BREWERS GET TWO ALL-STARS
BEN SHEETS and DAN KOLB were named to the National League All-Star team yesterday. It's the first time in franchise history that two pitcheers were selected from the Brewers in the same year. Kolb was a shoe-in with his 24 saves (in 25 opp) and 0.87 ERA. Sheets was as close to a lock as you can be with a 7-5 record. It was nice to see that other people around baseball saw the other numbers Sheets has put up and realized that he is definitely worthy of making the Mid-Summer Classic.

Unfortunately LYLE OVERBAY was left off of the NL Roster. ALBERT PUJOLS was voted in while TODD HELTON, SEAN CASEY and JIM THOME were selected as reserves. You can't really make a case for five firstbasemen to be selected to the team. All of them are having great years and it's just too bad that our boy Lyle had to be left off the team. With Sean Casey heading to the DL now that may open up a space for Overbay.
