A Black Eye for Miguel Tejada's Streak
This could almost be a moot point based on the medical reports out of Baltimore, but it's still worth noting what happened on Thursday. Miguel Tejada has played in 1,152 consecutive games which according to baseball-almanac.com,

Batting second with the Orioles as the visiting team in San Diego, Tejada laid down a bunt, reaching on a fielder's choice in his lone at-bat. He was subsequently pulled for a pinch-runner,

I think it's admirable what Tejada has done -- shown up for work for and performed at a high level for six and a half seasons. I wish more players had his attitude and determination. But one thing that needs to be pointed out is how he cheapened the streak with that move on Thursday. When you're only taking one at-bat -- laying down a bunt at that -- and then being removed from a game,

This might not even matter after tonight's game if Tejada can't play, or if he's eventually placed on the disabled list. But it still matters for the integrity of consecutive games streaks. I don't ever remember Cal Ripken Jr. getting placed in the lineup to bunt in one at-bat,

Today I am leaving for a two week vacation to Europe. My long lost college roommate and I are going to be hitting up Spain and Italy and in Italy Vlad will be meeting up with us for a Gondola ride or two! I am super excited for this vacation and this time will actually be vacationing. We are lucky enough to have someone who will write posts for me while I am gone, Nerdphanie! You all remember her as a guest blogger! Now she is signed on as a two week blogger to fill my spot. She will bring you lots of new bags and goodies to look at. I will be posting sporadically, but not my usual four or five posts a day
