Who said this?

“I’ve got to be honest. I can’t lie. I wasn’t happy to do it,” [he] said. “But I did the job. That’s the point. It’s not about me, it’s about the team.”

Now, before you answer...know this.

The person who said this is ...

a) Being paid an annual salary of $6,500,000 - and that job only lasts about six months.

b) Is a major leaguer, who is as of this writing the 44th best player at his position - meaning he's not only not playing at a starting level, but isn't even a top bench player;

c) Was talking about laying down a sacrifice bunt for a team strapped for offense.

For those who haven't yet cracked this code, the player in question is Miguel Tejada, who did in fact lay down the bunt, then essentially walked down the line so he didn't force a throw - this is called "dogging it" and is, in a word, unacceptable.

This disgusts me and it should disgust Bruce Bochy and Brian Sabean as well as every other Giants fan. Tejada apparently still thinks of himself as a power threat, and had to be talked into laying down a frigging bunt for a team that can't score three runs a game. This is the kind of stuff that sends rookies back to the minors. It would be one thing if the guy was doing...well, anything. But Orlando Cabrera is on the team because our $6.5 million dollar man sucks so much.

Good lord, Miggy, shut your piehole and be a team player.

Or...not: As of August 31, just two days after I posted this, the Giants have waived Miguel Tejada. Miggy, not sorry to see you go. Have fun counting the money you didn't earn.
