Milwaukee Brewers righty Ben Sheets was busy dominating the Cincinnati Reds Friday before tightness in his pitching arm forced him to abandon the hill after five innings. The bullpen actually held on this time for a 5-2 victory.
"It’s just sore," Sheets said. "It’s really sore. It’s kind of a crampiness in there."Oh no, crampiness? Never a good sign.
Sheets, 29, had been just cruising along this season, compiling a 3-0 record and 0.96 ERA, highlighted by a great performance against Johan Santana and the New York Mets last Monday, when he sent down 18 straight at one point.
His history of injuries tells us this soreness and crampiness may be a bigger deal than Sheets would like us to believe. Over the past two seasons, he's been plagued by a strained groin, shoulder tendinitis, a torn finger tendon, and a sore chest muscle.
However, all hope is not lost. He's not on the DL, yet.

That guy is so damn good yet so damn fragile. His stuff is plain filthy but his body apparently can't handle 162 games, let alone the month of April. I hope for the Brewers sake he isn't seriously injured or they are indeed screwed.
The Brewers are not screwed, they still have Yovani Gallardo and Claudio Vargas! Oh yeah.. that's right. Nevermind.
GALLARDO IS COMING TOMORROW!
Jeff Weaver soon too...
