HOUSTON -- Six-time All-Star Lance Berkman is retiring
after 15 seasons in the major leagues. Berkman almost
left the game last off-season before signing with the
Texas Rangers. He then had another injury-plagued
season and was limited to 73 games. The 37-year-old
Berkman was Houstons first-round draft pick in 1997
out of Rice, and played 12 seasons for the Astros. He
played 1,879 career games, all but 287 for Houston,
finishing a .293 career hitter with 366 home runs and
1,234 RBIs. "Lance was one of the greatest players in
Astros history," his original team said in a release
Wednesday night. The Astros said they hope to honour
Berkman during the upcoming season and "give the fans
the chance to recognize his outstanding career." He
finished the 2010 season with the New York Yankees
before two years in St. Louis, where he was part of
the 2011 World Series champions. "Just physically Ive
gotten to the point where I dont feel like I can
compete at a level that Im used to competing at,"
Berkman told KRIV-TV of Houston. "I could probably
still drag my carcass out there, but Im not interested
in doing that. ... I dont want to hang on just to hang
on." Berkman said he was excited about retiring. The
Rangers declined their $12 million contract option for
2014 last October, which got Berkman a $1 million
buyout. He hit .242 with six homers and 34 RBIs for
the Rangers. He went on the disabled list July 7 with
a left inflammation and a sore right knee, and played
only five games after coming back the final month of
the season. The six-time All-Star played only 32 games
for St. Louis in 2012, when he dealt with a strained
left calf and had two operations on his right knee. He
hit .301 in 2011 for the Cardinals, who won the World
Series that season over Texas. Berkman had said last
winter that he had gone into that off-season feeling
like he was going to retire then. But he responded to
the Rangers, and made $10 million last season.

tournament, which begins Tuesday.HOUSTON -- Tim Visser
scored a try in the 14th minute, and Scotland added a
penalty try later in the first half in a 24-6 victory
over the United States on Saturday night at BBVA
Stadium. Scotlands Greg Laidlaw made one of two
penalty kicks and all three conversions, and Stuart
Hogg added a try in the second half. "The most
important thing to come out of the game is that we did
not get scored against," Laidlaw said. "That was very
important. We are happy to get the win. We left a
couple tries out there. We did our talking on the
field, and we are pleased to get off to a good start
on the tour." Chris Wyles connected on two of three
penalty kicks for the Americans. "I think the game
tonight never really picked up momentum, certainly not
from our side, but I mean in general, there were many
stop-starts there," U.S. coach Mike Tolkin said. "We
needed to add more urgency to it. The first half we
were too aggressive where we shouldnt have been and
got stupid penalties. Early on we werent aggressive
where we needed to be. Overall, we didnt do a good job
of holding on to the ball." Scotland controlled the
possession and kept the U.S. away from the try-zone
for most of the match The match was the first for Vern
Cotter as Scotlands coach. Cotter was pleased to see
his team score several tries without giving up any.
"We are happy to get a win in difficult conditions,"
Cotter said in reference to the temperatures in the
80s. "I thought we showed good struccture in the first
part of the first half and gave ourselves a few
opportunities to score a couple of tries.dddddddddddd
Our scrum got the better of their scrum, which gave us
an area to get a good grip of the game and gave us
points as well. I was pleased to see the opportunities
we created." Visser put Scotland ahead 10-3 in the
14th minute, breaking free and scoring a try before
Laidlaws conversion. After Visser dropped the ball
twice close to the try-zone, Scotland was finally able
to get in, scoring on a penalty try in the 32nd
minute, and Laidlaw added the conversion to up
Scotlands advantage to 17-3. After Laidlaw missed a
penalty kick off the upright in the fourth minute, he
connected on a penalty kick from inside the 22 metre
line to give Scotland a 3-0 lead in the sixth minute.
Wyles tied it at 3 with a penalty kick in the 11th
minute, and he cut Scotlands lead to 17-6 with a
penalty kick from outside the 22-meter line in the
51st minute, but that would be as close as the Eagles
would get. "It was tough," U.S. captain Todd Clever
said. "When we tried to put some things together in
their territory, it just wasnt there." Scotland upped
the lead to 24-6 in the 66th minute with Hogg breaking
free along the left sideline and scoring a try and
Laidlaw added the conversion. Clever had the Eagles
best chance at scoring a try in the 34th minute,
touching the line, but after being reviewed, Clever
was ruled to have done a double move, and the try was
negated.
