Tejada-Gate

I'm wondering if Miguel Tejada is going to play for his team in the Caribbean Series next year or in the World Baseball Classic next spring. He's upset with how the birth certificate interview went down and he partly blames his country for it. He is known as Pelotero de la Patria, or ballplayer of the country, on his island so it's kind of a big deal if this guy is mad at the country. Here's what he said about the Dominican Republic when asked about the recent media backlash on the island.

"I really don't care what Dominican people think. You know why? Because they are involved in this situation, too," he said. "These guys got my birth certificate because somebody from the Dominican gave it to them.  He didn't find it by himself."

"I don't play for the Dominican. I play for Houston," he continued. "That's the people that I really want to care about. The Dominican, they can think whatever they want to think. That's my country but at the same time, they are the ones that are involved in this because that American guy went to my country and he let him go through my personal stuff. They are not supposed to do that. In my country, they let him do it."
