WEEI: Ortiz: ‘I don’t care about what anybody else has done’

New Players Association boss Michael Weiner was about it once again: What about the kind of leak that led to David Ortiz’ name being surfaced as one of those who had tested positive for performance enhancing drugs back in 2003?

...Finally, a little later Friday morning, Ortiz spoke.

The Red Sox’ designated hitter typically refuses to rehash any of the dramatics of last summer, which culminated with a press conference at Yankee Stadium. But this time he did want to make one thing clear: That he is not among those yearning to see more names come to light.

“I don’t really care. Honestly, I don’t really care. I’m here to play baseball. I’m here to focus on what I’ve got to do. I always mind my own business. You guys have never heard me talk about anybody’s else’s career or what anybody else does. I don’t care,” Ortiz said. “I really care about doing what I’ve got to do, and not have anybody point a finger at me. I don’t care about what anybody else has done. I don’t even care about people’s stats. If you’re good, you’re good, if you’re not good you’re not going to do (anything). That’s me. I came to play baseball one day, I going to walk away another. Enjoy the life, that’s what I do.

“Maybe another idiot will come out with something, I don’t really care.”

Which is why I always read the NY Daily News Sports ITeam Blog…and then knob twist for hours in my relaxing Kay Cesspool.

"If you’re good, you’re good, if you’re not good you’re not going to do (anything). That’s me."

And by that, he meant:

"If you’re good, you’re good, if you’re not good you’re going to do steroids. That’s me."
