Talk About A Bad Day

[love_that_reefer]

Miguel Tejada's older brother died in a motorcycle accident on Tuesday in the Dominican Republic.
He was already having an awful day, as Congress asked the Defense Department to investigate whether he lied to a house committee investigating steroids in baseball. Tejada received the news while traveling to play in a Dominican Winter League game. He immediately returned home to be with his family.

Just terrible.

Awful news but Tejada is expected to be at camp...

Houston Astros general manager Ed Wade anticipates Miguel Tejada to be at spring training, even as the FBI investigates whether the former AL MVP made false statements with to a congressional committee about possible use of performance-enhancing drugs.

"Obviously, there are issues right now that have to be addressed by others," Wade said Friday. "Really, from a club standpoint, there's nothing we can do to get involved at this stage, other than to remain optimistic that things will work out and he'll be with us at spring training and for the life of his contract, at the very least."

Houston's first full-squad workout is scheduled for Feb. 19.

The Astros acquired Tejada on Dec. 12 in a trade that sent five players to Baltimore. The four-time All-Star shortstop, voted 2002 AL MVP with Oakland, has two years left on a $72 million, six-year contract.
