5/13 Fathers (Estes) @ Cubs (Marquis) 7:05 CSNC

So do a majority of people hate Jim Edmonds because he sucks or because he is Jim Edmonds? If he played like Edmonds of old (he won't) would people like him as a Cub?

No, I hate him because we don't need to pick up any guys who were good five years ago. Especially at the expense of our top prospect.

I agree, I'm not that big of a fan of it either, I just can't tell how much personal bias is involved in not wanting to sign him

Gerut K's. 1 down.

if he magically becomes the All-Star Edmonds again, I'd love the guy.

 

/gay joke

Iguchi lines to left. 2 down.

[SouthSideRyan]

Two on and one out for the slugger named Reed Johnson.

 

He never drives the ball, he has no power :roll:

 

Reed Johnson heading into today was 159th out of 177 when it came to SLG% (125 PA min.) He's fine as a CF against lefties. That' it.

Marquis showing Zambrano how to pitch to Jody Gerut!

[Schwarber Fan]

Marquis is getting pelted, he's getting really lucky.

If Edmonds becomes a quality addition, I won't forgive his Cardinal sins (ha ha), but I'll accept him as a good player.

[17 Seconds]

The disparity between the BABIP and LD% against Marquis for this game has to be off the charts right now.

[haubrich91]

Hey, maybe he isn't that bad after all.

[Little Slide Rooter]

According to weather.com, Wrigleyville is scheduled for scattered T-Stroms until 11 and solid T-Storms until morning, We better hurry up and get through 5 nice and quick.

His pitches are starting to get down in the zone though, that might be good :-k

I can't tell if you're serious. I'm not really paying attention to the game right now.

[TruffleShuffle]

seriously, how badly does shawn estes have to suck before everyone in mlb says "yeah you know what, this guy is terrible, let's not give him a job"

I'll still hate him, because I'm stubborn.

He's being serious. The Pads are lacing every ball right at the defenders.

the fact is, if Edmonds comes to town and does well, he will not be booed, and any Cubs fan who does boo him if he does well simply because he is Jim Edmonds is a moron.

If Marquis ever wants another CG Shutout, his best chance is if this game ends after 5.

[erik316wttn]

Riot singles to CF.

[CubsGM]

Grit!

[haubrich91]

What food has Theriot been eating lately?!

[Roast]

God Theriot is hot.

 

Que Truffle with a self-laudatory comment.

Well, that's unfortunate. No, wait, it's actually really fortunate. As long as they keep hitting Estes, no matter. Marquis sucks, but Estes REALLY REALLY sucks.
