Orioles worry that Roberts might not be ready for Opening Day

For the first time this spring, Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail acknowledged that the club is concerned that second baseman Brian Roberts might not be ready for the start of the season.

Roberts, who has a herniated disk in his back and then got sick as a result of the medication he was taking to ease the inflammation, hasn’t played in a game all spring, and now he has been shut down until at least Thursday.

In which the Orioles have the best second baseman in club history felled by bad medication.

Or: “Why you should never call the Mets for medical advice.”

Tell B-Rob to rub some dirt on it and get his pansy ass back on the field.

Tell B-Rob to rub some dirt on it and get his pansy ass back on the field.

This is exactly what Cal Ripken Jr. will say when he's manager.
