05/21/2006 Twins (Bonser) @ Brewers (Capuano) 1:05 pm CST

[hawing]

Well,

 

I made a bare bones post to start last Sunday's IGT and the Brewers won four in a row. Probably coincidence; but how much worse can it get than last night?

 

Boof vs. Cappy. I hope that by the end of the afternoon, my rhetorical question above has no specific answer. My first retro Sunday and I am hoping to be 5-1 on games viewed in person once it ends.

You know, for as bad as we have gotten beat these last two games.... they were only two games. There were a LOT of things that went wrong... just incredibly wrong. I guess the first game really wasn't as bad until the grand slam. If we can get a win today, this series won't be a total disaster. We only lose one game in the standings, and the homestand is still 6-3.

 

Let's do it, Cap!

Considering the Twins struggles before this series, there has to be holes in their bats somewhere, right? Hopefully Capuano can find them. After last night, I don't ever want to see our bullpen for more than 2 innings again.

You know, although there have been only three posts before this one, I really like the optimism shown so far...

 

I thought this thread would reak of "Why does this team sucl?" from the start.

 

I like our chances with Cappy, though it is a retro Sunday, which in the past has meant either getting blown out or blowing a save, but still, like I said, I like our chances.

[UeckerAddict]

I really don't want to head to Cinncinati with a three game losing streak. Besides, Cappy is due for a win.

[undertow67]

Clark is back in the leadoff spot and Cirillo is at 2nd, batting 2nd today. Weeks with the day off. Interesting.

Very interesting, especially considering that Weeks hit very well yesterday. Yost seems to have a penchant for sitting players down the day after they hit HR's...

 

That said, I'm very optimistic about this team and about their chances to win today...

All I know is, if the Brewers win today they are 2 games up, instead of 3 games up. I can live with that.

[COOOOP]

Thank goodness for Cappy! Let's get the boy some runs please.

[wisconsinfan47]

Night and day between last nigh'ts top-of-the-first and today's.

 

Good work Cappy.

[brewers255]

nice 1-2-3 inning for Capuano. He only threw 8 pitches. 7 strikes 1 ball

[undertow67]

A 3 up 3 down inning. Thank you Cappy. I almost forgot what one looked like.

[PeaveyFury]

How clutch is Capuano?

 

Wow.

[wOOgiE22]

Brady is starting to finally come around. Now he just doesnt need a CS!

[COOOOP]

Cirillo needed to change bats evidently http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[wOOgiE22]

What a great start to the game. Now the Crew just have to drive in the runs and give major support to Cappy.

[DHonks]

nice...the Jeff of old!

[wisconsinfan47]

Alright, Bases Loaded.

 

ANYTHING but a comebacker for a 1-2-3 DP please!

[steve267268]

Wow, i really feel for Bonser here.

 

First ML start, gives up 2 hits, looked straight up intimidated against Jenkins.. and now he gets to face Carlos Lee with the bases loaded.

[COOOOP]

All runners advance on the sac fly, nice.

[brewers255]

BOO!!!! Only score 1 with the bases loaded and 0 outs.

[COOOOP]

Well, we got one run in. Nice, not thrilling, but nice.
