Like Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens, and Johnny Damon before him, Jim Edmonds has joined the Dark Side; suiting up for the arch rivals of the team he spent most of his career with (though admittedly, the circumstances are a bit different). Over at his blog, Jason Boyett has some thoughts from a Cubs fan’s perspective.
His name was Jim Edmonds. He was arrogant. He had dark hair with dorky looking frosted tips. He pouted after EVERY. SINGLE. CALLED. STRIKE. He stood too long to admire his home runs. He made amazing catches as a centerfielder, but most of baseball has always suspected he turned routine plays into diving catches by timing his approach…just so he’d look awesome doing it. Jim Edmonds was a flopper. A surly, full-of-himself, whiny, goofy-looking flopper. All Cubs fans hated him, more than any other Cardinal ever. Ever!
(kinda of reminds me of how I felt in December 05 when Johnny Damon signed with the Yankees, only in reverse. Of course, looking back at that now, I couldn’t be happier that Captain Caveman and his girlie arm bolted for the Big Apple.)
