Scroll down a bit past the entertainment-industry fluff, and you'll see that the Brewers' catcher is unloading his house in Manhattan Beach.

My opinions, great letter. Sort of reminds me how hard it is to go from baseball mode to any other sport still. This season was such a trip.

The "Game Changer" ad features the Braun walk-off slam near the midpoint of the ad.

That clip just never gets old for me; apparently not for the iPhone folks, either.

Among other things, it talks about Appleton being the prime rehab location for injured Brewers trying to make it back to the majors.

From Dayton Daily News writer and J. G. Taylor Spink Award winner Hal McCoy's top 3 memorable moments of the 2008 Reds season:

2 Former Reds relief pitcher Todd Coffey, now with Milwaukee, pitched a 1-2-3 inning against the Reds then ran into a railing in front of the Brewers dugout because he was staring at the radio booth where Jeff Brantley was seated. When Coffey was with the Reds, Brantley said of him, "It is difficult to pitch with both hands around your throat."

There isn't much new information in the article, but it's always nice to see Brewers guys get mentioned nationally. It turns out ex-Brewers catcher Charlie Greene is a catching instructor in Maryvale.

LHP Lindsay Gulin, LHP Chris Narveson, LHP Sam Narron, and RHP Joe Bateman all signed minor league contracts for 2009 and got invites to major league spring training as well.

... didn't do anything to address the OBP situation.

Brian Anderson says he signed a five-year extension as PBP guy, and mentions that the Rock has also signed a multi-year deal (but not five?). Perhaps being stiff-armed by TBS hurt Rock's bargaining power. I question this move anyway: Rock's PECOTA projections suggest he will continue to flat-line.

I guess the fight started because someone (CNN said the brother-in-law of someone in the wedding party, I dunno) tried to bring in his own alcohol.

He was charged with with interfering with a police officer and resisting arrest and is now out on $1500 bond.

If you're getting married soon, watch out for Backe!

It turns out the erstwhile Sounds manager is now skippering the Caracas Lions of the Venezuelan Winter League (link goes to team roster). He'll be reacquainted with former Brewers farmhand Ben Hendrickson and get his first chance to manage Matt LaPorta. What a lucky guy!
