I guess you are just rooting for a uniform Jazzman.  I will celebrate a ws just like anyone else but I will resent the fact the Edmods is a part of it.

And?.....   Are you saying you cannot enjoy a Cubs championship just because they signed a player you disliked?

No I will enjoy it just fine.  Do you really think he makes us better?  He is worse than Pie in every aspect.

IMO, that is shamefully petty.  I do not have the luxury or the authority as a fan to define who is a real Cubs.  Once they sign and put on that uniform, my only requirement is that they play hard and help the team win.  I hated the Bad Boy Pistons.  But when Rodman was traded for and he brought his circus to the Bulls, I appreciated every rebound, blocked shot, and loose ball he recovered on the way to three more titles.  I do not have to sleep, eat, or interact with Edmonds.  I just want him to help this team win ballgames.  I doubt his ability to do so, but it is not my call and it in no way effects the way I view my baseball team.  If you want to call that rooting for a uniform, so be it.  I just know that my celebration will be unhindered by any resentments.  I have been a Cubs fan too long for any one player to effect me that strongly.

I like the Cubs and not Cardinals.  But why?  It is merely geographical I guess.  At a certain point you say, hey I like our team because (fill in your reason) and I dislike them because (fill in your reason).  What is really the difference between someone who is a Cubs fan this year and someone who was a Cubs fan last year and is now a bandwagon fan for a winning team elsewhere.  I dislike Edmonds for several reasons and I hate that we are going to sign him.  And for the person who wrote earlier, I would hate it if we signer Pujols.

Please don't try to turn my words against me.  I love the Cubs.  My question to you is if the Cubs and Cardinals traded 25 man rosters which team would you root for?  With that said I don't know what I would say.   My point is is that in the course of rooting the Cubs I have learned to hate certain players.  Jim Edmonds being one of them.

No word turning here,  Those were your statements word for word.

Hypotheticals that are not going to happen are hopelessly irrelevant.  Rosters won't be exchanged, so why ask the question?

I actually respect the Cardinals.  They have run a good organization.  I want the Cubs to beat the hell out of them.  But, I don't have to hate them to feel that way.  Check out the quotes from DeRosa and even Reed Johnson who will lose dome PT to Edmonds.  They're Cubs. They just want to win.  They welcome the addition of Edmonds.  Me?  I'd rather the Cubs did not sign him, but they are.  That is really all there is.  You can enjoy or not enjoy, resent or not resent.  I'm going to try to enjoy this Cubs season and hope that they reach the ultimate goal - with or without Jim Edmonds.

What do you expect them to say? That they don't want him?  Of course not.  I am going to enjoy the season as well.  I just hate this signing.  Enjoy your high horse.

Cubs2008, you asked if there are players that we hate.  The answer to that for me personally is yes, but I got to say I really don't hate anyone on the cards.  The kind of players that I hate are people like Bonds or Clemens for example, people that bring shame to the game.  Hell, people like Edmonds are the ones that make a rivalry great!...how can I not but appreciate that? 

Also, I think you are loony if you wouldn't be excited if we had pujols.  Of course we don't need him because we have Lee.  Anyways as stated before, how are you going to hate a per
