PrintI don't think I've ever in my life woke up and frantically checked Twitter, but I did this morning. I needed to know how Lance Berkman was. Skipping through the mass of emails, etc. on my Blackberry I quickly located the following and shouted with glee:
So let's all pause today and thank the god's of baseball/knee-innards for our good fortune. Without the good grace which they have bestowed upon us, we'd be looking at two weeks of Geoff Blum as our starting 1B. In a season which we're hoping that all the cards are dealt favorably to the Astros, that'd be like drawing a seven/two off-suit start.
Ok. I'm getting back to my NY vacation.

We could still see two weeks of Blum or Shelton
Don’t cross that off your checklist of things to feel miserable about just yet. From what I’ve read 2-4 weeks is an optimistic forecast for recovery from arthroscopic knee surgery—not impossible, just optimistic. I suspect 4-6 weeks is a more likely.
