they are meatball posts. The word is meathead, not "meatball." And I agree with you guys that some of these posts are absolutely ridiculous. Hate Edmonds for being a 38 year old, washed up outfielder that is a bad player. Don't hate Edmonds just because he was on a rival team. I really don't care if he spent most of his career on the Cardinals. The reason I don't like the guy is because he can't hit major league pitching and the fact that he's a bad fielder as well. Oh, that's better. You tell people that they can't hate a player because he played on a team that is the rival of their favorite sports team. But you support hating him b/c he's bad at baseball. Fantastic. Nothing like calling others ridiculous and following it up with air tight logic such as this. I understand hating rival teams. I absolutely despise all things Cardinals and Yankees. So let's rewind to where we were a few months ago when A-Rod was supposedly testing the free agent waters. You're seriously saying that if you really hate the Yankees that you wouldn't want to sign A-Rod because he played for the Yankees? That's preposterous. I would use Pujols as an example, but I don't want to get into a Lee vs. Pujols debate on a freakin Jim Edmonds thread. It is ridiculous to hate a player just because he played for a rival team and is now on your team. I hated Jim Edmonds because he was a Cardinal, just like I hated all of the Cardinals players. But if we actually signed a good player from the Cardinals, I wouldn't give a damn if he played for that team as long as he contributes to my team winning. I highly doubt Jim Edmonds is going to contribute anything positive to this team, so that's why I hate the signing. Not because of the fact he was with a rival ballclub for several years.
