A few people might notice that when we the Cubs were first talking about Jim Edmonds the Cubs were 23-16. Not a bad record, but now that the Cubs are 38-21.
So, my question to you: Who do we give credit to for this recent success?
A. Jim Hendry - as much as I like Jim for the Aramis Ramirez theft from the Pittsburgh Pirates, there are times like signing Jason Marquis, not to mention Jim Emonds. We here a CJE (Cut Jim Edmonds) can't give credit Jim for all the success. A little yes, but lets move on.
B. Lou Pinella - Lou has been great for the Cubs. Take last night's verbal lashing of Marquis. Still, Lou has his faults. What faults might that be? Well, he keeps writing in Jim Edmonds in the lineup and we just can't give Lou our total support at this time.
C. Kosuke Fukudome - Now here is a player that we can get behind. The Cubs have become a new team with the man from Japan in right field. He is supporting a .843 OPS and a .408 OBP. While Fukudome has been a big part of the success, he isn't the main reason.
D. Jim Edmonds- come on did you really think he was the reason for our success.
E. Cut Jim Edmonds.com - Was there any doubt? The Cubs were 23-16 the day Loather and I took CJE.com live and to the fans. Since our first day, a day before JE actually took the field, the Cubs are 15-5 folks. They own the best record in baseball and have built a 3.5 game lead over the Cardinals.
Stay tuned for updates as the Loather and I will be watching the game tonight.
