The Brewers have an Ace



I think Ben Sheets has finally come into his own as a pitcher. Today he fanned 18 Atlanta Braves. I was watching the game on TBS and he was simply spectacular. The only other game I have seen pitched that comes close to that is the one where Kerry Wood struck out 20 batters in his rookie season.

He is 4-2 with a 2.90 ERA and 66 SO's in 59 IP on the season. Naturally I am kicking myself for not picking him up on the waiver wire in some of my fantasy leagues. Damn it!
