Bouya. Three series that made a huge difference this year: The 4-game sweep of the Brewers in WI; the 2-1 series with the Cards this past weekend; and the 3-game sweep in GA.

The first halted the Brewers when they were on a roll, and put Sabthia in his place. The second, told a rather good Cardinal team to step down. The third, kept the gas on while the Brewers were charging again and put them back a game further.
