Home Run Derby

Last night, the Milwaukee Brewers lost their 18th conscutive game in which Chris Capuano pitched for them.

Capuano gave up back-to-back Home Runs to the Cubs’ Matt Murton and Alfonso Soriano at Wrigley Field Thursday night. The 2nd Home Run was the game-winner and put the Brewers 2.5 games back of the Cubs in the NL Central race.

That’s Capuano throwing his gum in frustration. Best throw you made all night, Cap.

In “honor” of this dubious stat, I decided to head over to Wordsmith.org and use their Anagram-Maker to see if there were any fitting anagrams which appropriately described Chris Capuano.

There were a few good ones …

• Scar Pain Ouch (The Brewers have 18 now)
• Ah Pain Occurs (For the fans – every time he pitches)
• Ah Crap, Cousin (Said every time he’s warming up in the pen)
• Coach Rip Anus (What Ned Yost should do to Capuano)
• A Coach I Spurn (What Capuano does every time)

But this is my favorite

• A Crap Cushion
