Hi guys and gals...Im a Cards fan...reading your board for a long time and finally registered, Edmunds driven. Hey Im not an ass...if we dont win the thing I, and a hell of alot Card fans root for the Cubs. Hope to find some good insight here for my habit with books and Im not talking at the library. Here's what theyre reporting in STL http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/stories.nsf/cardinals/story/06E9D2A55FF346AF8625744900514047?OpenDocument Whats funny, is the diehard Cub fan and Card fan doesnt want this to happen....what a great rivalry...you all (in general) gave this guy so much [expletive] about makeup and what not, and now he's there....its crazy...Seriously, JE is a class act, yeah everyone thinks he hotdogs it but we are all jealous because we cant do the same. IT will be very interesting to see if he can put it together there. Has a low 200 avg in house, but some clutch hits as you know. Thinking the tigher field plays to his age/current ability, so at this point I wouldnt sell him short helping ya defensively. Hell cheer the dramatic plays. This will be hard for both fan bases, but we both traded Lee Smith and Bruce back and forth and survived. Have fun all.
