May 16, 2011 – The last time Brian Roberts took the field for the Baltimore Orioles.  Exactly 339 days ago.

Predicting when or if Roberts will ever return to the Orioles lineup is as difficult as wrapping your head around  the notion of infinity or comprehending the end of LOST.  But here at BSR we’re watching eagerly and hoping that Brian Roberts will someday soon make a triumphant return.

Per MLB.com’s Brittany Ghiroli on the Twitter machine:

Brian Roberts will accompany the team to anaheim, which is a good sign. Been on entire three city trip. #orioles.

3.5/5 Smiley Brians – After initial reports that Roberts may stay back, this is an encouraging sign.  Roch Kubatko reported on Wednesday that Roberts would have to get the ok from his doctor to make the trip to Anaheim.  We’re still not sure how close Roberts is to being able to return, but we’ll take what we can get for now.
