An Argument in Support of Signing Jim Edmonds: It's Driving Cardinals Fans Crazy
Published 5/15/2008 by Cubnut at The Cub Reporter (TCR) | A Chicago Cubs Blog -
From Bernie Miklasz, writing in Thursday's St. Louis Post-Dispatch: The idea of the greatest center fielder in Cardinals history stumbling in wobbly pursuit of balls hit over his head is depressing. The reality that Jimmy will be teammates with Carlos Zambrano — who plunked him twice in a raucous game at Wrigley back in 2004 — makes no sense... "He feels like he has something left to give this game," Cardinals outfielder Skip Schumaker said. "I'm happy for him. I still ...

Miklasz: Edmonds in a Cubs uniform? The thought is mind-boggling Bernie, Miklasz, Saddam Hussein, Jim Edmonds and Will Leitch...it’s a damn qualudfecta!

Man: The Edmonds Thing Is Really Happening [Jim Edmonds]
Published 5/15/2008 by Will Leitch at Deadspin
... Augh ... man, the Cubs really did sign Jim Edmonds. Other than Pujols or Willie McGee signing with those guys, we can't imagine our brains hurting more than they do to see this. And we're sure Cubs fans don't feel any better about it. Proceed with extreme caution, Jim; Cards fans can no longer protect you, nor will they want to. ...
