07/06/2006 Cubs (Maddux) @ Brewers (Capuano) 7:05pm CST

Prince is trying to pull everything lately, and it is looking really ugly. When he was hitting in the .300's, he was hitting opposite field with regularity.

[adamb100]

PLEASE survive this inning Cappy without blowing the lead.

[brewerjamie15]

Capuano proving the voters wrong yet again. He should have been sent to the game.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

Cappy is such a stud

[adamb100]

BREWERS WIN!!!!!! OVER .500!!!

 

0-2 FINAL

[tookej]

Is a complete game shut out any good after a 13 inning win?! Capy is an all-star in my book!

 

GO CREW!

 

Miller has to be hurting too! What a job!

[brewerjamie15]

2nd CG shoutout of the yeat for Capuano. Wow. Dude is good.

[tookej]

Great start to what should be a very satisfying series.

[JoeH33]

How about that for a big "screw you" to Garner/Fans for not selecting him for the ASG.

[adambr2]

BALLGAME!!!

 

Another CS shutout for Cappy!!!

 

Great game Cap.. He sure made his case for taking Pedro's spot in the AS game!

[sheethead]

26 innings of shutout ball against the Cubs this year. Cappy, fantastic way to kick off Take Back Miller Park weekend.

[adamb100]

If Cappy does not go to the ASG I'm going to take a plane to Houston and talk to Garner myself. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[sgtcluels]

That was quick! Much much faster then last night. Alright Cappy! With Sheeters on the mend we might have a pretty scary staff soon.

[adambr2]

BTW...Braves just blew a 5 run lead against the Reds in the 9th inning...game now 7-7 going into the bottom of the 9th.

[AJAY]

FOUR IN A ROW !!

 

Back above .500

 

I loved how Cappy made a statement tonight.

Cappy's numbers against the Cubs this year... not bad.

[steve267268]

Cincy's bullpen came in during the 6th tonight, so after this four game series with Atlanta they should be pretty torn up.

[packfan79]

Well what a great night Cappy gets win #10, we go over .500 and no bad Chad in the dugout I am loving it. Hopefully this game makes a statement for Cappy replacing Pedro.

so does anyone know what the crowd looks like tonight on the take back miller park debut? more of the same or more crew fans?

I was at the game and I'd say at least 65/35 Brewers fans to Cubs fans. Anyone else think that's about right?

[berniebrewer4life]

I had to work during the game, but i am glad to see we pulled it out. from listening to the game during the break, it sounded 65/35. But i donno.

[Mike Felder]

Great night! I was at the game too and it was a lot of fun. I was worried when we didn't score any runs in the first 3 innings despite great opportunities, but we ended up getting 2 and that was all Cappy needed. What an awesome pitching performance. Jenkins' throw to nail Ramirez was insane! From my vantage point (behind 3rd base, upper deck) I thought the throw was going to hit Ramirez in the back of the head, that's how accurate it was.

 

It did seem like there were a lot more Brewer fans than Cub fans there tonight. Some of that may have been because the Cubs fans were really, really quiet all night. The ones by me were docile; I got the impression that they knew they were going to lose anyway, so why cheer. On the way out, some of the Brewers fans were whooping it up and the general response was "whoop-de-do, you beat the Cubs. Haven't you heard how bad we suck?"

 

One final note...I was at the game with my sister. She just finished reading my copy of Moneyball and is enjoying her new perspective on the game. So she's looking at the stats on the scoreboard and says "What kind of idiot would bat Pierre and Perez at the top of the order when their on-base percentage is so low?" It's official....even my little sister thinks Dusty Baker is a moron! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/roll.gif

[brewmann04]

great start by Cappy and has to open garner eyes.

need to keep the streak going

[steve267268]

Did she do that? Really? That's awesome. I think i might have to buy that book for 2 of my sisters. The other knows her stuff... She plays softball and is darn good at it. Going into 8th grade next year and they want her to play with the JV team.

 

Anyway, i might as well pick that up for my girlfriend too. She's a diehard Jenkins fan, Brett Favre too...

[jloos19]

Neifi Perez has a .260 OBP. It's so funny hearing Cub fans cheer Perez on, having no idea how bad he really is. I was at the game as well, and it was a nice, relaxing, quick victory. Capuano was spectacular, there's no other way to put it. And on the Brewer/Cub fan note, I'd agree that there were plenty more Brewer fans than Cub fans. I'd say even close to 70/30, it was nice to see.

[SeriesFinale]

I live in Chicago, and trust me, they know how much Neifi Perez sucks. I mean, you'd hear Crew fans cheer for Grooter and Chad Moeller, too.
