,
How much is a beer?
