I was watching the game tonight, up 4 going into the 9th, when, to my horror, Matt Capps goes ahead and gives up 5 runs and 2 homers and gives us the loss. It's not like this is a one-time thing either. Capps has given up at least 1 run 10 times this year in 32 games, and he's given up multiple runs 4 times. I'm fine with an occasional run given up, but no way our closer should be giving up at least one run once every 3 games.

I'm not sure if we should take him out as closer immediately, but based on how poorly he's done overall this year, at the least we've got to look at someone else, maybe Chavez or Hanrahan who can take his place, if he can't turn it around in the next few games.
