Maybe he'll crash into the ivy and we won't have to worry about it anymore...

Reed Johnson and Jim Edmonds in a deathmatch. Whoever survives is our CF.

I loathe Jim Edmonds with every fiber of my being. This move sucks the ass. It has no value and just sucks from a PR perspective as well. And how the holy fuck are they gonna keep El Toro Loco from killing this douchebag the first time he dives unnecessarily for a ball and misses it?

Edmonds is tested and ready to lead.

Jim Edmonds supports a gas tax holiday. And cock.

I quit.
this is more than I can take.
the past 20 years of cub fandom have been great.
but this move really highlights the owner's commitment to failure.

ah who am i kidding.
I'll just stare at the TV and hate.

WTF?? Hopefully it will be a one-year thing and then they'll drop his ass like it's hot. This really pisses me off - I can't get on board with this asshole.

Old, cut for being past his prime twice (before this week), and a Cardinal.

My father is cautiously optimistic, simply because "he always killed the Cubs"... but I really don't see any numbers on his statline that make me even remotely okay with this move.

Hell... I was down on the guy *BEFORE* I even compared him to Pie.

Cubs front office: "Hey, lets damage the esteem level of our fragile, young, and talented, but underachieving center fielder by bringing in a 38 year old, who doesn't field as well, or hit as well as even the underachieving of our young talent. That sure makes sense."

Cubs Yes Man: "BRILLIANT!"

..um..'member when Big Z got in the screaming match with Jimbo? So cool, maybe the results will be the same as with Barrett : )

I hope he goes head through a window shield or OD's on drugs like most of LaRussas players have in the last few years.

Wasn't Lofton on the 2003 team that almost went to the WS? WTF are they thinking with this piece of trash?

Anyone who doesn't think Jim Edmonds is good for the cubs is not really a cub fan. Edmonds will bring leadership to the club, which Pie can't do. So to coin one of your phrases. Fuck this website.
