If Edmonds produces, fickle Cubdom will love him

  Most fans are fickle like that.  You can take Dennis Rodman for example.  When he was on the Pistons he was one of the most hated players in Bulls fandome history.  He would try to intentionally hurt Jordan and Pippen.  But once he came here, he produced, and then as we all saw, winning cured everything from Fans loving Rodman, to even MJ and Scottie becoming friends with him. 

  In the end,most fans just want their teams to win.  If it takes loving a former enemy to get rid of this 100 year losing streak of ours, then so be it!

Jay Mariotti writes Cubdom could love Jimmy Ballgame because he “produces in the precious present.” ESPN’s Page 2 says Edmonds’ ...

... up and down and up and down and I had no idea what would happen next.  It was fun. I am not enjoying the Padre roller coaster, though. The new guys have provided some spark.  We must've needed some spark on the bench last night.  (At the bottom here, you will note that Rusch declined his assignment and has been set free.  Free like a bird who can't get anyone out.) The human cesspool that is Jay Mariotti has his say on Edmonds. Khalil and his sister went to church. The NYT takes a ...

... in July 2004: Zambrano hit Edmonds with a pitch in the first inning at Wrigley Field. In the fourth, Edmonds hit a homer and admired his drive a little too long for Zambrano's liking. Zambrano struck out Edmonds in the sixth and did a little finger-wagging. In the eighth, Scott Rolen homered off Zambrano, who then drilled Edmonds and was ejected. Here's the game in question, July 19, 2004. The Cardinals won 5-4. Shockingly, Jay Mariotti gets it right today: Know what amuses me about ...

Know what amuses me about Cubdom? If Jim Edmonds rips a game-winning home run today, 40,000 fans will develop instant amnesia about why they hate him. They’ll jump, scream, dance, bow, shimmy, do the Soulja Boy thing, demand a curtain call, scream louder when he doffs his blue cap, sing “Go Cubs Go” and vanish merrily into a Wrigleyville afternoon while reminding their friends, “Dude, I told you Edmonds was a good pickup.” Jay Mariotti, everyone. Who never waffles on anything, ever. Ever. For ...
