Wow. Chris Capuano with another gem of an outing. Six hitter, no walks. Game just a shade over two hours long. Cappy cruised and was never really in trouble all night to get his 10th win of the year. If he doesn't replace Pedro on the All Star team, something is seriously wrong.
Where would this Brewer team be without Capuano right now? When Sheets went down, Cappy stepped up to take over the role as "ace".
How excited can we get over the Brewers right now? They are above .500 and did it without their #1 and #5 pitcher and their starting shortstop for the majority of the season. And all three, barring setbacks, should be coming back within the next couple of weeks. What other team could improve by adding 40% of their rotation and a solid shortstop at the trade deadline? St. Louis is reeling, as is Cincy. The NL Central has become mediocre. And the Brewers are potentially just hitting their stride.
I say again. Wow.
