Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
Ron Paul Reacts To Maine Caucus Results
Houston Astros first baseman Lance Berkman has been dealing with knee issues throughout Spring Training, and now he's going to have to go under the knife to correct them. He had his left knee drained two times in the past week, but there's more swelling to be dealt with, so he will have arthroscopic surgery to remove "loose particles," according to MLB.com. The Astros are saying Berkman will miss two to four weeks once the surgery is completed and won't commit to whether or not he'll be ready by Opening Day.
Along with Carlos Lee, Berkman anchors the Houston offense from the middle. The five-time All-Star has hit no less than 24 home runs for the past nine seasons and sports an outstanding .967 career OPS. When he stays healthy, he's pretty much always good for 100 RBI as well.
If Berkman is forced to miss any time, the Astros will likely have to use Geoff Blum at first. Blum hit .247 with a .680 OPS last season. So it would be a pretty drastic downgrade -- leaving a gaping hole in the middle of the lineup.
