Sideshow Brian Roberts
I remember watching one of Brian Roberts' first games in the Big Leagues on ESPN. It was a season where he was in that classic "gonna-be-good-but-needs-to-play-every-day-in-AAA" situations. And sure enough, in his first call-up stint he played great, even homering in his first game. (I think. Maybe it was his second.)
A couple of years later and he was still just a pretty good ball player. Until now.
I don't expect him to bat .378 all season, but it sure is fun watching him while he is. And hopefully when he comes back down to earth a little bit he'll continue playing at a high level.

Is the title of this post a reference to the Simpsons episode "Sideshow Bob Roberts" which is itself a reference to "Bob Roberts"? Kind of like "Shanghai Knights," which was a play on "Shanghai Noon" which was a play on "High Noon."
Also, I see somebody learned how to italicize...
Good catch on the title reference. I've known how to italicize for awhile, but nover realized what a glorious weapon the html arsenal it is.
So there
