News & Notes

- Johnny Damon on the Yankees fans: “I hope they cheer.”

... If anyone in that stadium has a clue, he will get a standing ovation. The guy was a very good Yankee.

- Nick Johnson has suffered a setback:
He’s been taking batting practice, trying to come back from the wrist surgery. But the wrist is sore again.
I never expected him to comeback anyway. The guy is made of glass.

- The Yankees have lost three of four to the Tigers this year.
