Dammit. Another cheater.

I just get finished railing on Red Sox Nation -- which deserves to get railed on for its sanctimonious upbraiding of the Yankees as a team of "juicers" -- and then the Yankees go out and acquire another player who was fingered in the Mitchell Report.

I know we all need to move on from this steroid crap, but how are we going to do that? One way might be for a team to say, publicly, that while almost everyone currently lives under a cloud of suspicion, and we know we cannot guarantee our team is completely clean, we will do our best not to condone any use of illegal performance-enhancing drugs.

Therefore, a player who has been named in the Mitchell Report is not a player we want on our team.

I would love for the Yankees to take that kind of stand. Instead, they go and acquire Jerry Hairston.
