it's a big series for the cubs this weeks. Four games in Milwaukee. And what better way to see what a team is really made of than to start off facing Sabathia and Sheets. I think it's going to be a hard fought battle on both ends. It's still July and this series will not make or break either team but it can swing a lot of momentum in one's favor. The Cubs will have most of there banged up team ready to play except for Kerry Wood. But with Marmol and the newly brough up Jeff Samardzija, their bullpen should be pretty strong.

er for the National League, and making his first ever trip to Yankee Stadium will be Brewers hurler Ben Sheets. He was selected by manager Clint Hurdle based on his stature among on the players ballots cast. His peers are the best judge of talent, and Sheets fails to gain criticism with his numbers. His 2.85 ERA is just about a full run lower than his numbers the past years and his 10 wins are only two shy of his career high which he set in 2004 and matched in 2007. Despite the brilliance Sheets has shown so far in his career, his tenure could be easily summed up by his strong potential for injuries which have clearly limited his career totals. In his second All-Star campaign in 2004, his first since his rookie year in 2001, Sheets pitched 237 innings, leading the league strikeout to walk ratio but was limited to 12 wins due to his 6th place Brewers. But since that breakout year,

Carlos Zambrano and Ben Sheets pitched up to their enormous potential each throwing shutouts for 6 and 2/3 and 6 1/3 respectively before giving way to their bullpens.

Milwaukee Brewers
Can Ben Sheets stay healthy?
Sheets always seems on the verge of becoming one of the best young pitchers in the game when he is healthy, but his seasons always end up broken up by frequent stints on the DL for one thing after another. The Brewers have some young pitchers with tons of potential in Yovani Gallardo and Manny Parra as well as some serviceable veterans, but they really need Sheets to become the ace of the rotation and innings eater that he is capable of. Unfortunately it is tough to predict if he is past his injuries as they have so often been the unforeseen and freak variety. With him in the rotation, a middle of the road staff becomes one in the top third of the league, something Milwaukee will need in order to compete with the Cubs.
