Read what Lou says this is the over riding factor, that Lou (and the ball club) is confident that Pie is ready to contribute every day at a MLB level.

Now inherent with this expectation is the need that Edmunds will be ready and able to contribute every day.

Try to catch lightning in a bottle at VERY low cost AND give Pie a chance to work through his issues in AAA.

...proper not form sentence wrote you did-ha ha having ass that is dumb!

That made more sense than the post.

that was funny. Satan. Nice. Maybe I’m laughing to prevent myself from crying.

signing once-awesome veterans when they are no longer good AT ALL and NOBODY wants them b/c they have the same name as when they were good

He won’t likely play the corner OF positions. So the lefty will bat against the righties and Johnson against the southpaws.

How long he’ll be here is TBD. He may flame out in a couple weeks, he may be here the remainder of the season…The intangeable here is Pie. I’m praying someone can knock some sense into him and get him to shorten his stroke. He has WAY too much time spent going into the zone and coming out of it and not enough time in the zone. If there’s truly a way to have the “Fukudome effect” we’ve all talked about here to rub off on someone, Felix is the one I’d most want to see that happen.

And Dusty? I couldn’t care less. He and his teams’ presence in the division will be relatively meaningless and even more so if Jr. is dealt back to Seattle.

I think ualriv (pronounced Todd) should start a new blog.

alternative plan available and that’s Reed Johnson. With Kendall last year, there were no real alternatives. Barrett was gone, Hank White I think was still DL’d, we didn’t know we had the stud-in-waiting, Geo yet and Bowen was gone so it was up to Kendall. I’m missing one guy right now but can’t think of who it is. The Cubs had six different catchers at one point or another in 2007.

I just can’t stomach this. I have a cubs flag that I fly over my porch. It goes up and down depending upon my laziness, the weather, and its usefulness to sustain a win streak or stop a losing streak.

However, I’ve only intentionally left it down once before, to protest Dusty Baker’s incessant playing of Neifi Perez. I’m not flying it today, partially in protest and partially to deprive that Cardinals-loving neighbor of mine from having an evil giggle when she drives by. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still follow the cubs, but I doubt I’ll have any joy when he plays, and I don’t know that the flag will be flying.

Hope you prove me wrong, Edmonds.
