Ben Sheets

Have I mentioned lately that I love the far too often injured (please stay healthy this year) Ben Sheets, in a strictly platonic sports fan kind of way, and yesterday's shutout just makes this unrequited love even better.
In case you missed the news, here it is: Sheets hadn't tossed SHO since rookie year. Can you say 5 and 1?
I may have mentioned before that I saw Sheets throw an 18 K game on a beautiful Sunday in May of 2004 against the Braves? (To get off the point, that day was also the first time I set foot in the west side of Lake Michigan.)
That was a three hitter and the fastest baseball game I have ever seen. It was two days before Randy Johnson threw a perfect game with only13 Ks against the Braves, I think Sheets demoralized them for Johnson.
I jest, of course, about the Ks, Randy Johnson is amazing though I have missed seeing him in person in both Seattle and Phoenix by one day.
But back to my Brewers. I want to apologize to my Cubs fan friends, but I see us kicking ass and taking names this season.
As for my Tigers, my poor 0-6 Tigers -- I just want to say it's still early and I'll still love you win or lose.
