A guest post from the RFT's mysterious Unreal:
A recent post on Deadspin addresses rumors that Jim Edmonds might sign with the Chicago Cubs.
Not surprisingly, Deadspin founder Will Leitch blanches at the mere thought -- though fortunately, as he points out, Cubs fans do, too.
Anyhoo, commenting on Leitch's kicker -- "By the way, this move is probably not good business for Edmonds' new restaurant/nightclub in St. Louis" -- one Deadspin reader writes:
...Edmonds' new restaurant/nightclub in St. Louis.I've been there. It's a dive.

If that's a result of Deadspin "Comment Ombudsman" Rob Iracane's call for commenters to "Don't be cruel without also being funny," then Unreal's all for it.

Thanks. It is impossible for me not to smile when I see that photo.
I don't know what I'd do with Jedmonds in a Cub uniform. After I weep, that is.
