Vote for Cappy!!
I keep saying how cool it would be if Chris Capuano of the Brewers made the all-star team this year, but then I never posted about it. So, here you are.
You all have until 5:00pm this Thursday, July 6th, to place your votes for the “FINAL VOTE.” I don’t know how Capuano didn’t make the team outright, but I guess this will do. Here. To prove my point, let’s compare his stats to those who DID make the all-star team already.
| ERA | ||||||||
| Brandon Webb, ARI | 2.72 | 9-3 | 132.1 | 130 | 44 | 40 | 20 | 97 |
| Carlos Zambrano, CHC | 3.33 | 7-3 | 119 | 85 | 47 | 44 | 65 | 118 |
| Bronson Arroyo, CIN | 2.79 | 9-5 | 125.2 | 112 | 43 | 39 | 29 | 95 |
| Brad Penny, LAD | 2.94 | 9-2 | 101 | 95 | 33 | 33 | 26 | 76 |
| Tom Glavine, NYM | 3.43 | 11-2 | 112.2 | 112 | 47 | 43 | 34 | 78 |
| Pedro Martinez, NYM | 3.45 | 7-4 | 101.2 | 74 | 44 | 39 | 28 | 111 |
| Chris Carpenter, STL | 2.88 | 7-4 | 103 | 97 | 37 | 33 | 27 | 90 |
| Jason Schmidt, SF | 2.69 | 6-4 | 120.1 | 91 | 39 | 36 | 41 | 102 |
| Chris Capuano, MIL | 3.45 | 9-4 | 120 | 121 | 49 | 46 | 25 | 106 |
As you can see, he’s hanging in there with the best of them. Heck, he’s got the same ERA and a better record than Pedro. I’d say that all-star worthy.
So, do your part and VOTE FOR CAPPY! Just click on that link. That will take you straight there. I can’t find anything that says there is a limit to the number of times you can vote, so do often. I know you guys don’t work anyway. 
GO CAPPY!
Well, Cappy didn’t win, but I guess Nomar is deserving. He is leading the NL in batting, after all. I’m sure Cappy will take tonights beautiful performance against the FIB’s over being named to the all star team anyway.
