SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) -- Baltimore Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada said Thursday he's unhappy with the team's direction and wants to be traded.

"I've been with the Orioles for two years and things haven't gone in the direction that we were expecting, so I think the best thing will be a change of scenery," Tejada told The Associated Press during a telephone interview in his native Dominican Republic.

Tejada signed a $72 million, six-year contract with the Orioles before the 2004 season.

Poor Tejada, just like poor Manny Ramierez, it must be soooo difficult to play in front of adoring white crowds for millions of dollars. They should be subject to the same treatment any of us would be if we were whinning about being unhappy with our employer===>escorted to the door with our personal belongings in a box. Go find another paycheck buddy!!

I'm worried about Tejada. He has a games played streak of over 1,000 games. He should have sat towards the end of last season but didn't. In 10 years he will be right near Ripken and we all will have to suffer endlessly about how hard working Latinos are and how good they are for the economy, blah, blah, blah. His streak needs to end soon before it takes on a life of its own.
