Cubs Held Hostage: Day 19





Hello Cubs fans,

I hope not to scare you with this statement, but Jim Edmonds is about to reach his 20th day as a Cubs. That's pretty rough, but at least we keep getting photos like the one on top of this post.

Last night the Cubs were blanked 3-0, thanks in part to Jim playing out of position and getting beat by Jeff Kent. If Pie is playing, Felix snags it to keep it 0-0 and the Cubs win, but instead Jim looks like a fool and waves at a ball that is two-feet to his right.

At the plate, Jim was 1-for-3 with a K, but the hit came with two-outs and nobody on base. All-in-all the Cubs keep their 3.5 game lead, because St. Louis and Milwaukee lost yesterday. Good news, Jim is getting the day off in favor of Reed Johnson.
