    Cardinals MRI could decide Berkman's fate

    Lance Berkman would consider retirement if his Monday MRI reveals a torn ACL.
    "If I've re-torn my ACL or something like that, I'd certainly get it fixed but you don't know how psychologically you're going to come back from something like that," Berkman said. "I'm not talking from the standpoint of being scared of hurting it again. I'm talking about doing everything it takes to come back and play again at an elite level. I think that's a legitimate question I'm going to have to answer if, in fact, it turns out to be something more serious than we hope that it is." At first, Berkman believed he injured his right meniscus on Saturday, but he seems to be coming to grips with the fact that he may have shredded his ACL. He'll find out on Monday.
    I wouldn't blame him one bit if he decided to retire. I had multiple surgeries on my knee and rehab fucking sucks. It's the worst part of it! Berkman has nothing to prove and got his ring last year so why not retire?

    Looks like he only tore his meniscus and will miss 6-8 weeks.

    Lance Berkman (knee) hasn't ruled out returning when the Cardinals begin the second half of the season next Friday.
    This jibes with what Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch told a local radio program Monday morning. Berkman says he's a "couple weeks" away, so even if he's not back next Friday, he's still ahead of schedule. The 36-year-old was hitting .333 (14-for-42) with one homer and four RBI in 13 games to undergoing surgery on May 25 to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee
    Matheny will have a tough task to keep Craig in the lineup.
