How Many Shitty Ex-Cubs Does It Take To Screw In a Light Bulb?

... team in the league? How about a two-out single by Estes, and then he moves to second on a wild pitch by Jason Marquis. And then we'll top it off with an RBI double by Gerut, who already has more hits in the past two days than he did in the course of his Cubs career. Seriously, no hyperbole there. Furthermore, what the hell is going to happen next? Paul Bako and Jerry Hairston Jr. hitting home runs on the Cubs in the same inning? Long-time archnemesis Jim Edmonds signing a contract with them? Oh wait. Shit. With all that just about said and done, now we're ...

Edmonds then homered onto Sheffield Avenue his second time up. Making matters worse for Zambrano, Edmonds stood and watched the flight ...

This Makes No Sense

[image] So all signs are indicating that the Cubs are about to sign Jim Edmonds , and for the most part, it's not a very popular move amongst Cubs fans.
