Good analogy with Ike, but as a Cards fan first, this makes me sick. I thought I felt bad when John Mabry signed with Chicago but this is sad. It's sad in the sense that the guy's option should have been simple — sign a one-day contract with the Cardinals and hang it up. I'll be at Busch for the 4th of July weekend series against the Cubbies and I can't imagine what the reaction will be. This isn't exactly a Fredo-type back-stabbing, but it's not to go without some brow-beating.
I won't get excited that Jim Hendry is showing his same old commitment to reversing excellence, but it will at least be interesting to see Edmonds sharing a clubhouse with Zambrano, a man who once openly threatened to kill him.
