Jim Edmonds on La Russa: Tony Who?

Jim Edmonds, you sly devil. We know you at least consider your past, all those fond memories of being a St. Louis Cardinal, of winning a World Series, of hitting 30+ home runs every year. They were your glory days, man! That's as good as life gets! You're not fooling anyone.

Deny them all you want, Jim. But we remember. If Nico Bellic couldn't escape his past, what makes you think you can?
With the Cardinals coming to Wrigley Field, it means a second reunion of St. Louis manager Tony La Russa and center fielder Jim Edmonds. "Tony who?" Edmonds said when asked if he had any thoughts about his former manager.

Any thoughts about playing your ex-teammates? "No, I don't," he replied.
That is harsh. Being a Cubs fan, I feel a need to support Jim Edmonds in his quest to tweak the Antichrist Tony La Russa, but it's sort of hard to pick someone to root for in this fight. Like, if Russia and China were to go to war, sure, it would be entertaining, but you don't really want either of them to have the satisfaction of winning. Or something like that.

Anyway, whatever the reason, Edmonds has proved himself still a valuable player this year, one the Cardinals could surely use in center. If the fued with La Russa is motivating him, so be it. Just keep hitting, Jim.
