i'm sorry...

 

but if it's anything more than a cramp...

 

there goes the season...

[DuluthBrew]

hahahaha

 

hurt again

 

can't help but laugh, it's becoming comical

[SlideBernieSlide]

Poor guy is cursed. Must have made a deal with the devil before that 2000 Olympics game against Cuba.

[thablingster]

LOL.

 

Come on Claudio, pound that meat! Hey offense, you see who is on the mound, right? Time to get the bats going! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[naivin]

What a joke. What a waste. What a disappointment.

[timothyw80]

I don't think it can be called bad "luck" anymore...

Ben "China Doll" Sheets

[JohnBriggs12]

He's a china doll. Man, what kind of an athlete is so darn fragile? Doesn't he stretch?

 

That's it for me. He can't be counted on. Trade him this offseason.

[naivin]

Does anyone actually believe that Ben Sheets puts enough work into conditioning and taking care of himself? I know I don't.

[sheetswannabe]

Sheets needs a better workout routine, he really seems unathletic. Ive heard before that if he is one of the least athletic people on the team, but he can pitch...he really needs to work out more.

[bucks2281]

Assuming he didn't seriously hurt something, can he pitch tomorrow?

 

Interesting--you have to wonder if that could happen. Maybe Thursday, if not tomorrow. I bet Cubs fans are licking their chops right now.

[owbc]

Ben is a great pitcher, but he just seems to be too poor of an athlete to be a consistent pitcher in the big leagues.

[sheetswannabe]

At least the Reds are up 3-0..hopefully they stay ahead today!

[Oldcity]

This is pretty much a joke. It's not even like he's hurting the same part of his body.

[timothyw80]

Shouldn't Yost have gone to someone like a Spurling this inning since the pitchers spot is up 2nd next inning?

[bacon06]

Dude, Ben, mix in some pilates, maybe a toe touch or two, something. You aren't very durable. Maybe put in some work beyond your natural ability and you could pitch a full season. I'm starting to go down the road that Sheets shouldn't be resigned after his current contract runs out, unless he can actually go minutes without stubbing a toe.

[endaround]

Hey, who could have known going on three days rest was a bad idea? Oh wait...

[Vgmastr]

Man, I had forgotten how slow Vargas works. Dude's painful to watch.

[moofnelson]

No outs in the 3rd and Zambrano has already thrown 51 pitches.

[thablingster]

Man, I had forgotten how slow Vargas works. Dude's painful to watch.

I was thinking the same thing, lol.

 

[TauPentaRei]

At least the Reds are up 3-0..hopefully they stay ahead today!

can you put that in blue please... it's too late for that kind of thinking.

this game must be won.

 

[hurricanecrush]

You just know that Ben is going to go to another team at the end of this contract and not miss another start for his career.

[JET15]

Dude, Ben, mix in some pilates, maybe a toe touch or two, something.

 

Can I suggest that the trainers trick him into chewing his toes nails instead of his fingernails. He'd be really limber, and it might do him some good to place some attention on something other than whittling down his fingers

[lukevan]

what exactly happened to Benny? Missed the first couple innings... thanks.

[moofnelson]

Ben Sheets probably tore some muscle that no one has ever heard of.
