Because the Post-Crescent included the team in their "Buy Local" story yesterday . Sales of Timber Rattlers merchandise took off this year when the farm team became affiliated with the Milwaukee Brewers. Hot sellers were co-branded items that had both teams' logos, said Jay Grusznski, merchandise manager for the store. He expects to have his best Christmas season ever because of renewed interest...

This could be one of my all time favorite MLBTR posts. Tim Dierkes scoured all of baseball's contracts and cribbed together the worst of the worst , the contracts any GM would love to get rid of. Happily, only Jeff Suppan (1 year, $14.5 million) is listed under the Brewers , though there are some other familiar names, including CoCo (2 years, $25 million) and Scott Linebrink (2 years, $10.5 million)....

Boxscore Braun reaches 200 hits in victory Never one to lack for confidence, Ryan Braun admitted he surprised himself with his intensity over the past week in pushing to compile 200 hits in a season. "I don't think I've ever been able to have this level of focus as far as trying to achieve one singular goal or singular event," said the Milwaukee Brewers' all-star leftfielder. "I think...

The Brewers scored 12 unanswered runs in 3 innings last night, including four on wild pitches, to come back from a 6-0 deficit to beat the Cardinals 12-6. Ryan Braun got hits 198 and 199, as well as steal 19, leaving him just shy of a few landmarks. Braun scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch that didn't get too far away from Jadier Molina. Braun was dancing a bit at third, but despite BA's claims...

The Milwaukee pitching has been brewtal this year. 4. taxing, demanding, or exhausting: They’re having a brewtal time throwing strikes....

Boxscore Suppan shelled again Colorado closes in on wild-card berth The Milwaukee Brewers talked a lot about sending guys into the fall and winter on good notes and feeling positive about how they finish this season. That's what you get when your team falls out of the race early and continues to sputter toward the conclusion. For right-hander Jeff Suppan, this was - maybe - his last chance to end...

Later this week, Manny Parra will make his last start of the 2009 season, giving him one last chance to maintain some momentum heading into the offseason and spring training of 2010. I don't think anyone got the season they were hoping for from Parra, who's spent part of 2009 in AAA due to ineffectiveness, part of it on the shelf with a stiff neck, and the remainder being either infuriatingly inconsistent...
