I've never liked Tony Womack. He might be a great guy for all I know but articles like this annoy the heck out of me.

"I went through it because they put me through it," he told MLB.com at Reds training camp in Sarasota, Fla. "It wasn't like I did it to myself. I still like to play. It's no fun knowing that you can still play and contribute to somebody when this team is holding you back. The Yankees held me back."

"The only thing that makes me mad is it messes up my baseball card," Womack said. "I was consistent for a long time and then that comes up. It was a learning experience for me. I'm a stronger person. I had to be. I had to bite my tongue a lot. I had to keep myself going and make sure I got my work in."

Are you serious? Does he really want people to look at the stats on his baseball card? The only consistency he has had in his career is that he has been consistently bad. The best he has EVER done in regular playing time has been to be 7% worse than the average and for his career, he has been 27% worse than the average. And that horrible last year that's he's talking about, it wasn't even the worst year of his career - that was 2003 when he hit .226/.251/.307. He actually made $6 million dollars that year for those "accomplishments"! He might be a great guy, good teammate or great in the clubhouse but you can't deny that he is a detriment to the winning percentage to any team that he's on. Well, I guess you can if you're Tony Womack. That self-delusion and constantly blaming someone else for your failures annoys the heck out of me. Good luck to you in getting your baseball card cleaned up, Tony. Good luck & good riddance.
