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. Because of the Edmonds rumors, RV directed me to this gold mine , a St. Louis Magazine article about Edmonds’ restaurant. If you dipped a Muskat Mailbag in chocolate-flavored gold, shaped it like boobs, and served it off a $1,000 bill ...

... when he dogs it into CF for the first time today. After all, he is now a part of the team and I'll never root against any Cub. That doesn't mean that I still don't hate him. Who really knows how this will turn out? Maybe he'll hit .200 and get cut in a month. He may hit .260 and stick around. If the Cubs win, I can live with it. However, this a more uncomfortable situation than a dinner party at Michael Scott and Jan Levinson's place. Woof. P.S., if you haven't read this, do yourself a favor and check it out. It's all you need to know about Jim ...

No One in the Cubs Has Seen Jim Edmonds Play Lately — FanHouse
That's really the only excuse for the debacle that is Jim Edmonds -in-pinstripes.

Jim Hendry and Lou Piniella basically admit as much . Emphasis regrettably mine: [Hendry]: "The people we had watch ...
Cubs sign OF Jim Edmonds; option OF Pie to AAA — The Transaction Guy
The Chicago Cubs signed veteran outfielder Jim Edmonds on Wednesday . Edmonds, an 8-time Gold Glove winner and a 4-time all star, was recently released by the San Diego Padres.

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

"He's a capable ...
Fuck Jim Edmonds — Thunder Matt's Saloon
Pardon my language, but there's no other way to put it. Fuck Jim Edmonds. I don't like his jerkoff name. I don't like his jerkoff face. I don't like his jerkoff declining skills.

Should we bring in Mark McGwire and Matt Morris while ...
Cubs to Sign Jim Edmonds — Bucs Dugout
The Cubs are set to sign Jim Edmonds and send young centerfielder Felix Pie to the minors.
As a Pirates fan, I heartily approve. Edmonds has now been dumped by two NL teams, including the team with the worst record in baseball. I've seen Edmonds several times this year and he looks like he's toast. Maybe I like Pie more than I should, but I don't think you have to like him much to think ...
Cubs Ready to Sign Jim Edmonds — The Cub Reporter (TCR) | A Chicago Cubs Blog
The recently released Jim Edmonds should clear waivers on Wednesday and it looks like the Cubs are going to bite . The move would likely send Felix Pie to the minors and give Edmonds the majority of playing time in a center field platoon with Reed Johnson.
So it's understandable that the Cubs want to upgrade center field right now. It seems to be the only weak spot in the lineup and ...
