G-Men to Target Tejada

Bad news for C. Petegomery Angelos, worser news for Ed Wade and his team down in Houston. Congress, including Nationals fan Rep. Tom Davis, has decided that maybe Miggy wasn't telling the truth after all when he testified that the extra arms he grew in Baltimore were the result of vitamin B-12 injections and cod liver oil.

And not, you know, the steroids he and Raffy were doing.

Actually, maybe not such bad news for C. Petegomery Angelos. His Orioles have been one of the worst organizational offenders on doping but Baltimore has caught very little flak for it. And in Tejada, the songbirds got the benefits of his steroid-induced third and fourth arms for the maximum length of time before trading him for a brand-new starting rotation and an outfielder from Houston, where the Astros will now pay the price of any possible bans or criminal sentence against Miggy. So in the end, things have worked out for Angelos almost as well as the time he turned the recycling plant into a fish-slurry factory. How does the man escape accountability every time? Nobody's contract with the devil is that good, at least not without regular human sacrifice.
