Jon Heyman with Mike and Chris on WFAN today

Jon Heyman, SI, interview on Mike and the Mad Dog, WFAN today. (link to audio)

• 1. Pettitte got huge applause from fans today in Tampa. He was in good spirits, talked with people. Heyman qualifies his statements by saying he knows and likes Pettitte, but believes him, that he gives him the benefit of the doubt on the 2004 incident because it involved his father. For the record, says "he cheated but he's not a cheater," thinks he'll do well.

• 2. Damon--saw him today and looks good, much better than he looked coming into last season. Says Damon seriously considered retiring after last year but decided to come back.

• 3. Jason Giambi looks old.

• 4. Doesn't like Morgan Ensberg, thinks Houston is 'steroids central' anyway.

• 5. Discusses the Republican/Democrat thing with Mike and Chris. (They all fail to realize every issue in US government is like what we just saw. It's a hideous environment. Also, as I posted, George Mitchell is seen as a key figure in dethroning the first George Bush).

• 6. They all think Hank is great copy.
