The Joke is on us


Today the Chicago Cubs in the stroke of brilliance aquired Tony Womack from the Colorado Rockies. All .220 hitting .250 OBP of Tony Womack. Yep the same Womack who isnt good enough to be on a contending Diamondbacks team and a .500 Colorado team.

In the Cubs quest to put us "over the top" they go dumpster diving for the second time this week. Thier must be a discount on Pirates and former Pirates that i dont know about. If this is putting us over the top this is just a sad and cruel way to try and do it.

Tony Womack brings nothing to our team we dont already have. Do we have a .220 batter? Check A-gonz, Miller, Bako, Olreay fill that role. Do we have Speed? Check got Goodwin, Glanville, Lofton to fill that role. Do we have a person who cant play 2nd or SS very good defensively? Ummm nope. DING DING DING we have a winner!

I guess Womack can show off his WS ring, and tell us all about how he is a "proven winner." None of which helps us very much.
