The Brewers always seem to mash Zach Duke, here's to hoping they can continue that. I'm happy to see Cappy get the start, let's see how much he can give the team.

Well, he preserved the 0-0 tie through the first batter. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif Though Manny might have given up multiple dingers by now.

Still plenty of game to go, hawing said hopefully.

[hawing]

Hey, Corey, that'll show you to hit walkoff dingers vs. the Pirates!

[crewcrazy]

Pretty sure Manny Parra could've done this. Or at least waited until the 6th inning to do this. Just saying.

[RightFieldCoder]

Anybody shocked that Prince failed witht the bases loaded and nobody out, but he manages a home run with the bases empty?

[brewmann04]

well Parra and Bush and Cappy has failed miserably and they all should be off this team, now you have yo,wolf,naverson as your 3 starters for 2011.

now it will be Melvin or our new Gm to find those other 2.

Not really, because Duke made a mistake with a fastball in the HR at-bat, but made a good pitch with the bases loaded that caused Prince to inside-out a pitch out to left.

[ttsather]

Just turned on the game - any Dave Bush sightings? Is he in the dugout?

[carniesandrubes]

This Parra kid looks promising. Maybe he should get a chance to start one of these days...

 

[brewmann04]

i have to believe the only one we see in a brewer uniform will be Parra for 2011 which is not a bad thing.

[hawing]

I imagine this or a similar thought went through Manny's head as he watched Cappy's outing evolve.

[brewmann04]

i wonder if they can Piggy back cappy and parra to make one starter.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Fielder! He's starting to catch on fire!

[RightFieldCoder]

I accept your appology Fielder.

[crewcrazy]

Of Prince's 28 home runs this year, 8 have now come against the Pirates. The next highest total against a single team is 3 against Texas.

[Rhett16]

I was hoping to see a little better performace from Capuano. Hopefully we can at least get the win tonight.

[hawing]

Uecker just said that Prince is "overdue" for a three-HR game. I like the way he thinks.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I don't get why Macha failed to use Braddock in the 7th with the 3 lefties due up in a row, and now in the 11th in the same situation.

[hawing]

Saving Zach for when it happens again in the 15th?

[PrinceEatMeat]

If it gets to the 15th I think Wolf will be in facing those lefties, lol.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Lorenzo! Stay on the bench Carlos!

[Hofbraunhaus]

Lorenzo Cain is the man!!! With every hit that Lo gets, the more I can't stand Gomez.

[hawing]

Livin' la vida Lo-Ca! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

I'd like to think that with every hit that Lo gets, the chances of our seeing Gogo diminish. Here's hoping tomorrow's Brewers starter can last a while.

[thablingster]

Rough game for Capuano. A lot of credit is owed to Parra for bridging three innings and keeping the Brewers in the game. I think he may have a future as a reliever as he has the stuff, it is just once people get to him the second and third time he nibbles and that's where he gets hurt.

 

This was a team win, which are the best ones. I was glad to see LoCain with the walk-off. Winning a 4-plus hour game is better than losing it.
