Time To Go

Remember Todd Jones? He spent part of a season here a few years back, blew virtually every game he entered and was booed accordingly (including while warming up, apparently). When he departed town for Detroit, Jones blasted Phillies' fans as the worst in all of baseball, guilty of heinous crimes of the tongue.

Well, according to ESPN Jones is about to announce his retirement and judging from what he wrote the other day, it appears his problems in Philadelphia may have been due, let us say, to a rather thin skin and fragile ego:

"So this is it," Jones wrote ..... "If you're a Tigers fan, I'll never stress you out again. If you're not a Tigers fan, you'll never have me as your ace in the hole, convinced I'll blow a lead against your team."

No doubt about it, Todd. Time to go.
