The Astros activated pitcher Brandon Backe yesterday, and it looks like Backe will make his first start in just about a year on Tuesday against the Brewers. Backe's been out after undergoing elbow ligament replacement surgery. "I can't wait," the Houston hurler told the AP on Friday. "It's been a long road, a lot of traveling. This has been my goal -- to get back in and pitch this year on the team." How do you think he'll fare?
