Brewers (2) vs. Pirates (1) 7/5 -- Tastes Great, Less Filling

Tastes Great:

Dave Bush--I've been very hard on Bushie this year, and he certainly has deserved it.  However, in his last 6-8 starts or so he's really performed pretty well.  I'm not ready to say I'm completely comfortable when he pitches, but at least he's improving. 

Mike Cameron--His shot early staked the Brewers to a lead.

Prince Fielder--He had to feel insulted when the Pirates intentionally walked Braun to pitch to him.  And he delivered with the game-winning hit.

Eric Gagne--So far, so good in his first two outings.

JJ Hardy--He's been hammering the ball latey.  But today he showed where his priorities lie.  He came in with a 16 game hitting streak and had an opportunity to extend it in the 9th.  Instead he followed orders and dropped down a sacrifice bunt to set up the winning run.  He was appropriately acknowledged with a nice ovation by the crowd.

Less Filling:

Certainly would have liked to see some more offense, but gotta be happy with the end result.
