Wow, never thought I'd say this, but Jim Edmonds is a Cub!
How many times I've seen him make unbelievable plays in the outfield to steal hits and runs away from the Cubs, how many times I've seen him hit monsterous homeruns against the Cubs, and now he'll be wearing a Cubs uniform today.
Felix Pie will be sent to Iowa (actually to Austin as the Iowa Cubs are playing the Round Rock Express currently) which is probably for the best as it will give him time to straighten out his offensive woes and hopefully allow him to become the elite player he has it in himself to be. Hopefully the demotion doesn't do any psycological damage.
I know that some people are upset with this move, saying that Edmonds is washed up, but he's been hurt early this season, and San Diego is one of the worst hitters parks in the league, so I'm sure he'll turn it around.
Besides, he's mentioned that he wants to stick it to the Cardinals for dropping him after last year, and what better place to do that then with their main rivals.
I would love for him to do to the Cardinals a little of what he always used to do to us.
Lilly appears back on the right track after winning his fourth straight decision as Soriano and Soto powered the Cubs to a big win yesterday. They go for their second straight series win (and second straight series winning three games) this afternoon with Edmonds reportedly starting.
Should be fun. Go Cubs.
