Is this team falling apart?

Brian Roberts looks like he hurt himself after stealing third base in the sixth inning. He kept bending over and grimacing between pitches, at one point causing third base coach Tom Trebelhorn to check on him, and he trotted home on Miguel Tejada's single. And I don't think it's because he knew that he could score easily.

Tejada was removed for a pinch-runner because he's having trouble making it around the bases. Javy Lopez was scratched with back spasms, and Kevin Millar left the game with a bruised right hand.

Tomorrow's cleanup hitter: Raul Chavez.

By the way, Rafael Soriano's fastball to Jay Gibbons was just clocked at 101 mph on the stadium radar gun.
