Brewers Win, Lose Sheets, What Next?

The Brewers win for the first time in a week, but in the process they may have lost Ben Sheets for the remainder of the season. Of course.

Sheets was a little more reliable this year than he has been recently. He started the most amount of games since 2004, and for the first time in his career he won more than 12 games. His ERA and strikeout numbers were also the best since 2004.

In the JSOnline story, Sheets says that he is optimistic that he will be able to pitch again, and that this pain has been bothering him since late August. Back on September 6, he pitched a complete game shutout against San Diego, a 1-0 win for Milwaukee.

Since the All-Star break, Sheets is 3-5 with an ERA and WHIP higher than before the break when he went 10-3.

Can the Brewers clear yet another hurdle and make the playoffs? After tonight, they remain 1/2 game behind the Mets for the Wild Card.

If Sheets had any dignity he'd be like Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic. GO DOWN WITH THE SHIP SHEETS.
