They probably have developed my philosophy regarding Jim Edmonds. I will accept any contributions he makes, and I will hope for him to do well for the sake of the Cubs, but I just can't like the guy. Maybe that will change in time as well, because my previous stance was to boo him at all costs and despise any contribution he makes. It actually irritates me to completely change my stance on someone based on their performance. I hate knowing that the only reason I like my favorite players is because they play baseball exceptionally well. I guess, being that I don't know any of them personally, thats how it goes, but I still want to pretend that its not the case, and want to keep telling myself I hate Edmonds because he's kind of a jerk.
