Yet again, it’s that time. Time to find out five fun facts about one of the Brew Crew. Today’s spotlight is on that of Brewers’ left fielder Ryan Braun. Braun, ever since coming up in 2007, has been an absolute menace to opposing pitchers and a massive offensive and defensive force for us. Winning the NL MVP last year was just another huge step in the great career of Ryan Braun. Braun is also a Rookie of the Year Award winner, a four time All-Star, four time Silver Slugger Award winner and he is a part of the 30-30 club. Now, I’m sure you already knew this about Braun, so let’s delve into some interesting facts about him:

Welcome back for the exciting reveal of the 4th greatest mustache in Brewers history. This was a hotly debated decision. It felt wrong to not have him on the list, but at the same time we felt like his mustache maybe was less important than the man himself. Well, here we go:

Nyjer Morgan REALLY Likes Hockey

Lou Olsen — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 18:26:27 +0000

Newest Brewer, Nyjer Morgan, is a hockey prodigy. How do I know that? He told us……like a just a few weeks ago…….is anyone reading this site anymore? Plus, I have watched every Brewers game this season and that guy is not afraid to lose a few teeth, eh? Take for example his blasting of former teammate Ryan Doumit at home plate last night. Or just 6 days ago when he straight board checked Briann McCann during a play at the plate (see below).

Two Minutes?!?!?.....well worth it

The All-Brewers Team: Positional Players

Colin Bennett — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 22:40:03 +0000

It has been a long time coming, but it is finally here. The All-Brewers team is up and running, and submitted respectfully for your consideration. There isn’t a lot more to go over, and to be honest I have been stuck to my laptop pouring over stats and writing drafts for far too long. So [...]

Lou Olsen — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 04:00:12 +0000

Today we finally got to see Zack Greinke on the mound in a Brewers uniform. Well, I have said it before and I will say it again now; Spring Training games really do not show you much. Zach had a rough go of it today. It took him 8 batters to record 4 outs. ZG finished the [...]

Jody Gerut: The most improbable cycle?

Tue, 11 May 2010 22:22:32 +0000

Greetings and salutations, Brewer fans, and welcome to Reviewing the Brew, where we focus on any and all things related to Wisconsin’s MLB franchise. My name is Dave McGrath, and I’ll be your guide here at RtB. I’ll post a more thorough introduction about myself on an upcoming off-day, but you can know that I am a UW-Madison graduate that has worked as a sports journalist since 2004, covering the Badger football, men’s basketball and hockey teams, the Green Bay Packers and the Brewers.
Anyway, as any Brewer fan knows, there is a LOT of ground to cover with this team, from lineups, managerial decisions… heck, Jeff Suppan will probably have an entire series dedicated to him. And I hope to get to all hot topics in due time.
However, to kick off my contributions to this blog, I’ve decided that a look at a more positive aspect of the squad, that being Jody Gerut hitting for the sixth cycle in team history on Saturday against Arizona.
Now, when I first heard that, I thought to myself: “Jody Gerut??? That has to be the most unlikely candidate to hit for the cycle ever.”
