Ben Sheets has just become the Milwaukee Brewers all-time strikeouts leader, after fanning Albert Pujols during the first inning of Saturday afternoon's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The 29-year-old righty surpassed Brewers great Ted Higuera with his 1,082nd career strikeout in his eighth season with the club, striking out Aaron Miles before getting Pujols to swing and miss. Rather retributive, as Prince Albert has a career .403 batting average when facing Sheets.
The three-time All-Star is 4-0 with a 2.29 ERA for the Beermakers this season, pretty much carrying their entire pitching staff.
Also, let them have maple.

Yeah, that is too bad for the folks of Milwaukee. I seriously don't get it, they have decent players in their lineup, and pretty good starting pitching when you count Sheets. I think they have that wretched Gagne Disease that tends to infect the clubhouse and linger for a while.
Someone needs to start a Fire Gagne campaign before Yost gets canned.
