Another day, another ballplayer in trouble. Miguel Tejada, of the Houston Astros, has been charged with lying to Congress about steroids. Tejada is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday where he is expected to plead guilty.

According to the report, he "unlawfully withheld pertinent information from the committee because defendant Tejada, before and during his interview with the committee staff, then and there well knew that player #1, one of his teammates on the Oakland Athletics, had used steroids and HGH,"

Which basically means he lied about knowing that McGwire was on the juice. Either he is loyal, or he didn't want it to get back to him about his own usage? I'm going with the latter.

What an eventful week its been for baseball. Good thing pitchers and catchers report on Saturday!
