It's another Brewers-Cubs game, it's Mac and Cheese Tuesday, and there's pumpkin on the menu. If that's not a recipe for success, I don't know what is.

Follow the jump for tonight's pitching matchup, lineup and conversation on tonight's game!

Star-divide

Randy Wells (10-9, 3.06) is looking to rebound from a tough start against the Brewers last time out, when he allowed five earned runs on five hits and five walks in just four innings, raising his season ERA over 3 for the first time in a month. Wells has posted a 7.04 ERA and failed to last past the fourth inning over his last two starts. He has, however, been better on the road this season, posting a 3.51 ERA at Wrigley and a 2.57 ERA away from it.

Dave Bush (5-7, 5.88) wasn't great last time out (4 ER on 8 hits in 5.2 IP), but that was good enough to pick up the second of back-to-back wins for the first time since May 14 and 19. Tonight will be Bush's fourth start against the Cubs this season: he's 1-0 with a 4.26 ERA against them in 2009. Bush is also not afraid to pitch inside: He leads the National League with 14 plunks this season, the fifth highest single season total in Brewer history and the most by a Brewer since he hit 18 in 2006.

Tyler Barnes has tonight's lineup:

Felipe Lopez 2B
Craig Counsell 3B
Ryan Braun LF
Prince Fielder 1B
Mike Cameron CF
Jody Gerut RF
Jason Kendall C
Alcides Escobar SS
Dave Bush P

And in the bullpen:

Josh Butler pitched two innings (36 pitches) last night.
Seth McClung pitched one inning (27 pitches) last night.
John Axford pitched one inning (20 pitches) last night.
Mitch Stetter pitched one inning (16 pitches) last night.
Carlos Villanueva
pitched one inning (25 pitches) Sunday.
Chris Smith pitched two innings (19 pitches) Sunday.
Mike Burns pitched one inning (18 pitches) Sunday..
David Weathers
has not pitched since Saturday.
Todd Coffey
has not pitched since Saturday.
Trevor Hoffman has not pitched since Friday.
Claudio Vargas has not pitched since Thursday.

Enjoy the game!

Good for you.

Speaking as a parent, it’s rough taking a kid to a game without him coming home with some extra, unwanted vocabulary.

Of course, it does give me plausible deniability about my occasional outbursts at home being the source of that colorful vocabulary.

I'm really pissed off at Ken Macha right now.

It’s probably a good thing for me that I’m not at the game tonight so I don’t personally witness the equivalent of Macha telling Gamel he sucks ass.

Here’s hoping that Mat gives Macha the Gilooly treatment during batting practice.

by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Sep 22, 2009 6:28 PM CDT reply actions  

I'm waiting for Melvin to keep Gamel in AAA until June next year

Then complain about how service time rules, like super two arbitration, work against small market teams and large market teams don’t give a rip.

You know me Al.

by TheJay on Sep 22, 2009 6:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

I was wondering why they even bothered calling Gamel up

If they did not intend to play him. I would hope they know what Counsell can do it might be nice to give Gamel a start since Casey is getting the night off stupid Macha I hope you join Cooooooop in the unemployment line after the season is done.

Everything is just swell :)

by WSB Chris on Sep 22, 2009 6:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

You think Macha will be fired?

I expect to see a lively offseason over at firedougmelvin.com, when Attannasio keeps Melvin and Melvin keeps Macha and Kendall. I’m sure there will be more. I’ve reached a point where I think ownership sees a successful season in terms of ticket sales and concessions, and not in wins.

by Marty McSuperFly on Sep 22, 2009 6:56 PM CDT up reply actions  

You may be right about the measure of success

As long as he who shall not be named is not in CF I will be content to muddle through 2010 finding it harder and harder to get emotionally invested in sports anymore burned out I guess

Apparently they wanted to give Macha a chance to destroy his confidence.

Otherwise it’s completely inexplicable.

As if I need further proof that Gamel has been mishandled, Witrado said today that he agrees with Gamel’s treatment this season.

Gallardo
Suppan
Doug Davis (making Suppan money)
Dave Bush
Braden Looper

Hooray.

by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Sep 22, 2009 7:18 PM CDT up reply actions  

Also Ken Macha will clone Craig Counsell...

.. so he can play him at all 4 infield positions simultaneously. And once a week Macha will hold a press conference to discuss how much Mat Gamel sucks, even though Gamel will be playing for a club that sent us two middle relievers in return.

Obviously, Macha's decision to play Counsell over Gamel can't be great for Gamel's confidence

Leyland's comments made even less sense (if that's possible).

“Boo hoo, the other team has more available pinch hitters.”

And most of them were in Triple or Double A for the whole year. Why is that such a big problem for a playoff contender?

by Rubie Q on Sep 22, 2009 8:20 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions  

And why don't you have them too?

I don’t understand the logic that callups create a talent disparity. I’m guessing every team has a similar level of prospects/AAAA players who can rot on the end of benches and bat in the 14th inning of games.

I’d say your obsessing over Macha getting fired borders WSB’s hatred of Cameron.

Calling for Macha to be fired isn't a matter of obsession or hatred.

It’s a matter of necessity and sanity preservation.

If only they had a really really good prospect that could play some at third base

so we didn’t have to wear down Counsell at this point in the year.

E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).

by Jordan M on Sep 22, 2009 8:41 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah, but I read in the Witrado chat today...

… that Gamel strikes out a lot and doesn’t hit for “major power” which apparently means he’s worthless.

I’m pretty sure it was Macha posing the question.

by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Sep 22, 2009 8:58 PM CDT up reply actions  

I was really hoping KL would crash the chat

and drop his stat about the respective OPSes of guys who strike out a lot vs. guys who don’t strike out very much.

Alas.

My blood pressure is high enough.

I usually don’t even read Witrado chats, unless someone directs me to a specific comment.

by Kyle Lobner on Sep 22, 2009 9:04 PM CDT up reply actions  

Me neither.

But it was a slow afternoon at work.

I’m still trying to figure out what “major power” is.

by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Sep 22, 2009 9:06 PM CDT up reply actions  

i'm guessing if you put a big league uniform on me

i could strike out a lot, but not have such a large OPS.

Perhaps large OPS guys make it into the bigs due to their OPS and can therefore get away with a slightly larger K-rate? If they didn’t OPS so high, they wouldn’t have made the cut due to those Ks.

In other words, I think your “stat” is crap. interesting no doubt, but still worthless.

by PagsBrewCrew on Sep 22, 2009 9:08 PM CDT up reply actions  

That question was asked by one of the guys who used to write for Chuckie Hacks.

if that game goes anything like today’s, they’ll eat camera time by interviewing everyone in the stadium.

Jarrett

Maybe he’ll grow up to be a terrible cornerback for the Packers like his namesake.

that guy always pulls obscure facts out

like “it’s been the 4th time this season that he got plunked 3 days since the last plunking three times consequtively and while 24 seconds had elapsed in the minute”

have a good one pags

don’t dream about this

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

Sometimes when Im being a big jerk

I will go up to people in the Wal-Mart and ask them to help me find something, and then they will say “I don’t work here” and I will say “Really, are you sure?”

Things like that keep my heart pumping.

Hey, I have people ask me that all the time when I'm at Hobby Lobby

…worst part is that I know where the stuff is that they’re asking for.

True Story

I was in a Hobby Lobby a week or 2 ago with my son.

We wandered around for about 20 minutes, and then my son said to me “What in the hell are we doing in here?” I had no idea, so we left the store.

So Vargas had blood from one elbow injected into the other, and it prevented surgery.

Doesn’t that blood flow around on its own? And if it doesn’t, maybe that’s the problem?

Haven't you learned to ignore them by now?

Your values is in disarray, prioritizin' horribly
Unhappy with the riches 'cause you're piss-poor morally
Ignorin' all prior advice and forewarnin'
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden, aren’t we?

Clearly I meant elbows

Uh, there's a half-dead-fat-man eating a dead-fat-man...am I the only one who realized? Oh, okay...

I hope your dog is better...

However, when I was scanning a thread and I saw the words “Gorman” and “puking” I didn’t think it was about a dog.

Wow, you know it's a slow night...

Uke also went for an inning or so about having roommates when he was playing

…and the stuff they would do to each other. I was rolling.
