Ryan Dempster: We're So Proud
Babes Love Baseball —
... in the first, Dempster retired the next 15 batters he faced. Not to take anything away from Lilly and Dempster's lights out performances, but what does this say about the Pads? They whiffed 14 times total, one day after striking out 15 times against Ted Lilly and the Cubs’ pen. Blanked for the fourth time this season, these bums have the fewest number of runs at 140 and the crappiest batting average in the majors at .233.

Man: The Edmonds Thing Is Really Happening [Jim Edmonds] — 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.
By the way, do you love our awesome television? HD? What ...
At Least Edmonds Won't Be As Unpopular As Hundley — wrigleyville23
Short of OJ Simpson, I'm not sure Jim Hendry could have signed anyone less popular with Cubs fans than Jim Edmonds . But Edmonds is going to have to work very, very hard to be the least popular player to play for the Cubs. That title belongs solely and unmistakably to Todd Hundley. A quick recap: On my 30th birthday, Hundley signed a four-year, $23.5 million deal after putting together ...

It's Official: Jim Edmonds Is A Cub — Sharapova's Thigh
The baseball player I've maybe hated more than any other in my lifetime is going to be on my beloved Chicago Cubs, and in the lineup tomorrow against the team that just released him. Oh my. Unlike most of Cubdom though, I am not considering suicide over it.
The Cubs signed the 37-year-old(and turns 38 in June) Edmonds, the former All-Star of the St. Louis Cardinals(the Cubs' biggest rival), to
Chicago Cubs Sign Jim Edmonds — Knuckle Curve

This Makes No Sense — Foul Balls
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. Which is entirely understandable, as Edmonds is a former Cardinal and has been a Cub-killer in his career.
I think the move is idiotic as well, but not for any reason having to do with the Cardinals. No, I'm more opposed to it because Edmonds sucks.
La Russa Approves Of Signing Edmonds — wrigleyville23
Tony La Russa says Jim Edmonds should be welcomed in the big leagues - just not on his team , because the Cardinals have outfielders who aren't as bad at baseball as Edmonds. And you do have to question why the division rival is supportive of this: There is a report that the Chicago Cubs are looking at signing former Cardinals star Jim Edmonds, released last week by San Diego. "He's a capable ...
Things You Should Know About Jim Edmonds (Just in Case) — Hire Jim Essian
If the Cubs do end up signing Jim Edmonds today, as the rumors suggest will happen, there is one (and ONLY one) good thing that will come of the signing.

If you dipped a Muskat Mailbag in chocolate-flavored gold, shaped it like boobs, and served it off a $1,000 bill ...
Cubs Talking Themselves Into Jim Edmonds — wrigleyville23
Chris De Luca of the Sun-Times calls Jim Edmonds a "low-risk" veteran signing - and then spends the rest of his story demonstrating why that isn't true. 1. The lead: Worst-case scenario, the Cubs spend $289,000 this season on veteran center fielder Jim Edmonds. Which, come to think of it, also describes the best-case scenario. Um, no. The worst-case scenario is the Cubs have a center field ...

Oh, THERE you are
I'm afraid to say anything for fear of j-i-n-x-i-n-g the s-t-r-e-a-k.
Let's just say we're playing awfully well. Though we do have Marquis going tonight, so that could all come to a screeching hault. Also, there was this little bit of good news on FoxSports :

Jim Edmonds To The Cubs? Nooooooooooo! [Jim Edmonds] — Deadspin
Through it all, through all the hamboning and declining skills, we Cardinals fans have always loved Jim Edmonds. How do you not love a guy who has tattoos of both Darryl Kile and Josh Hancock? But man, if he signs with the Cubs, as has been heavily rumored, we might have a problem.
Jim Edmonds? Wearing a Cubs jersey? Perish the thought. But Cubs fans are even less thrilled about the ...
More Doings Around Cubs, Padres Moves? — wrigleyville23
The San Diego Union-Tribune weighs in on the other dominoes that may fall should the Cubs sign Jim Edmonds : However, if the Cubs sign Edmonds once he clears waivers Wednesday, they will have a surplus of outfielders -- two of whom the Padres have shown interest in before, Felix Pie and Matt Murton. And Padres General Manager Kevin Towers is in Chicago with the team. Interesting. Pie, from ...
EDMONDS A CUB? — Zoner Sports
John Starks became a Bull. Edgar Bennett became a Bear. Albert Belle became a White Sox. So why not Jim Edmonds, Chicago Cub?
He was once a top player and hated rival. Now he is merely a 37-year old looking for work. Is it worth it for the Cubs to sign him? Could Edmonds be Gary Gaetti revisited?
How sweet would it be for the Cubs to sign Edmonds and he puts together one last hurrah?

Morning Wood — Foul Balls
Chicago Cubs 12 San Diego Padres 3
Man, the Cubs better sign Jim Edmonds as soon as possible, because they really need that left-handed bat (currently hitting .178/.265/.233) in the lineup on Monday night. I mean, that offense is strugggggling.
Alfonso Soriano homered again, all of a sudden nobody's complaining about him, and the Cubs blew up for 11 runs in the fifth and sixth innings to
Rosenthal's Latest: Lidge, Daniel Cabrera, Bonds, Edmonds — MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com
Ken Rosenthal has a new column up . I put the Griffey info in a separate post ; let's discuss the rest.
Rosenthal suggests that Brad Lidge would be harder to replace than Pat Burrell , and for that reason the Phillies will make a bigger effort to re-sign him. I imagine Phillies fans would prefer that course of action. The problem? The Phillies have little chance of ...
Cripes!!! — wrigleyville23
I've been hearing some frightening news around the Interwebtubes that the Cubs are interested in " exploring the signing " of Jim Edmonds. I, as well as all of you, knew as soon as you heard that the Padres had released Edmonds that Jim Hendry would be all over his jock. True to form, Hendry has bought out the local Krispy Kreme in celebration of Jimmie clearing waivers on Wednesday. Maddog ...
