I don't know about you, but these are the great sayings of our beloved St. Louis Cardinals centerfielder and commentator. Does not represent real Jim Edmonds.
🚨🚨🚨 TEXT ALERT 🚨🚨🚨
Jim: "I think I was texting you actually. And you didn't answer, as usual, but it was still worth the text."
Dan: "Jimmy, I get a lot of texts from you. I was probably catching up."

God dammit I love you Sonny Gray. Beautiful, slowly balding, moderately redneck, born in the 80s, looks-like-he-can-polish-a-twelver-of-busch-lights-on-a-Monday man. I will follow you for life.
"You know I woke up the other day, on my birthday, and everyone in my house had a Cardinals Edmonds shirt on. Even my wife and our nanny."

Dan: "Did you have the capital to [buy a basketball team]?"
Brad: "I could get investors. Potentially you, maybe?"
Dan: "I don't have that capital either."
Brad: "I'll see what Ballgame's up to."

Brad tonight. Well that's it I guess! Jim's season ended as of the Cards' last game against the Reds on September 18. Thanks for all the fun this year friends!
"You know what I was thinking of the other day was how many [hall of famers] I played against. And played well against, which, I kind of like, for my own sake."

Nevertheless, it is one of the most tragic robberies of home team commentary in baseball history. It's an awful consequence of corporate television piracy over legacy moments. So happy for Albert, but I would be lying if I said I didn't feel a twinge of pain.

"Gettin' some texts saying, alright why doncha talk about all the bad City Connect jerseys? I don't think that's good TV, Mr. Flaherty."

Jim: "Let me ask you a question. We had to change names of teams, right? In the NFL and The Major League Baseball with the Cleveland team. So how is it that Spokane is still the Indians?"
Chip: "I dunno."
Jim: "But I like it."
Jim: "That's almost like one of those old school Nintendo curveballs. That's the one when you let the pitch button go, and then you wait, and then you move it and it's halfway there. It's unfair."
Dan: "That's the one."
The bases are larger, the baseballs are less sticky, the pitchers are on a timer, the shift is banned, and umpires have smaller strike zones.
And the Cardinals are scoring fewer runs than ever before.
Just got a text saying that Jimmy will not be doing color for the series against the Mets. I know how sad this makes all of you - we are here for you

Jim: "I see you looking at me."
Dan: "Just an indication to let you know when to talk, Jimmy. And whenever you want to speak, you go right ahead."

I don't want to let these guys go. Dan has become an indisputable Cardinal legend. Brad has had a career year (he might put this account out of business). And Jimmy - never a dull moment. Tell you what.
My mother-in-law just told me I remind her of Jim Edmonds. Just so you know, she does not know about this Twitter account. Excuse me while I spend 3 lonely hours looking into a mirror.
Chip: Think Jim Hayes would get on the jet skis with us?
Brad: Of course he would.
Chip: I mean, would he get his own jet ski.
Brad: No, I think he would absolutely get on the jet skis with us. Talkin' bear hug, zinc oxide for everybody.
Cat: No, I'm getting my own.
I'm not Jim Edmonds. I'm a purveyor of Jim Edmonds utterances. How insane would it be for Jim Edmonds to have a Twitter account exclusively devoted to tweeting all of his zaniest on-air quotations?
Just in case y'all missed Jim's story about telling a barista to put Goldschmidt's coffee order ahead of his own, well you're in luck. Because Jim literally told the story a second time word-for-word.
"It's almost like the letters on the name on the back of the jersey are like... You know how there's a button for 'all caps' on the computer? These letter are, like, small caps. Whaddya call that? Lower caps?"
