Brewers Notebook: Postseason power outage
A punchless offense brought the Brewers' postseason to a screeching halt. Now, it's time to reevaluate what went wrong, what worked and who will be back next year when Milwaukee tries to take the next step towards a championship. At the top of the to-do list: extending general manager Doug Melvin's deal and deciding whether or not to retain Dale Sveum. And oh yeah, CC Sabathia is a free agent, too.

Mission unaccomplished for Suppan, Brewers
When the Brewers signed veteran right-hander Jeff Suppan signed a four-year, $42 million contract before the 2007 season, they were banking on his experience and reputation as a "big-game" pitcher. In one of the bigger games in 26 years, Suppan came up short and doomed the club to a season-ending 6-2 loss to Philadelphia.

NLDS Game 4 Recap: Phillies 6, Brewers 2
So ends the ride... Jeff Suppan failed to deliver in the type of situation the Brewers signed him to handle. He surrendered three home runs in a three-inning effort. The Milwaukee bats failed to show up once again and the end result was a 6-2 loss to Philadelphia in Game 4 of the National League Division Series at Miller Park. The Phillies advance to face Los Angeles in the NLCS.
