I haven't seen him that mad since somebody stole his cheerios, twinkies, cupcakes, and his Pepsi.

And Jimmy Ballgame looks like he's just getting warmed up. I've been meaning to read up on some MJS articles about this series, so I check out the site. I love the picture and headline right next to it.

C'mon Jimmy

Edmonds has been incredible player in his career.

Great clutch player at bat and an excellent fielder.

I'm glad he has a World series ring on him, he deserves it.

Oh he was just awful in SD. When he came to the Cubs, the Cubs noticed that his stance was too short, so they asked him to widen his stance, like he used to for the Cardinals, and low and behold, here he is.

Edmonds with Cubs: .275/.367/.569

Edmonds with Padres: .178/.265/.233

He's a good compliment with Reed Johnson for the L/R platoon.

Going from PETCO Park to Wrigley Field probably has more to do with Edmonds' turnaround than a mechanical tweak.

He was also still recovering from an injury in SD, so that didn't help.

I totally hated the move, even knowing how low-risk it was. I. was. w-w-w-wu-wuhhhhhhhhhhhh. I was.... wrrrrrronnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggggggg.

That may have something to do it, since Petco is a very very pitcher friendly park, but even that, Edmounds openly admitted that not only that he was standing straight up in his stance, but the medications that he was taking for his concussion that he suffered was also to blame as well.

The Cubs center fielder suffered a slight concussion on June 21, 2006, when he crashed into the outfield wall at U.S. Cellular Field during an Interleague game between the Cardinals and White Sox. Edmonds was trying to snare a home run by Joe Crede. He hit the ground hard, and clutched the back of his head. Doctors prescribed medication.

"It was supposed to help me concentrate because when I was playing, I would get dizzy and it was hard to play a whole game," he said. "Even going into the following season in '07, I still had trouble."

He took the medication last year, and was still taking it at the beginning of this season when he played for the San Diego Padres. After he was released on May 9, and joined the Cubs, he talked to athletic trainer Mark O'Neal, whom Edmonds knew from their days when both were in St. Louis.

"What [the medication] does is, it makes you concentrate but it plays tricks with your eyes," Edmonds said. "When I was looking through the fence, I was having trouble watching the game, and it affected my vision so much it was twisting me around."

O'Neal and Edmonds talked, Edmonds did some homework, and decided to stop taking it.

"I feel pretty good now," Edmonds said. "We'll see how it goes."

He was feeling so good in June that he led all Cubs regulars with a .319 average. That's quite a comeback after beginning the season at .178 in 26 games with the Padres. Edmonds blames his slow start on a Spring Training injury coupled with changes he made in his swing in an attempt to make the most of PETCO Park in San Diego.

"I stood up a little taller and I was trying to swing down on the ball and it wasn't my swing," he said. "It had me in a funk. All those little things I was doing was adding to me having a tough time."

The Padres athletic trainer also tried to get Edmonds to stop taking the medication.

"It's funny because a lot of guys take it," Edmonds said. "They said they were having a little problem with it, too. You never know -- you're trying to do the right thing, and it was time to do something else."

Second-biggest division lead in baseball in the second-toughest division in baseball. Awesome.

Neat thing is, the Cubs are actually slightly under-performing, according to their Pythagorean record. Is that a massive run differential in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?
