Brewers (3) @ Cardinals (0) 7/23 -- Tastes Great, Less Filling

Tastes Great:

CC Sabathia--One of the most dominating performances of the year for any pitcher.  The Cardinals had no shot against CC tonight.  It was a pretty significant package we gave up for him, but he sure has paid off so far.

Ryan Braun--Oh how I love thee, let me count the ways.  There's certainly been no post All-Star/Home Run Derby slump for Ryan.  He's gotten stronger.  Showed incredible power and ability to hit to all fields.  Also showed the speed that could make him a 30/30 performer if he ever learned how to be a base-stealer and wasn't kept in place by hitting in front of Prince.

JJ Hardy--In a tight battle with Braun to see who's the hotter hitter since the All-Star break.  His home run opened the floodgates a bit and you could feel that with CC on the mound he'd make it hold up.

Rickie Weeks--Has really been heating up lately.  Maybe the Durham trade will serve as the kick in the pants he got last year by being sent down.

Less Filling:

Corey Hart--Not often that he appears here, but left 7 men on base.  Doesn't look good since the break.
