Old friend coming home this week

Cappy coming home to pitch against the Brew Crew in the Upcoming series.

[jjgott]

I hope the crowd gives him a nice welcome

[Tailgat0r76]

I just got tickets to Tuesday's game and I was extremely excited to see it's Marcum vs. Cappy (I haven't gotten to see Marcum live yet this year either).

 

I really really hope he gets the welcome he deserves. He was essentially a throw-in in that Sexson trade and turned in to an 18-game winner for us. He was always a class act and was great with the fans.

[brewmann04]

I agree hope he gets a nice ovation just not a win.

[Dragonbait]

If Coffee got a nice ovation... then I'm really optimistic that Cappy will as well.

[kalle8]

the run to get cappy to win 20 games it's my first memory being a brewer fan. i didn't start with a bang...

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

I really hope the amateurs who do the "boo him because he played for the Brewers" thing stay home on Tuesday.

 

Cappy deserves a huge ovation.

[Invader3K]

Capuano was well liked during his time as a Brewer, and it's not like he left the team for more money or something. I'm sure he'll get cheered.

[topper09er]

Im sure Cappy will get a pretty big ovation. I just wish the Yankees came here and Sabathia started so he would get a huge 5 minute ovation and realize he made a mistake going to the Yankees.

Yeah, I'm sure that throughout his World Series run he was thinking "Man, I could be pitching alongside Mike Burns and Braden Looper".http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

 

I hate it when fans boo former players for no good reason. Unless the guy was a slouch or mouthed off about the community, etc. (Sheffield), I just don't see a reason to boo. Brewers fans are better than many when it comes to booing former players but it's still annoying.

 

 

[fondybrewfan]

O god I had forgotten about Mike Burns.

[SenatorShriv]

A huge welcome for Cappy would make me proud. Super classy guy that I wish we could have found a place for this year.

 

I think that we're on the right path to establishing the reputation that Milwaukee is a good place to play baseball. The more former and current players there are out there saying good things about the franchise and the fans the better off we'll be. Guys like Cappy and Todd Coffey getting warm receptions will help out our image a ton.

 

This has nothing to do with the fans, but the only thing I can think of that would paint the franchise in a negative light over the last couple years would be the handling of JJ Hardy and possibly the Prince Fielder explosion at home plate.

[carniesandrubes]

Not too many bandwagon "fans" on a Tuesday night, so he should get a good reaction.

[dlk9s]

I'm hoping for a nice, 1-0 Brewers win.

 

 

Side note: it would be cool if the Mets' new minority owner attended the series, as he's a Nicolet grad.

[JohnBriggs12]

I'm hoping he gets pounded like he did in 2007. I wouldn't boo him though. I did that enough when he was wearing a Brewer uniform. I have nothing against him personally other than he cost the team the division in 07.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Im sure Cappy will get a pretty big ovation. I just wish the Yankees came here and Sabathia started so he would get a huge 5 minute ovation and realize he made a mistake going to the Yankees.

I'm sure the $170 million dollars and the world series ring make up for the lack of cheers he gets.

[pretendastronaut]

I'll be there tonight and won't be booing Cappy. I'm sure he'll get a good return.

[Dragonbait]

Just scored tickets to tonights game... I will STAND AND CHEER for Cappy tonight.

[Fear The Chorizo]

I hope he gets a nice ovation before the game, and the manager gets booed for taking him out in the 3rd inning after the Brewers pummel him for about 10 runs

[jjkoestler]

Did Cappy get a standing O this evening?

[docduany]

Didn't get a standing O. He got a pretty nice response his first AB, but not a big as I thought he deserved. His next AB it was back to business as usual.

[CheezWizHed]

It will be interesting to watch if Cappy or Narveson ends up with better numbers at years end. I was one who advocated signing Cappy to compete with Narv, with the loser in the BP.

[Funketown]

I'm betting on Narveson. He has better peripherals and is a few years younger. Really though either would have been a good 5th option.

Cappy may end up with better raw numbers since he plays at Citi Field. I think Narveson was easily the better option though since he is younger and cheap and could conceivably still improve.
