Cubs Newest Player








Go cubbies!! The Chicago Cubs are on fire this season. They are playing so well and meeting their expectations. They are working and playing as a team and communicating very well with each other. Unlike last season they are actually in first place in their division. They hold a record of 26 wins and 16 losses. This is incredible for them, if they keep up the good work they will make the playoffs. With all their great players on their team including Derek Lee, Aramis Ramirez, Ronny Cedeno, and Alfonso Soriano they could make it all the way. Their pictures are extraordinary this season. They have Carlos Zambrano, Ryan Dempster, Kerry Wood, and of Jason Marquis.




Along with this roster they have added a new player to their roster. Their newest player to their roster is none other than Jim Edmonds. He made his Wrigley Field debut with the cubs on Thursday May 15 against his old team the Padres. The fans from Wrigley cheered him on as he signed autographs for the fans and the little ones. He was 1 for 4 in the game against the padres and he did hear some boos from the fans when he struck out in the 7th inning with the bases loaded. He was signed by the cubs last Friday after he was released by the padres. Now he’ll be wearing the cubs uniform in white and blue.






I believe that having Jim Edmonds on their team will be a great benefit for their team this season and for the following seasons after. They have the golden glove winner as their outfielder and as a great batter who can surely hit the ball out of the park. His batting average will definitely go up depending on his batting average. He’ll probably start off a little bit poorly but once he gets used to playing with his team members he will get into his rhythm and will start hitting home runs. Now we’ll just have to wait and see how he plays in their upcoming games and see how he does. Go Cubbies!!!
