BLOG: Please Be OK
I will tell you that while I root hard for my teams I am always pessimistic. The news that Brian Roberts can't practice with a stiff neck scares me. He is the guy that for lack of a better term, stirs the drink for the Baltimore Orioles offense. They need him batting leadoff and playing second base for this season to have a chance to be a success. I love what Buck Showalter did and the additions of Derek Lee and Valdimir Guerrero are huge, but Brian Roberts is to me the most important Oriole.
