The Cubs finally lost on Wednesday, thanks in large part to Jim Edmonds of course.
On Wednesday, the only person older than Jim (Greg Maddux) made Edmonds look silly by going 0-for-3 to see his average drop back down to .203. People might say Jim made a great leaping catch to save a run in the 7th, but we at CJE are not fouled. Further examination shows that Edmonds was just hot-dogging it with a pointless leap.
Yesterday, the Cubs won 5-4. Mark DeRosa and Kosuke Fukudome both went yard, while Kerry Wood picked up another save. Jim had a box-score of 2-for-5 that saw his average creep up to .211. Closer look at the box score show that Jim left 3 runners on base and struck out once. He didn't score and made one diving catch that Felix Pie would've had with no problems. Still, we can't be too worried, because the Cubs have the best record in baseball.
More comments, analysis and cutting of Jim Edmonds later.
