This is a sad, sad day in Cubs history.

 

Its like they sold their soul.

 

I've often pontificated that the fates would require the death of Wrigley before they would grant a Cubs WS win.

 

This is so much worse that it almost guarantees that this is the year.

 

So the question is....is it worth it?...what would you give for a WS win?

yes, it would be worth signing edmonds if the cubs manage to win the world series....dumb question.

I'd make a deal with the devil to see the Cubs win a WS in my lifetime.

Signing any player is worth it so long as they contribute and help the team. I don't give a flying crap who Edmonds is...I care whether or not he can still produce, and he probably can't. I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

 

"The soul" of the team means nothing.

I don't care where he came from or what he has said in the past as long as he helps the team win.

i have this bad feeling that Fukudome will still be hitting 5th. I would be completely unsurprised to see:

 

Soriano

Theriot

Lee

Ramirez

Fukudome

Edmonds

Soto

DeRosa

Dempster

Not a chance Lou doesn't split up the lefties. Whether it be moving Fukudome second, putting him between Lee and Ramirez, or moving Edmonds down, I'm 99.9% confident Lou will split them up in some way.

My prediction

 

Soriano, LF

Fukudome, RF

Ramirez, 3B

Edmonds, CF

DeRosa, 1B

Blanco, C

Theriot, SS

Cedeno, 2B (yes that's right, Ronny Cedeno)

Dempster, P

So, let me get this straight; today I have to root FOR Jim Edmonds and AGAINST Greg Maddux?!?!?

 

That doesn't seem right. . .

 

Feels dirty, huh?

So bad I need a Silkwood shower.

I have a bad feeling about this game. Had a good one about yesterday, but kept it to myself. Hopefully, airing my bad vibes with this one will help reverse the result.

 

Maddux is going to be tough. But Dempster should have a good go of it vs. the Padres RHs. I do worry about Giles, Gonzalez, and Freaking Gerut though. Gotta take what Maddux gives you. He's not that good anymore, and the Cubs should treat him like such, but I'm having flashbacks of Glavine and his 300th win last year.

According to both WSCR and ESPN1000, Edmonds is hitting 6th in the lineup today, and Fukudome is still 5th.

 

I'm guessing/hoping they're giving Soto a day off and that's why it is what it is.

He's dying for a LH bat to break up the righties and force the opposing manager to make bullpen decisions, yet he puts the two LH bat back to back?
