08/10/2006: Cubs (Prior) @ Brewers (Davis), 1:05PM CDT

[Team Canada]

That way Cordero could qualify for another save!

 

There you go..

[hawing]

Stupid Henry Blanco.

[thablingster]

Nice job Jose.

 

I hope someone is up in the bullpen.

[brewers19]

Trouble starts with T, which rhymes with C, which stands for Capellan.

[bucksman4]

Henry Blanco (Hank White) couldn't hit a beachball when he was with us. Why do these old Brewers always come back to get us?

[PrinceFielder28]

If blanco played against us every game he would be hall of fame bound

[brewers19]

Why do these old Brewers always come back to get us?

 

Just to spite you.

[hawing]

Is it just my imagination, or does Pierre's hat seem to be cocked to the side in his gameday pic? That would be a little Belliardesque.

[SoCalBrewfan]

Is Capellan the main villain here? Yeah, a dinger to Hank White stinks, but it's the E5 that makes it costly. Oh, but wait...I stand corrected by mlb.com:

 

Entering Thursday's game, the Brewers had played 11 consecutive errorless games, tying a franchise record set in July 1979.

 

On one hand, that was not surprising, since Graffanino replaced Weeks, who had a Major League-worst 22 errors, and fellow newcomer David Bell is an outstanding defender.

[JohnBriggs12]

Great example on why Capellan should have spent the month pitching in Nashville. With Helling, Kolb, and Wise all throwing well lately, he wasn't needed. Now Ned brings him into a game that wasn't quite put away, and now Cubs are right back in it.

[PeaveyFury]

Yaaaay bullpen! YAAAAAAY bullpen!

It seems like it...especially that Mike Matheny guy.

With a 4 run lead, it was a decent time to get him back in the saddle.

[Team Canada]

Our backup catcher even can throw out Pierre!

 

I love you Mike Rivera.

[PrinceFielder28]

Nice play by Riveria...I'm impressed Pierre isn't easy to throw out...at least someone was able to get us out of the inning

[sheethead]

I like him.

Jim Powell was all over that on the radio last night too. I predicted an errorfest for today, but even one error proves the point I was attempting to make.

[SoCalBrewfan]

I'm trying to remember the name of the backup catcher before we called up Rivera. He handled the pitchers well, Ned said...bat would come around. Can't quite come up with the name, though. Ah, loyal Ned.

[hawing]

I can't see the play, but I'm already thinking, no WAY does Moeller succeed at that. No. Way.

[JohnBriggs12]

"With a 4 run lead it was a decent time to get him in the saddle"

 

Are you kidding? Have you watched this team all year? Less than two weeks ago, they nearly let a 4 run lead go vs. the Reds in one inning.

 

I wouldn't have used Capellan with anything less than a 6 run lead or behind in a game.

[SoCalBrewfan]

Four PA for Fielder and it looks like not a single pitch put in play...did he even foul anything off? Ol' Russ Branyan would be proud.

[hawing]

OK, Coco, let's prevent a bottom-of-the-ninth.

 

Edit: crap.

[bucksman4]

HERE WE GO!!!!

[adamb100]

Defense Implosion.
