No, Not That Lance

If you're a Houston Astros fan, you're probably wallowing in depression right now over the team's miserable season thus far. But up to the north, just beyond the reaches of I-35, there waits a small glimmer of hope. Well, he's actually a rather large glimmer of hope when you get down to it.

That's right, Houston's All-Star outfielder Lance Berkman , who has been sidelined all season with a knee injury, will make a rehab appearance with the Round Rock Express this Saturday, April 30. Game time is 7:05 p.m. The sooner Lance gets back to the Astros, the better because they desperately need an offensive charge right now. So head on out to the Dell Diamond and cheer on the other Lance.

If college ball is more your thing, or you think Round Rock might as well be Dallas, the #1-ranked UT baseball team is hosting a 3-game series with the Missouri Tigers this weekend. Austinist is definitely gonna be there...it's a beautiful weekend for baseball.
