The big talk in Chicago these past few days has been about a possible trade for "Injectin'" Brian Roberts, who the Orioles are trying to deal. The Cubs might pay a heavy price to acquire the man whose baseball talent is fueled by his artificially-increased rage (it's not true, but it sounds kind of funny).
