Edmonds and a partner have announced they're going to open a bar/lounge/club (small size) and a banquet facility on 2nd floor. He said that it is on Locust but can't give exact location yet.



Anyone have any details.

I heard on the radio that he is taking on a business venture in STL but they didnt give any specifics.

From the audio clip:



- To be located somewhere on Locust

- 1st floor, Good food... Vegas-style lounge

- 2nd floor, nite-clubbish area, kinda small.. Also banquet facility on this level

- Targeted to open July 7th

I wonder if that could go in the Packard Lofts?

I'm going to applaude Jim Edmonds for working within the city and not going to Westport Plaza. Sign that man to a long term contract.

Doubt it as didn't Edmonds day that he purchased the building where his club would be?

He hasn't got much longer. Running into walls at full speed and diving for fly balls is beating his body up.

Especially with the team the Cubs have now -- He'll be hitting the wall more often.

The offense will be vastly improved but pitching is a big question mark. It'll be interesting to see how the Cubs and Cards do this year...

Why will the Cubs continue to suck? Two words:



Jason



Marquis

Who cares about club europe... let's talk more about the cubs





I would imagine they would have to start asap to meet that july 7 target date...

Jason may actually give them something they never had. Inconsistent pitching. In the past they "consistently" hurt their pitchers (Oh.... let them throw 120+ pitches in three str8 rotations) by their own mis-management.



For this thread. Jimmy is the man. My guess is more and more players will invest in the retail of BPV. I REALLY want to see what the final plans bring.

the gay jokes are hilarious.

Has any defending World Series champ ever gone to camp with a prospective starting rotation that won 22 games (as starters) the year before? We can't find one. But that's the mess the Cardinals find themselves in, minus Jeff Suppan, Jason Marquis, Jeff Weaver and an injured Mark Mulder. Last year, starters not named Chris Carpenter won 41 games for this team. Can the Cardinals find that many wins this year in a cast that includes Anthony Reyes (five wins), Kip Wells (two wins) and a group that made a combined one start last season (Adam Wainwright, Ryan Franklin, Brad Thompson and Braden Looper)? We know Mulder could be back in midseason. We know Tony La Russa and Dave Duncan always find a way. But with no real offensive upgrades, this is the shakiest any Cardinals team has looked in February in this millennium.

The Cards are going into unknown territory. NO DOUBT about it. However, Duncan has shown in the past he can tap into talent and utilize them. Will the Cards be successful? I don't know.



Now, with the same yardstick, the Cubs are known chokers, and Marquis is a known "variable" performer.



Not to mention that these same "analysts" completely wrote off the Cards last year.



Personally, I think the Cards "may" be in for a rough year. I would LOVE to be wrong about this though.

Just wait for Apr 27-29 I'll be there for one of the games...
