Please No!

Just one simple sentence of dread in the opening of Ken Rosenthals latest article...

The Cubs are getting closer on a deal with free-agent second baseman Tony Womack, a move that would deprive the Cardinals of not only their second baseman, but also their leadoff hitter.

I am sure the Cardinals will be all broken up inside in not getting Tony Womack back. If the Cubs are getting closer on a deal with Womack then we could hear this deal annouced as early as tomorrow. And when that is announced Cubs fans can kiss the 2005 season off, and begin the ball rolling for Dusty Baker, Jim Hendry, and Andy McPhail to all be fired. Because if that goes down instead if signing Walker they don't deserve to have a job anymore.

Atleast the Cardinals are smart. They got more than they ever expected out of Womack and are happy as hell to not tempt fate and bring him back. I really wish the Cubs would learn that lesson. But it appears heading into the 2005 season, the Cubs have learned nothing from the past.

But hey just when you thought things can't get any worse...

Four teams remain interested in acquiring Rockies catcher Charles Johnson — the A's, Devil Rays, Cubs and Brewers. The Rockies would pick up most of Johnson's $9 million salary for next season, but only if they received a quality young player in return. ...

Ohh Yeah, Charles Johnson! Now there is a winner! He has only hit .230 while playing with Colorado. I can't imagine why the Cubs would even be interested in garbage like that.
