4/19/06 Brewers (Capuano) @ Astros (Pettite), 7:05 PM CST

Looks like Ned proved some people wrong. Cirillo with 3 hits and Hall with 2 hits. Fielder could not have done much better than that.

[jloos19]

There is absolutely no explanation. Maybe he thought Lane would be lazy?

[COOOOP]

Cirillo!

 

.......

 

Well he got the RBI at least! Thrown out at second being a bit aggressive on the basepaths, he has that killer Italian sausage work ethic.

5-1!

[mastershake76]

Poor base running aside....whatever Cirillo had for breakfast this morning, he should stick with it.

[moofnelson]

Yep, Cirillo was out by a mile. But the damage had been done. If the Crew can't hold this lead, it's going to be a long plane ride back to Milwaukee.

[jloos19]

Schroeder, you are so wrong, Fielder IS eligible for Rookie of the Year.

[Harold Hutchison]

Didn't Weeks also score?

Oh no - sportsline.com shows Capellan up in the bullpen?

Uke just confirmed it.

[wisconsinfan47]

With the Brewers hitting as they were, keeping the inning alive was the most important thing...going to second obviously stopped that...

 

That said, what's done is done, and we need to nail this one down!

[COOOOP]

Wow this crowd does cheer on any fly ball, don't they?

[mastershake76]

Aaaaaahhhh. Got by Taveras and Berkman unscathed. Nicely done Cappy! what a night he's had.

[wisconsinfan47]

In a contest between Cubs and Astros fans, who would win the "Most Unnecessarily Excited at a Routine fly ball" award?

That's what I was thinking. That maybe Cirillo figured another hit to continue the rally would cause Lane to loaf to the ball dejectedly. Cirillo was probably really pumped up about the hit and thought he was gonna catch them crying. Darn.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Wow, a GEM from Schroeder!

No kidding?!?!

[DougJones43]

on the FSN telecast, daron and bill were just telling a strory about drew olson, but i only caught the very end of it. could somebody who's watching quickly give a recap of what they were talking about?

[wisconsinfan47]

Yuck...At least nobody was on base.

[moofnelson]

Today I thought that Capuano was going to have to pitch like an ace for the Brewers to win the game. He did just that. What a much-needed perfomance. Good job Cappy.

 

except for that home run.

[mastershake76]

d'oh.

[strawbossisevil]

I really don't like Ensberg, and of course any SS that we play because they almost always have big series against us.

[Invader3K]

Looks like we might see Turnbow yet tonight after all.

[valpocrewsader]

Do you like this move? I like getting Cappy out of there with just 2 ER after how solid he was tonight, but he has handled Preston perfectly tonight. And we know Preston is due to hit a blast. And some days, Cappellan has nothing but a straight fastball that guys like Preston just tee off on.

 

*worried*

[wisconsinfan47]

Despite the home run...

 

Hats off to Cappy...Facing Righties as a southpaw all night with that stinkin' short porch in right and pitching the way he did is quite a feat.

Cirillo has been watching the running abilities of the Italian Sausage closely, and has adopted the go for the jugular mentality of aforementioned sausage. We can all learn a lot from the Italian sausage, well all of us excepting Brady Clark.

[COOOOP]

nice start by Cappy.

[milwaukeesportsfan]

Who has the best nickname for the Capuano/Capellan combo?

 

The first thing that popped in my mind was Cap Guns.
