I didn't realize there were people other than Cubs who suffered ST injuries. Very refreshing in a way.

 

Best of luck to Sheets though.

Here is more on it, if anyone cares...

 

This from JSOnline...

 

Phoenix - Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Ben Sheets left his exhibition start against Oakland in the bottom of first inning today at Phoenix Municipal Stadium with what was described as an irritation of the right latissimus muscle, the same muscle that sidelined him for the final six weeks of last season.

 

Sheets, who had been slated to throw three innings, walked off the mound after allowing a RBI single to Athletics catcher Jason Kendall, the eighth batter he faced in the inning.

 

Kendall's hit, the sixth allowed by Sheets, prompted a visit from pitching coach Mike Maddux. After a few moments, manager Ned Yost and head athletic trainer Roger Caplinger joined the discussion and Sheets left the game with Caplinger at his side.

 

Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash said that Sheets will be examined by team doctor William Raasch on Saturday. Raasch had planned to be in Phoenix to conduct physicals in minor-leauge camp.

 

"Roger (Caplinger) said that Ben describes it not as pain, but as (an) uncomfortable feeling,'' Ash said. "(Caplinger) did some manual testing and feels like there is still strength in the shoulder. He doesn't feel like there has been any reoccurrence. But, we'll have to have Dr. raasch look at him on Saturday.''

 

Asked if Sheets would undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam, Ash said: "Possibly. It's going to be the doctor's call. Obviously he's very familiar with the injury and the progress, having examined him numerous times during the winter.''

 

Although Sheets did throw a handful of curveballs, a pitch he avoided in his spring debut last week, there was no question that the velocity on his pitches was not close to its usual standards.

 

"We couldn't really tell (if the velocity was down), but obviously the hitters told you that,'' Ash said.

 

Sheets began his outing by allowing a single to Mark Ellis and a two-run homer to Mark Kotsay. Bobby Crosby lined out to right field, but the next three batters - Eric Chavez, Jay Payton and Nick Swisher - singled. Matt Watson followed with a high chopper to first baseman Prince Fielder, whose throw to the plate was wide.

 

Kendall's RBI single made the score 5-0 and sent Sheets to the clubhouse.

 

"I think the good news is that it wasn't pain,'' Ash said. "I think at this point, it's just premature to speculate. We'll just have to let the doctor look at him."

 

 

I'm really hoping this is a minor thing and he'll be ready for opening day. The Brewers can't afford to have an expensive #1 starter who can't stay healthy.

Bad luck, brewhaha. I didn't mean to make it sound major as no one knows. It could very well just be initial aches and pains of ST as players get back into the grind.

Brewhaha, is there a good hotel in downtown MIL you'd recommend? A bunch of us are coming up for a series this summer and we're finding rates of approx. $150 per night.

Yeah, that's what I was going to recommend. I have never been there but have heard some really nice reviews...I also believe ESPN did a top 5 road trip article, like top 5 restaurants, bars, hotels, etc. in major cities and the Pfister was in the top 5. Probably pretty expensive though.

I was hoping for some tips on some less expensive gems in the city. Really, we're not going to be in our rooms much.

 

If you want to stay in the city... (not much of a city if you ask me)

 

Your choices would be:

 

Hyatt Regency

Hilton

Wyndham

Marriott - Courtyard

 

All could be had for under 100.00 per night by utilizing orbitz, expedia etc...

 

Don't get your hopes up re: Milwaukee, it is pretty pathetic to be honest with you.

 

That being said, Cubs Baseball and hot summer nights are always a good time :)

 

Enjoy bro!

Thanks, CCF! Although I'm a Cards fan (and I'm a gal) and I'm sure many would agree Milwaukee is not too unlike STL. The lowest price our group found for a "reputable hotel" was $140 (normally $180) for Residence Inn and that was on Priceline. I would be surprised if we could do better with the places you named.

Hmmm...suprising, not knowing the dates you will be in town, I ran a quick check on hotels.com and found the majority of the hotels downtown to be around 120.00+

 

If you don't mind being 15 minutes away from downtown, you could always stay off I94 in Brookfield. Several nice hotels for around 100 could be had.

 

Good Luck sista! :)

My bad, like the other guy said I think your best bet is to stay outside of the downtown area off 94 or 43. I haven't stayed at any hotels around there tho.

 

Or you can all stay at my apartment..kidding..but not really.

well if this was the Cubs, Sheets would have been leaving the game for personal reasons, we would be told he has turf toe, then he would have shoulder surgery on opening day
