Cubs Held Hostage: Day 5

Another typical Jim Edmonds night. He casually goes 1-for-5, the one being a single with no pressure. Of course, he grabs some headlines with a over-the-shoulder grab on the stupid hill in Houston. All I have to say is that Felix Pie would've been camped under it and made it routine.

Some how, the Cubs fight off the bad Edmonds karma and win 7-2. A key stat coming into the game: Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez were a combined 0-for-22 for the weekend, but they broke out of the Edmonds spell and busted out tonight.

Result: 1-5 (2-9 overall)
Result: W (7-2)
Cubs Record with Edmonds: 4-1
Standings: 28-17, First Place. 2.5 Games ahead of the Cardinals (Currently ahead of the Padres as of 11:17 p.m.)
