The Tony Womack Era...
...resumes. According to the Sun-Times Womack could be on the field this weekend. Of course Dustbag thinks it's a great idea.
"I'm hearing good reports on him,'' manager Dusty Baker said Wednesday. "I'm hearing he is playing pretty good. We'll address that when I get home. It's not a bad option.''The Cubs are off today, and Baker and general manager Jim Hendry could have Womack in the house by Friday. The 12-year major-league veteran was in Class AAA Iowa's lineup Wednesday night in Sacramento, Calif., which is familiar turf to Baker.
"I talked to people out in Sacramento [on Tuesday], and they told me Womack was playing good,'' Baker said. "They said he wants to play good enough to force me to call him up. That's fine with me.''
Just what we need 8 2b on the roster. To think people claimed this wouldn't happen.

He's going to hit that well?
And it makes no sense of any kind whatsoever for him to be on this team. Its hard to construct any team where he makes sense, but the Cubs are about as extreme a bad fit as there is.

And this is how
Seriously, Womack played some outfield for the Yankees last year. How long until he starts taking at-bats away from Murton? My guess, not long.
Stupid stupid stupid.

Mike Fontenot
130 AB; 3 HR 8 RBI; 315/378/454 (831 OPS) 13BB/26K
My guess is that if Fontenot were called up (and if Dusty actually played him), he would be our best offensive option at 2B.
I really can't take very much more of this frustration.
