Talkin' Baseball 03/16/2005

Tony Womack is my new favorite pinstripper. In the Yankee loss today, Womack shined going 3-3 with a triple against the Pittsburg Pirates. Today's performance is just another day at work for my pick for second baseman. In the past two days, Womack has been putting up big numbers for a second baseman, going five for six with two triples, three runs, three RBIs and a stolen base. It is only middle March and he is looking like he has clenched the starting position.

It's not a surpise that Womack is in the lead for the starting spot. During spring training, he has gone thirteen for twenty-six. In the one more game than Sanchez, the former Met, he has eight more hits. Not only that, he has three more hits in less at bats than Rodriguez, who is a Grade A Douche Bag. I can't give you numbers but I just don't like him. He was a rotten addition to the Rangers, and after attempting to slap the ball from Bronson Arroyo in the ALCS, I lost all respect for him.

Being my first article, and that it is still Spring Training, I will end with a format for this column, and a story that touched my heart from Tuesday. First, I will be making a serious effort to provide commentary on the New York Yankees everyday, and using the line provided by the New York Post, I will tell you who I like for the day.
Finally, on Tuesday, the Yankees met with two youngsters from the Make a Wish Foundation. I think this is what baseball is truly all about. Unfortunately, these two kids' candle will be snuffed before their time, but baseball has given them a reason to live and through the Make a Wish Foundation, they are able to meet their heros whatever team they may be on.
