NEW YORK (AP) -- Tony Womack might be the unhappiest person in the ballpark, and with legitimate reason. But when he's had the chance to send everyone else home happy, he has not let his discontent get in the way. "I know I can play," Womack said Sunday after his 11th-inning single lifted the Yankees to another wild, come-from-behind victory, 8-7 over the Angels at Yankee Stadium. "I don't try to prove anything to anybody but me." The trade deadline came and went, and the Yankees did nothing significant, so Womack, who signed as a free agent to be the starting second baseman, is probably frozen in his current role of sometime outfielder and pinch runner for the rest of the season. "Do I have a choice?" he said, dismissing reporters and leaving quickly.
