Games of the Day

Ben Sheets comes off the disabled list today and faces a tough challenge as he takes on the Mets at Shea Stadium. He'll be opposed by Brian Bannister. The New York Daily News prints this interesting tidbit on the match up.

Milwaukee's Ben Sheets is expected to come off the DL today to oppose Brian Bannister. The pitchers have crossed paths before. ESPN The Magazine used Bannister's commercial photography studio in Scottsdale, Ariz., for a March 2005 cover shot of Sheets. "I was the third assistant on the shoot. We built the set and everything," said Bannister, who has the cover hanging on a wall at his home.

Maybe Chris Berman will start calling Ben "Contact" Sheets. :-)

Bronson "Babe" Arroyo goes after his third win today against Mark Mulder and the Cardinals in St. Louis. Both pitchers possess batting averages higher than their ERAs, and both have two extra-base hits. We'll see if Bronson can make it three home runs in three games.

My nomination for slugfest of the day goes to the Yankees-Twins game. Chien-Ming Wang allowed 20 base runners in 10 2/3 innings so far this season. Radke's control so good his pitches become hittable. He's allowed four home runs in 13 innings this season.

Enjoy!
