Day one of the Jim Edmonds' era started today at Wrigley Field. In an odd move, Lou batted Edmonds 6th behind Kosuke Fukudome, which I don't think is the point of signing the aging blunder.
It didn't matter as the Cubs won 4-0 thanks to a break out inning, but we're not here to talk about the Cubs. We're here to talk about Edmonds, the Cardinal spy that was sent here to ruin our run at a World Series title.
Edmonds actually got a pretty good welcome, with many fans standing up to cheer. In the second inning, Edmonds picked up his lone hit after dumping a Maddox pitch into left. That was the good, because over the next three at bats.
In the fourth inning, Edmonds bounced into a inning-ending double play.
In the fifth inning, Fukudome was walked to get to Edmonds, who promptly flew out to center. He biggest chance came with the bases loaded in the seventh in which he faced a lefty. Things didn't go well for him as he was totally fooled on two pitches and struck out.
Result: 1-4. 7 LOB. (.250 Avg.)
Cubs Result: W (4-0)
Cubs Record with Edmonds: 1-0
Standings: 25-16, First Place. 1.5 Games ahead of the Astros.
