WASHINGTON -- Miguel Tejada waved his arms and hung his head.The confession began spilling forth before the question was out ofa reporter's mouth. "All the way, man," he said. "I prepared all the way to takethat pitch, and then I swing at the last minute." Even to veteran players, this is what happens when a personalslump is part of a team-wide pandemic. That toxic blend offrustration, apprehension and obligation does funny things to themind. It compelled Tejada to disobey a red light Sunday, as hegrounded out on a 3-0 pitch to strand two runners in the thirdinning of the Giants' eventual 5-2 loss to theWashington Nationals.
