Johnny Do-No-Good

Johnny Damon has never been the most adept Yankee at handling the press.  Tuesday afternoon he was the sole player who spoke after the Alex Rodriguez news conference.  He shared these pearls of wisdom.

"He did some bad things, he took a steroid, [I] definitely do not condone that at all.  But there could be a lot worse things he could've been doing out there."

When asked by ESPN's Hannah Storm for a further explanation Damon said:

"Um, murdering someone."

Don't expect a gift basket from A-Rod anytime soon Johnny.
