If you asked me who wouldn't show up on time: Carlos Lee or Miguel Tejada, I would have gotten this one wrong.
Miggs showed up today, and this time, it was Run-DMc who got emotional.
"I just gave him a hug,” McLane said. “I had seen him a week ago and he and I had a long talk and he explained the entire issue with me. He had his agent and then his attorney and we talked through the entire process. I told him that he's an important part of our team, not only as a player but as a leader and to keep his chin up and keep going. Saw him this morning, gave him a hug again and repeated it to him."
And then Tejada talked:
“I work hard all my life,” he said. “This I know. And everything that I got it’s just because I work hard. For people who know me, they got to know how much I respect the game. I cannot think in nobody’s head right now. What I think is my family really believes me. My family really supports me. I know there’s a lot of people, and that’s going to go away. I apologize for what just happen and I hope that’s it.”
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
